does anyone know the breed name for a large rabbit ,the size of a small jack russell.myparents have just lost there one but they  didnt know what breed it was it was a lovely cream colour with markings like a siamese cat.it had floppy ears and was huge...

Don't know anything about rabbit's but could it have been a French Lop? Or have I made that up? If you do a search via Google you will find lots of sites.They can weigh up to 4.5kg, that's a big bunny:-)

Hi,

I used to have Californian whites which were either white or cream body with black,bown or grey points on ears,nose ,tail and paws but they had pink eyes.

oh god it is on the tip of my tongue when i think of it i will let you know ..........

Flemish Giant ?? they are huge but not sure if they have lop ears.  The biggest lop earred I believe is a french lop we used to have one, it would growl like a  dog and mount the cat, it escaped constantly and lived in a series of burrows under the lawn - and next doors vegetable patch unfortunately the dog got the better of her one day, but she put up a damn good fight :(

The giant french lop comes in alot of colours but does come in Amber or cream/dun with dark shadings.The Flemish isnt a  lop colours rabbit grey/steel grey/ black/white/argente.  The english lop has huge ears and lots of colours,  was this rabbit a pedigree or a cross.

Just read the bit about the markings.  That colouring is called seal point or himalayan depending on the breed of the rabbit.  Could have been a cross.

Actually Seal Point and Himalayan are 2 separate colours. Himalayan is coloured points with a white body whilst Seal Point is a dark chocolate point on a creamy body!
