The Breed of My Rabbit?

by Martha

Hi
Does anyone know the breed of my rabbit, Paul? He looks like a Netherland Dwarf (the tapered ears and smallish looking body) but he's only about 9 weeks old so it's hard to tell what he is, really.
The woman I bought him from didn't know what breed he is. I don't particularly care about his breed, but I am curious to know so I can have a better understanding of his natural temperament, possible health problems, etc

I named him after Paul Atreides from the novel series Dune. He's so adorable, isn't he? :D

English Spot or Not? NEW
by: CropperRoy

Paul looks almost identical to my 4 month old crossbreed Jeff. His Dad is a dwarf lionhead cross Black fur & mum is large size Brown rabbit. I reckon definately English spot somewhere in the genes. Enjoy him he's gorgeous.

He’s a cross between the Netherland Dwarf and a english spot. He has the body shape of the Netherland Dwarf but the markings of the English spot. :)

Not English spot NEW
by: Anonymous

That's definetly not an English spot, lots of people mistake spotted rabbits for English spots. Even if you google an English spot it looks nothing like that. They are arched breeds, with a trail of spots or a stripe down their back, and only have a few spots on the sides and much larger ears. That is probably a dwarf mix.

He is really adorable. Looks like the size and shape of my netherland dwarf when we brought her home at 8 weeks.
