We bought this bunny today. It was at Rural King and the people there really didn't know much about them. One of the ears is marked with a black dot, but I don't know what that signifies. I think it is a Lionhead, but I am not sure. Any help would be appreciated.
It looks like a Lionhead, yes. The mane doesn't look very thick on that one (granted, it's quite young), and I don't see any of the wooly side trimmings that are pretty typical of the double-maned Lionheads (the ones that got two copies of the mane gene). I'm thinking that it probably is a single-maned Lionhead; an animal with one copy of the mane gene, and one of the normal coat gene. If that's the case, it may lose a lot of the mane as it matures; some SM Lionheads have just a few wisps of longer hair on their heads and ears as adults.
I'm guessing that the dot in the ear was just the breeder's way of marking the animals that they were intending to sell; it has no "official" significance.
