This is Haru! He's a checkered giant and lionhead mix I believe :) he is 1 and a half! He always falls asleep in my arms with his head on my chest, he's my best friend :p

He looks similar to one I had years back (except for the lionhead-ish mane). I don't think either are checkered giant though. (I know mine wasn't.) Checkered Giants are very long and lean. @SableSteel is good at breed identification.

Found a photo on ARBA site of Checkered Giant. See how lean?

This is my baby Rocky ! He’s around 6 months old. When we got him they weren’t sure if he was 8 or 10 weeks old .
Stupidest thing: well Rocky does a lot ! He chewed our Xmas lights , lucky they were switched off . Chewed Barbie’s nose off ! Chewed on all the nurf bullets
I love it when he comes over for cuddles and when he licks my face I feel like he’s giving me kisses .
I love him to bits , he’s one special bunny
So cute! Thanks for sharing!
 
Cute rabbit. Doesn't look like a checkered giant though. Checkered giants are big, lean and mean - about two feet tall sitting naturally if I had to estimate (I'm not brave enough to try to measure them lol). They're also extremely rare and hard to keep as they need A LOT of extra space and exercise, and are prone to sore hocks unless they have specially made cages, so they're not likely to be found in a breed mix.

The spotted color is caused by the same gene that causes their markings though. The pattern is called "Broken" and the gene is the called "English Spotting" (after the English Spot breed which shares a similar pattern).
