I adopted this guy yesterday after he was dumped at a petstore. What is his breed, do you think?
Britannia Petite?

Darn, and I was hoping for a 12 pounder. Oh well, maybe next time. I love him though. I'm pretty sure he's a boy. When I poked him, he poked back. I'm going to find out today for sure, see how old he is, and if he's already been neutered. I think I found a stitch down there a couple days ago. I'm thinking he came from the fair, but he doesn't have a tattoo on his ear.

Well, Blaze, you have some sort of intuition. He is a SHE. I think I'm going to name her Harriet. Get it.. Hare-E-it.

I agree with the others though, she looks Polish to me. In fact, she looks remarkably like a little Polish mix we have here as a pet! They sure are a calm, friendly breed. A lot of people recommend them for small kids.

Oh, on another note...BP's are pretty ugly (snipey and skinny, plus I think an arch breed?) and they have nasty personalities. That's not a matter of opinion...the people who BREED them agree that they're nasty! LOL!
So that is generally not something you'd find in a pet store (most breeders won't sell them as pets) for that reason and also because they're pretty hard to find anyway.

Well, I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think brits are pretty cool little rabbits. I wouldn't describe them as ugly, snipey or skinny. I would say that some have nasty dispositions and are prone to biting, but not all of them. For that matter, my daughter had a himi doe that was nastier tempered than most of her brits.

So if she weighs 2.7 pounds, she can probably go ahead and be spayed then? How can you tell how old they are?

I know someone who breeds them and the personality bit was straight from her. I don't think the breed would ever, ever be bred or recommended for pets. And again...that's not a biased opinion...that's straight from someone who likes the breed.
