Carolyn, I already said I was sorry if my post came off asrude. I did not intend for it to be so. Yes I madean assumption and jumped to a conclusion...my bad.I am only human. My post was meant only with thebest of intentions...to educate. Also yes..Pam is avery very smart woman and knows a lot...

Hmm..okay. I'm not very familiar withthe UK breeds...lol. Well perhaps a No Mane Lionheadthen. If someone in the UK bred their Lionhead to aNetherland Dwarf it would explain the smaller size...however Lionheadsusually have shorter ears too. Blah! Iagree with Pam that the picture looks like a bun...

I've never even heard of such a thing. What the world is it? *baffled* :D

Ok..I went to the British Rabbit Council website to see what UK breed the lop is...lol. Edited to add website link.. http://www.thebrc.org/breeds.htm The little one would probably be a Sable Point (color name is forUSA..no idea what its called in the UK) Polish. Her bodystructure looks simular...

Your other bun looks like a Broken Orange MiniLop (I think its dwarf lop for UK). Its hard to tell exactlyhow big she is from the picture..lol. Mini Lops areabout 5 to 6.5 lbs. How much does your first bun weigh? That'd help a lot intrying to figure her breed. I do know she is 100% not...

Also ...Sable Point is hercolor. Defined as..a clear cream or almond color onthe body. There is a dark sepia brown on the nose, ears, feetand tail including the underside of the tail. The undercoloris light cream to off white. Eyes are Brown. Eyesmay have a slight ruby glare to them in the right...

hehe...you replied as I was editing...so.. Rabbits with a ruby glare to their eye, such as Ruby-eyed White,Siamese Sables and Sable Points (there are more colors too...), will dosomething called scanning. When they scan the move their headslowly left to right as if they as somewhat weaving...

Well shes a Sable Point that I can tellyou. As to her breed um...mix breed...no clue.Definantly not himalayan. How much does she weigh? What do you mean by swaying? As in her head weaving slowlyback and forth while shes sitting still? Does your bun have aruby glare to her eye at all? Sable...

:shock: Your reply is very heated andunjustly so. My post merely sought to pose valid questions asto whycrossbreeding this pairwould even be takeninto consideration andquestioningwhether or not thepitfalls of breedinghad everbeenconsidered.Why is it that you'veattacked me in your post? Is it...

That bun is way too small to be an EnglishSpot. At 2.5 lbs I would say you've got a mismarkedDwarf Hotot. ;)

LOL...Pam you are right on the Hotots.I forgot they carry du (Dutch gene) too. See whathappens when you try thinking without a good nights sleep?LOL! :D

My only comment is just repeating myself again.. I would not recommend anyone doing any crossbreeding period unless itis being done to benefit an existing breed and even then it should bedone carefully and the cross well researched first ( such as crossing aCalifornian to a New Zealand to...

I've been tossing around adopting a housebunmyself. Housebun would obviously be spayed/neutered as Ithink I'd like a Flemish due to their gentle nature and large size andwell have no desire to raise that particularbreed. Anyone know how housebuns react to stairs? My house is duallevel and I'm...

Well Hotothave the Broken Gene (En)with a special modifier to limit the color to be around just its eyes(like eyeliner) although sometimes the modifier skips a bit and allowsa bit of color elsewhere which is considered a mismark (also a DQ forshowing). Dutch do not have the Broken...
