  Now I was told she is a lionhead from the fur fluff around her neck but I was wondering what are the possibilities for my rabbit’s parents to be.
  
  It is because her fur pattern seems to be unique and was wondering what others might have something like it. After doing some searching, it might be a Rhinelander? The spotted brown stripe is not complete to he head like:

  She has a mix of black/brown around her eyes, that little black pattern above her nose with a brown spotted stripe down her lower back/butt. Has a pure white (short pom pom tail)
  
  So maybe one parent was some kind of lionead with the other being a Rhinelander? Is there other rabbit breeds that can have patters like that/ this?

  That pattern is very common and found in many different breeds. So a lot of mixed bunnies can have that pattern. Definitely lionhead mix of some sort though. =)

  Sorry about that, I was about to report that I might of put it in the wrong section because I tend to post in the behavior section a lot.
  
  Really the pattern is common? When I was looking up rabbits before I saw her I didn’t find any ><

  Yep, the pattern is called “broken” and it simply means that there is a white base with color on the ears, face, and back. The amount of white will vary from a little to a lot. I believe it is a dominant gene, so that makes it pretty common.

  My Teddy Bear Lionhead has the same stripe down her back! (It’s the same color too!)

  The color can be any color a rabbit comes in. Brown and black are most common though. What is “recognized” for different breeds is going to vary.
