› Forum › THE LOUNGE › Any breed which would you pick?
Ok lets pretend that pet shops no longer sell animals and the shelters where not needed anymore and the only way you could get a new rabbit was to put yourself on a waiting list from a breeder…
Which breed would you pick?
For me it changes a bit but I have to say Lion head (because they just look sooo cute) or a BIG dutch as they look like they would give the best cuddles!
lionhead, another nethie, or a mini lop. hubby says to add a polish to the list. <3
well I think i will always have a neatherland after having bugz so that was a given. I have never seen a lionhead over here so i think that even if I wanted one I would have to go on a waiting list!
Wow… interesting to think about no petstores and no need for shelters… wouldn’t it be amazing if everyone KEPT the buns they acquired!?
In that case… I’d get two (who am I kidding?!)… a big beautiful gray or black Flemish Giant and an equally beautiful (but not quite as big) New Zealand REW.
im completly with beka27 on this one i have one of those – beautiful
Oh my gosh, I’m so in love with lops that they are probably the only bunnies I’ll ever have. But without any consequences for my actions or without making a bun homeless I’d just die to get my hands on a charcoal grey colored english lop. Exactly like this one… isn’t that the most precious story book bunny ever?
Haha, I keep just staring at this pic now. She doesn’t even look like a real bunny. She looks like a gray velveteen rabbit with satin lining in her ears. Sigh, what a pretty girl.
*raises hand and jumps around*
Tri-color Dutch!!! Omg-gimmie!!
I’d take another Harelequin-probably a rex-never had one of those.
Oh also-Agreed-I’d get an English lop too!! Adalaid-you get the gray-I’ll take a blue eyed white.
hmmmm….Can I be greedy?
I’d also like a black and white dutch-with the little white feeties. And probably another lionhead-they shed big fur, but they don’t shed *much* -that’s always nice. And they look goofy and cute.
Oh I almost forgot-I want a GIANT bunny-German/flemish giant. Ruperts big but I would go for bigger
I would want a teeny tiny little lady. Just like MonkeyBun! Netherland right? I just think it would be quite the pair, my big flemish boy and my teeny little nethie girl.
all bunnys are so cute
Hmmm … part of me would like another Holland Lop – either a shaded color (white or tan body with darker nose/ears/etc) or plain old broken tort (I love the spotted ones for some reason).
I’d love a harli (we call them “tiger bunnies” in our house, lol).
And I want a Flemmie!!! Though hubby would prefer a French Lop because they’re just as big as Flemmies but look like a giant version of our current bun.
Although my first was a netherland dwarf, I”d have to say dutches all the way.
oh man what an impossible question! i love how cute floppy ears look on lops… i love the big uppy ears and beautiful pink eyes on my rew nethie… i love how soft rexes are… i love the markings and personalities of dutches… i love the poofiness of lionheads and angoras… i love the humungous size of flemmies… i love… i love… i love…
*sighs* i think if i were to pretend, i’d pretend that i had unlimited funds so that i could have unlimited bunnies!!!

So what you are saying is that this is the breed you’d choose?
I would definitely sign up for 3. A harlequin dutch, a REW dwarf, and a belgian hare.
I would totally want a “siamese” colored bunny- but with the extra white on the face and body- it is called a “broken shaded sable”? Not sure on the official color name. But I love, love, love that color and pattern. I also love the black/grey and white harlequin bunnies too.
But as to what breed? Well, I do adore lops so maybe a Velveteen Lop. But it would be nice to have an uppy eared bunny in my “sea of lops”- so if the bunny had the gorgeous coloring and uppy ears- that is all I would really need. I guess now that I got my “dream bunny”- Griffin the English Lop- I can dream bigger now!
I would pick Frankie.
If I could have any bun of my choosing it would have to be mrmac’s Dexter.
Alright, if we’re talking about which member’s bunny we want, I’ll take amanda-penny&lola’s little non-fluffy boy. <33
(By the way, I wonder what’s up with her and the bunnies? She hasn’t updated in weeks.)
Lionhead Nethie english lop colors lionhead siamese brown Nethis frosted smoke peark english lop gray/white sprinkles You know the grays that are not solid dark gray but gray with white mixed in.
That bunny in the middle with of the picture with white nose black mouth and brown looks beautiful too
I don’t care how she gets gray or if she has other colors mixed in. I am just not as enamored with the ones that are other colors. Maybe the black ones, but I really really love the gray.
For members, I’d have to look again but off the top of my head, it would have to be the house rabbit Vivian. Got to know her in the shelter, getting to know her even more here. I love the diva’s.
Without a doubt id want a REW flemmie! Runner up would be a checkered giant I think.
I would steal Griffin! My mom already said I could. lol. She actually had a dream about him after I showed her pictures. Any breed though would def be rex or mini rex. I really can’t say enough how much a love the lack of constant shedding that my other two have. I’ve seen some awesome rex mixes too. I just can’t get over that fur.
You know guys I am going and looking up half these breeds (as being new to the rabbit slave business I am not 100% sure what they all are) and well my list is growing! I think that my next rabbit (in say oh… 10 years hopefully) I would look at shelters for a giant as they just look so great!
Yes scooter, My Monkey is a little nethie. A mini nethie at that, she was the runt, and weighs in at less that 1.5 pounds. <3 My itty bitty bunny baby <3
I’m going to add to my list. I want a grey mini rex, amand’as herd (all of em!), Kafrn’s herd (<3 rabz!) Sophie's babies, those wild babies, and jack. jack's just awesome. And maybe griffin, just so my hubby can stare at him wondering how he manages those ears. <3
Members bunnies?
Tough…to…decide.
Frankie for sure, Maryann of course (lookout markbun!!), Jack (bb’s), monkey -four just off the top of my head…but I could definitely shop among all the member cutie bunnies on here

$20 and a plane ticket and she’s yours. I’d finally be able to sleep with both eyes closed…

Monkey is disappointed. She distinctly rememebrs you saying somethign about how Buttons would be a lovely husbun for her.
After I found a perfect little runt like Monkeybun, I would love to have a lop like Griffin in the house. So much character. And I have a thing for ears
I’d take the ones that occured when this breed and that breed accidently got together. Love the mutt breed.
Actually, since we’re pretending, I’ll take 1 of every kind in every colour thanks.
Me too Jersey! And maybe 2 of Monkey, cuz she’s just adorable.
Oooh. Didn’t know we could have each other’s bunnies…
BB’s Jack, of course. This is not a secret to anyone…
And as much as I really, really, really DON’T need a BABY BUNNY… Petzy’s new little Neigey would fit in well at my house. Heck, I’ll even take that big dog as a present for Mike. ;o)

Beka, you think like me: get big dog for husband and get littlle bunny for yourself! — I assume you don’t remember then that this dog broke the window in my boyfriend’s truck…
you still interested???
Oh my gosh! That was your dog? I totally forgot about that! Unbelievable!
Uh… yeah. My offer still stands.
I am so disappointed nobody wants me! *thump* *foot flick*
I would take Mr. Bunny! I love the red eyed whites.
Absolutely! On the other hand… I couldn’t PAY anyone to take MY troublemakers… lol! J/K!
Will if anyone wants mine they can deal with the arthritis, dental, sludge bunnies and vet bills and care – the are more than welcome to it! I feel like I run the Senior Citizen’s Rabbit Home at my place. Just call me Nurse Ratched!
$20 and a plane ticket and she’s yours. I’d finally be able to sleep with both eyes closed…
Hahahah Markbun I would totally take her
I’m sorry, Sarita… but I think you scared everybody off by posting words like “your highness” and “master bunny” in context with your rabbits… Plus, I for one, haven’t seen photos of your Senior Citizens ever. (This is my request for photos, please).
Hmmm Petzy, I think there should be a mandatory posting of ones rabbits at least once a week. What do you think?
OK!!! Let’s start right now — with YOU!!!!
Maybe monthly will do seeing as how people have busy lives…
There are quite a few members (do I have to spell out names?) whose rabbits I haven’t seen photos of.
Well this is kind of a collage I guess – Giselle, then Toffiee & Twizzler, Mango, Peaches & Peppermint and Maxiine
Keep in mind that I do not know the true ages of any of my rabbits since they were strays or from an animal shelter so it’s just a guess between my vets and myself. I have had my seniors all over 6 years (Pepe is probably my youngest and I’ve had him for 4 1/2 years and maybe Emmy too my Rex) and all were full grown when I got them.
My seniors are Maxine (NZ White)
Peaches & Peppermint (Bonded Dutch Pair)
Mango (gray and white Dutch)
Toffee & Twizzler (mixes)
Giselle (Californian) although Giselle is by far my youngest at heart.
if you insist…
OOOh! AAah! Sarita, is the top left one a Himalayan Rex?
No, that’s Giselle my Californian.
Here’s Emmy my rex. Not a great photo, she’s prettier in real life.
I forgot the Californians have the same markings as the Himies.
Your rabbits are all big except for the Dutch.
Where did you get them?
ohhh monkeybun! buttons would be the perfect husbun for monkey…she’s the excepition! buttons talks about her everyday. he thinks shes quite sexy lol. monkey is the one..and only…exception! give her im sorry hugs for me!
(((im sorry monkey)))
oh and heres your pics! i never hesitated w/ bunny pics lol!
i know everyones seen this alot but its one of my favs!
Yes, my rabbits aren’t tiny.
Maxine, Toffee, Twizzler came from the Dallas Animal Shelter
Giselle, Mango, Peaches, Peppermint and Pepe were strays
Emmy came from some lady who rescued her from some situation that I cannot really remember
They were all from a small fostering rescue that I helped start that is no longer in business and they were basically the unadopted so they are now mine.
oo oo oo! *Jumps up in seat and waves arm around* A lilac Holland Lop (because I am head over heels for this breed) A double gene Lionhead that’s perhaps all grey (he’d be my “Dust Bunny” hehe) A blue eyed, white Netherland Dwarf. An all black Rex that looks just like Victoria (I think is what her name is) from the intro board. About 5 or 6 others but I will stop myself… And I think you’ve all seen pictures but…
I lovvvve these pictures of my boys (Add to my list that I want a Holland Lop in every color!)
I can see it now, Buttons is his black and white tux and Monkey with her shiny black fur… If we didn’t have to worry about abandoned bunnies, their babies would be adorable O.o
I’m not sure about breeds, other than I KNOW I will have a rex at some point. Other member’s buns… I’ll take BB’s Jack (my, he’s a popular boy… there’s just something irresistible about him!), K&K’s Chuck, jnc’s Chubs and… darn, I can’t remember who has the pretty little girl Cotton, but I’m taking her, too!
Somebody wants Chubs!
Chubs and comet are too adorable. I’ll take em both
Hehe- they are cute! Everybun is so cute! I forgot to mention Fluffy by name though for buns I’d steal. I loves me some lops!
Oh and I would take Monkey any day- although I’m not sure Chubs would tolerate a diva in his space. Haha. I can hear the thumps now!
