On the subject of colors.

[Leowyldemi]

there was a mention of colors and how to get them on another thread but i don't want to hijack it.
Howie had the coloring of a wild buny, brown fur witha lighter undercoat and a cream/white colored belly, except for one little white spot on his front foot he had the exact coloring of the wild bunnies i see around our new home.
Could he have had a touch of wild rabbit in him? he was a lionhead.

Not from any American species of wild rabbit. The color (chestnut agouti)is the dominant "original"color of the European wild rabbit, which your rabbit is descended from.

We had a Nethie that looked just like the bunnies in the 7 up super bowl commercial.

thanks! i always wondered about that,i did know that he was a european breed(even if he was born in the us, that's where his "line" started)

All domestic rabbit breeds descend from the European wild rabbit. They're a different species than the rabbits that are native to North America. So they can't crossbreed with jack rabbits or cottontails, etc.

Hope that helps!
