Not a New Zealand as far as I'm aware. Could be crossbred with a Flemish or British Giant. Either way, she sure is a beauty.

Can't think of a name, but I'd like to throw outanother possible mixture -- maybe a Giant Chinchillamix? Guessing because of the coloring and longer face anddifferent eyeshape. You will find Giant Chin mixs -- esp usedfor 'home-grown' rabbit meat.
 
Oh my goodness, she is one big beautifulrabbit!:shock: If it wereme,I would have to keep her too! I love hercoloring and I think Shadow would fit her well for a name.Some Flemish background for sure. Gypsy had some goodthoughts, it will be interesting to see what Pamthinks. :D Beckie
 
I want that Rabbit!

What a GORGEOUS Baby!! :shock2:

What a stunning girl. Maybe some Giant Chinchilla mixed in, from the color?

I think she looks like a Grand Dame, or Dame. She has thatelegant commanding look. Or something traditionallyVictorian. That dewlap looks like a high-necked collar.
 
She is beautiful! ....looks like she could be across between a light gray Flemish (coloring, ear width) and a NZ(narrower, smaller head) ... very common on the meat market.Keep in mind, the reason they "do" this cross is to give them a big,fast growing rabbit with smaller bones (higher meat to boneratio). I'm not trying to gross anyone out, BUT, theserabbits are NOTbred to be grown to adulthood orbred. A lot of them have bone problems as theymature. (Weak bones can not support the body weight as theyget heavier.) As long as you are aware of it and take it intoconsideration when setting up cage/living space. No jumps,high ledges, no wild binkys, Good Calcium levels, lower protein feed(15% to keep muscle mass lower), and keep her from gettingoverweight. (Fat is bad!)

The attitude in the cage is probably age appropriate. She'sjust cage protective... fine outside the cage though. Goodluck with her Kim! She looks lovely!
