  Hi everybun. I am a new bun mama, and I must say I am absolutely in love. However I’ve been trying to figure out the specifics of her breed and color by myself and I feel like I’m chasing my tail. She is tiny and has extremely soft, kind of long fur, and up ears. I was thinking maybe Netherland dwarf, but maybe her ears are too long, and eyes a little small? She’s most likely a mix, which is fine, but I’m just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction? As for the color, is it broken Chestnut? It’s patches of a tabby-like pattern on top of white.

  Welcome to Binky Bunny!
  
  She’s a cutie! I’ll leave others to guess at her breed or breed mix.
  I added the photo to the post for you. You had uploaded them as attachments correctly, there was just one last step missed. Next to the file name there is an “Insert Image” icon. Just click on that and the photos will appear in the body of your post.

  Welcome! She’s definitely cute ^_^
  
  It can be really tricky to see which breed a rabbit is, because a lot of rabbits are a mix. The characteristics of an NL dwarf don’t really seem match her, although a dwarf breed probably is somewhere in the mix. Her head is not extremely round, as is seen in NL dwarves and her ears don’t seem to match.
  I’m not an expert on breeds, but we do have a cinnamon NL dwarf ourselves, see a pic of Breintje below. Characteristics of an NL dwarf are:
  
  – Ears are on top of the head and upright, so close together that they’re nearly touching
  – Ears are mostly shorter than 5 cm
  – The head is extremely round
  – Big eyes
  – Round body, the rabbit looks like 2 spheres stacked onto eachother
  – Adult body weight is between 0,5 kg and 1,2 kg
  
  I hope someone else has an idea of which breed she is!

  Or even a fuzzy lop mix?
  
  She does look like a “broken chestnut agouti”. Does she have a bit of light fawn colour around her eyes? And stripes down the hair shaft on her coloured areas?
  
  She’s got almost dutch-like markings too, though this can occur in many breeds.

  Thank you! She makes me go squee too!!
  
  Yes I think she has a bit of a lighter brown bear her eyes but just the very inside ring, the rest of her eye patches are the darker tabby color. She also has some lighter brown inside her ears, but both of these might just be because the fur is somewhat thinner in these locations. Where her long fur is it’s either white or the agouti.
