Anyone out there thinking it's immoral this is only a hypothetical. Wahy would it look like if you bred a lionhead to an elop? I ask this because those are my two favorite breeds and both have defining characteristics.
 
Because the offspring would be single mane - there is a very good chance that the mane would molt out and not come back.
 
I think it would be a mess. Besides the facts that Peg just listed, it def wont come out with specific breedings over time to what you are expecting.
 
hmmm those would be strange looking rabbits!! i breed both those breeds not together of course lol i always make sure doors are shut tight when someone is out playing so those mix ups dont happen!
 
The problem is their type isnt atall simular- ELop has a flyback coat, semi-arch body type, etc... So it would take many, many generations of cross-breeding to get a quality mix. I agree wih GorbyJob, it would be just a hot mess!
