  Hi guys,
  
  Out of curiosity I decided to see what kind of breeds Siha may come from. The closest I can find is a Blanc De Hotot. She has one black eye and light markings down her back. What do you think?

  Could be hotot, but the minimal spotting can happen among almost any spotted rabbit if the genes are right. Her face looks a little Polish to me, but that’s really just a guess.

  Do you know her weight Emmie?
  
  Ditto Elrohwen. The colour markings can lead us astray when trying to guess a breed or breed mix. I was reading on colour genetics in rabbits again yesterday and it boggles my mind.
  
  Lovely to see pics of the two together already!

  She could honestly be so many different things. Did her past owners mention where they got her or if they saw the parents?
  
  I wonder if knowing what is common in the area helps discern breed? Some breeds are super common and come into the pet market. Others not so much.
  
  Just a random guess…maybe some Florida white, Dutch and mini Rex perhaps. The last 2 giving more finer features in the face.
  Are her eyes brown? Blue? Doesn’t help work out her breed but I’m just curious.
