What breed is Athena?

[Apollo’s Slave]

As you may or may not know, I recently adopted a new bunny. And while I don’t care about what breed she is, it would be interesting to see what people think. The rescue says that she is an ‘old English cross’ but she doesn’t look like one. I think she’s got a tad bit of lop in her and her ears sometimes go down (or partially down).

Since you said that her ears sometimes go down she might be mixed with a holland lop.

She's a gorgeous crossbreed. Could very well be an English crossbreed, looks like my BB (apart from colouring) and she is an English crossbreed. RRR are experts so if that is what they say I would believe them.

Thank you! Yeah, I’ll probably just say crossbreed when people ask

How much does she weigh? She probably does have some lop in her. I had no idea what an Old English rabbit was, so I googled it and they are the same thing as an English Spot. She looks like a sport (solid) English Spot, but I would need a picture of her back to tell. English rabbits have high arches, and I can't tell if she does or not based on the pictures you sent. I thought about getting a rabbit that looks so much like her a couple of months back, but it was still a baby and it was the runt so it would need some help getting back to full health so we decided not to get it.

She’s not much bigger than Apollo - I didn’t ask the rescue (oops), but because of her size, I would think that she is about 6lb. She’s a solid black-ish grey colour (no white). It’s quite hard to take pictures of her as anytime I move she thinks I have treats

Aw, hopefully you’ll find Theo the perfect friend!

Sport English Spots don't have any white on them. Lol, Theo still thinks that everytime I move it is because I'm going to give him a treat! Thanks, we hope to find the perfect friend too!

In the first picture of a Sport English Spot you can really see the arched back where as a normal rabbits back would be like the rabbit in the second picture.
