Hello new to the forum here,

I've had Howard for three years now, but as he was a rescue rabbit we have no idea what breed he is. I suspect he may be a cross-breed, but have no idea really even after some basic research. He is of a medium size, quite stocky built with short legs, very round back, lop ears and has an almost triangular shaped head. His fur is of a medium thickness and length and is mostly a light grey in colour with some pure white. Temperament-wise he is very comfortable around people and some people have even commented that he behaves like a little dog.

Find attached these pictures which I hope may help identify his breed(s) - many thanks in advance

Is that a child's chair? If it is then I would guess a cross with some dwarf lop in him.

If it's an adult chair then he almost certainly has some giat such as Frenchie in him!

He is lovely

I would say he's either a Dwarf Lop or a Mini Lop

Thanks for all the responses and kind comments - although I don't think I've seen a rabbit on here that isn't gorgeous in some way!

I did think he may be a French Lop or a Holland Lop after doing my research, but it was his head that never really matched, it looks more angular than most French and Holland Lops. I suppose he could have some other breeds in him way down the line though.

The chair is only a child's chair by the way, but it isn't a tiny chair. As I said he's a medium size, certainly not a dwarf breed but not one of the giants either.

I would say Dwarf Lop.

Holland/Mini Lops will weigh under 2kg, ideally something like 1.5kg. 2kg - 4kg is Dwarf Lop territory and over 4kg is French Lop!

hi and welcome to the forum he is a lovely bunny, I would say he is a dwarf lop, his face is to rounded to be a mini lop (Holland lop in usa) mini lops tend to have flatter faces :wave:

Thank you all for your help! I now think he could be a dwarf lop cross as he is around 2kg.

He looks lovely , a very similar size, look and build to my wee Floppy who was a dwarf lop cross.

Don't know what he was crossed with though. Xx
