He is red and looks very much like a Netherland Dwarf.

Hi lela and Nancy, the bunny in the picture is BRC rung and her ring size is "B" meaning she's not a nethy! This is why I'm confused :? Any other ideas would be appreciated !

Ring size B is usually given to Argente Creme, Dutch, Himalayan, Mini Rex, Tan, Tri-colour Dutch:?

What about a Thrianta which is very red and I believe larger than the BRC Nethie.
Have a good day!

Could she be a netherland dwarf that didn't get the dwarfing gene?

she wasn't rung as a netherland dwarf as her ring size is 'B' which is not given to netherlands.

Well if she was rung in the first place shouldn't it be on record somewhere?
Also could you explain the ring thing a little? We don't do it that way here and don't know the BRC system of doing things.
How much does the rabbit weigh?

I didn't breed her so I don't know her original details. She weighs 1.7kg! The ring on the rabbits leg tell you the year the rabbit was born , a letter telling you the ring size and a number after for each individual bunny.

If you are a registered BRC breeder you will order the appropriate rings for your breed from the BRC. In case of ND, you need to put on the ring by about 3 weeks and once the leg grows you can't slip it off anymore.
From what I heard in other breeds you can put rings on at a later stage and I assume you can take them off too.
It is just a very bizarre thing for a BRC breeder to do. The only reason for ringing a rabbit is that it can be shown in a BRC show. Why would someone put a ring on a rabbit that doesn't meet the standard or even worse put on a ring that does not match the breed:? In either case the rabbit can't be shown.
This is what she looks like to me but Netherland dwarfs are rung with an x size ring (and only ND have this particular size)

If a brc member was to contact the brc and give them the ring details would they be able to give you the breeders info? just a thought

I was wondering, does your ring look as if it can be easily removed from the rabbits leg? In that case there is a chance someone put on a left over ring from another breeder or a ring that belonged to another rabbit. It beats me though who would bother doing such a thing:? If that ring does actually not belong to this rabbit then I would be very concerned breeding her. I recall your ring number had last years date (10)on it but if it is not the right ring the rabbit could be older than a year. Any chance you could contact the person you got her from and maybe get some clarification that way?
Hmm... I wonder do I know such a person:biggrin: I can try my luck but from past experience the BRC are very slow to give out personal details of their members.

I contacted the girl I bought her from and she is as confused about her as me because she was told a red satin dwarf! She also won't give the info of the original importer so I've hit a brick wall there! The ring doesn't seem like it can come off over her ankle at all!!

I am so confused. Um..She is netherland dwarf/extra cute bunny/red fluff ball mix Glad I could help!
Glad I could help!
Our little Charlene looked just like her except for being an Agouti. She was a Nethie mix and look just like a Netherland except she was larger--4 pounds.
