He looks like a mismarked Dutch to me!
WAS THE PERSON YOU PURCHASED FROM A BREEDER
SPECIALIZING IN AN SPECIFIC BREEDS, or was it
someone just breeding to create Pet rabbits?
Did you get a Pedigree with your purchase?
Hmm, there may be no way of actually knowing
the genetic background of your new Buck,
but if you're happy with him, that is all that matters.

I confess, my first thought when I saw the pic was "mismarked dutch", but I thought I'd wait and see what others said ;)

To be honest, and I'm ashamed to admit this, but I got him from the local pet store. Generally I won't buy animals from pet stores, however, our local pet store manager breeds his own fancy rats, his own fish, and his own cockatiels. He does not breed rabbits. However, he only gets his rabbits from a local 4-H breeder, who breeds for show quality and sells her pet quality bunnies to the pet store manager(only a couple at a time) and the rest to other pet bunny lovers. Maybe the breeder told him it was a Dutch, but he doesn't know a lot about rabbits, so when a few weeks ago I asked him about Mini Rex bunnies he thought that my mismarked Dutch was a Mini Rex. With me not knowing that much about rabbit breeds and genetics yet, I just assumed that it was a Rex because that's what he said it was.

Either way, I'm quite happy with him. He's a sweet boy, and Dutch rabbits are very nice too, even though I was originally wanting either a Mini Rex or a Holland Lop! :lol:

I'm going to call the pet store in an hour and see if I can't get the breeder's phone number. I'm really curious as to what my bunny is! I will love him either way, but I just want to know so bad now. lol

He has blue eyes, right? I kind of think that the person on HT (was it Honorine?) that suggested blue-eyed Vienna-marked might be on to something.

Yes, but I don't know what any of that means. You'd have to dumb it down for me. :P

If he has blue eyes, he's likely not dutch.
