Super fluffy lionhead or a mix?

[Korah Stoddard]

Howdy! I got this little guy, Otto, from the rescue a few years back at about 4 months old. They said he was a pure lionhead, but all of the other lionheads I've seen have just had a ring of fur around their faces and sometimes a skirt (I have also had a lionhead lop mix and he wasn't nearly this fluffy). Otto's entire face and most for his body is pure fluff to the point that I have to trim it so he's able to see. Does anyone else have a lionhead like this, or do you think he is some kind of angora mix.
I do not know exactly how big he is, but he is just a bit smaller than my mini lop who's about 5 pounds.



A month or so after I got him next to my old Holland lop.

It's possible he's a lionhead mix. Or he may just be a double maned lionhead, as opposed to a single mane. And some can have a genetically thicker coat, which he appears to have.

Whatever he is…he’s a cutie

I was just going to say what @JBun said, he may be a double maned lionehad. He's a gorgeous fluffy boy that's for sure!

Probably a double--we've only had single mane and they were truly cute, too.

I have a lionhead who is just as fluffy...she has a gorgeous coat and you can find her lying on or near an air vent to keep cool. I've attached a pic. She is a double moaned, blue eyed, and I have to keep her bottom shaved, or else it gets very messy. She has a hard time eating her cecotropes because of all the fur and I trim around her eyes as well so she can see. When she pinkies, its a real treat...like a giant powder puff...lol!

What a fluffy boy! Of course it's impossible to know for sure, but he may just be a double maned lionhead with some extra fluff!
