         He is rather large, about a foot and three inches tall when standing straight up. I got him about a month ago from somebody who didn’t seem to know to much about him, other than the fact that he is two years old. 
        I have a baby mini lop polish mix, and I was wondering if hes going to get anywhere near my bigger bunnies size. But I can’t find this out unless I know Moo’s breed! any help would be greatly appreciated

            I guess Dutch mix too. He is such a cutie! If he’s 2 years old, he shouldn’t get much bigger than the size he is now.

              I was thinking dutch as well but he’s so big! he ways at least 6 or 7 pounds. He also has a white spot in his eye, I’ve been told this is common with dutch rabbits?

                He’s probably a Dutch crossed with a larger breed. Nugget is also over 6 pounds so they’re probably about the same size… but yours doesn’t look as fat as mine lol.

                    I never would have guessed he is a 6-7lb bunny!
                    I love his looks and colouration.

                    Where abouts is the spot in his eye? I have heard of Dutch marked buns getting half blue/half brown eyes but I hadn’t heard about white spots.

                      I know he really doesn’t look big in this picture at all, but he’s a big boy! He’s almost three times the size of my mini lop. And the white spot is located towards the inner corner of his left eye. It’s a tiny spot, and his sight seems to be fine

                        He looks like a dutch mixed with a larger breed and I am positive that he isn’t a purebred rabbit mutts are usually referred to as domestic rabbits.

                          I definitely see Dutch mix too. Not sure what the other breed could be. He’s gorgeous!

                            Could be a dutch mix, or it could be another breed with the Vienna marking gene. It’s not related to the dutch marking gene, but often produces similar white spotting. Otherwise, I’m really not sure!

                              I always wonder about that. I just figured the Dutches had the Vienna gene.
                              Elrohwen, had you cone across anything about white marks in the eyes of Dutch rabbits?

                              Tupac, do you have some pictures of him?
