WHats your thought?

[2 bun-owner]

Since I'm on the breed kick I guess I'm going to ask
This.

So I was told when I got this doe that she
Was a belgan. Well, we all know she is NOT
A BELGAN.

Well ( in a round about way) the lady that originally
Had her told me she is a satin/lop

So what do you think??

Maybe a Flemish Giant or Flemish Giant cross? (Flemish = Belgium, the north at least...)

Looks like some sort of New Zealand cross to me.

It doesn't look flemish and we have them a lot here.

It is hard to tell if she has a commercial (most common large breeds) or mandolin (flemmish, Beveren, a few others) body shape in these pictures and Flemmish and their crosses are usually over 12 pounds in weight so providing that info would help.

I tentatively say she is a broken red New Zealand cross

Like I mentioned she's about 10 pounds. I have
No idea what your meaning Dood when you say
Commercial or mandolin. Not sure what your looking
For?

she looks like a pretty rabbit. does breed matter? You can't really say she's any particular breed. But she sure is pretty.

I do believe it looks like a New Zeland/Flemish Giant cross... I have 2:

Like I mentioned she's about 10 pounds.

I don't see a weight mentioned here, perhaps in another post?

If she is in the 10lb range I would say its more likely she is satin or french lop and New Zealand cross rather than having any Flemish Giant in her. The does colour is not very common except in New Zealand's which is why I believe she is likely this breed.

No problem, here is a good site showing the different body types rabbits come in - http://www.raising-rabbits.com/types-of-rabbits.html

Semi arch and Mandolin are the same and the rabbits tend to have big round butts that taper to a narrower shoulder area.

A side view of your rabbit in a show pose would help us guess her breed.

I'd place a money bet on Satin x NZ cross. I have one that looks identical and one of the people I buy kits from always has a few of these show up in the litter.
