Breed help....

[machiavelli]

I am trying to figure out what kind of rabbit it just got. He's about two months old and we were told he will probably triple in size but I was told the same about my Lionhead who barely doubled in size in the time I've had him (which has been almost 4 years). Below, please see a picture of my new bun named Chester... He holds his ears like that, completely upright or completely back which is making it very difficult when trying to figure him out. Any help on figuring out his breed is appreciated. Thanks!!

He looks very similar to my boy. He does the same with his ears. Mine is a chin/mini lop cross so he's grey.

He appears to be a Holland Lop or Mini Lop. His mature size should be a better clue, although that is not always an indicator.

The top picture is Olivia my Mini Lop doe who does (but isnt doing it in the picture...just chillin :]) the ear thing, and the bottom pic is her current baby Popcorn, an almost 6 week old black chinchilla (like mom) mini lop buck, who is the only survivor out of 7 prematurely born kits, and currently for sale (please view www.banditsbunnyfarm.weebly.com for more information on him if interested)... I'll post a picture of sire when I find one

One of mine holds her ears like that too.When one is more up I know she is curious about something when its slightly turned to the side she is annoyed and when the one ear that is usually up is turned back I know to leave her alone or get nipped/thumped at. Lops are hard to read body language but trial and error has gotten me this far.
