Not sure what breed...help?!

[bunny_lover]

All I was told, was that he's a meat rabbit. I know there's more to him though...

How big is he? If he was bred formeat,he mayFlemish cross. Possibly Satinwas where the broken pattern came from. Hard for me to tellfrom the picture though. I'd need to closely examine thecoat. A very flat, flyback coat would rule out Flemish or Lopmix. Hairs with a very fine diameter would make a Satin crossvery likely. Could also have New Zealand in the mix.

Here is another pic of him...hope it helps a little? And he's around 18 pounds...heavy bunny.

 

[pamnock]

Wow! He's much bigger than Ithought! Do you have a side view of his markings?Looks like he very well could be a Checkered Giant or a Checkered mix.

[bunny_lover]

Hmmm...I have a pic of his butt!

 

[pamnock]

Guess that'll have to do for now LOL

He really appears to be a Checkered Giant cross. It's notunusual to cross commercial meat breeds with Flemish or CheckeredGiants to create fast growing hybrids. A photo of him up andrunning around would help give more of a clue as to whether he's beencrossed with amedium buildcommercial breed rabbit.

Is it the lighting on his butt, or are there different colored hairs running through it?

The butt photo works for me...... he's an adorable bunny!!!

 

[pamnock]

The size of a tail on a rabbit like that is amazing -- it's the size of a tiny rabbit LOL

18 pounds!! OMG how adorable, Imagine the bunny kisses that big beautiful bunny would give!!

 

[bunny_lover]

LOL Thanks everyone. Yeah, he's a BIG boy. Um,I'll try to get a better picture of him after school. And yes, as hegot older some different colored hairs started to be noticable on hisbutt Not sure why...

 

[pamnock]

It's hard to tell from the photo if they are justold hairs or actual tannish/steel hairs. Thosetannish hairs would indicate he's probably been crossed with acommercial breed that carries the steel gene such as Satin or thatthere is Flemish in the background. I'd have to see a sidebody shot of him to make a better guess.
