I need some back up help here, a friend of mine had this rabbit here in the picture for a while and gave her to me. She has proved to be the best one iv had. She's got one of the liveliest personalities iv seen in a rabbit, and she is REALLY loving.
Before I go any farther I need to explain that Iv had no luck with children and my rabbits are my babies. (And their babies my grandchildren ha!). I'm only 20 though and haven't had as much experience as some of y'all sure have. I need to know if "Oreo" is an English spot. I have realized that she may defiantly be, but lately have had my doubts. I don't plan on breeding her cause iv grown so close to her.

I have always dealt with Rex rabbits, but never an English spot. I'm just puzzled and my doubts on her breed are driving me crazy. What do y'all think?

For sure not an English spot. How much does it way?
 
No, no, a thousand times no, that is NOT an English Spot!

Ok, rant over. Sorry to be so over-the-top emphatic, but I've noticed that an awful lot of people seem to think that any rabbit that has a broken pattern that isn't a blanket is an English Spot. THIS is an English Spot (not my picture):


English Spots are slender, svelte rabbits in the 5 to 8 pound range. The broken pattern puts ear color, eye color, a nose marking, and body color (sometimes in the form of spots) on many, many breeds; the row of tiny dots down the rabbit's sides are the most distinctive and definitive feature of the English Spot.

I'm sorry, but your girl looks like a cute little mixed breed - probably part Netherland Dwarf or Holland Lop - to me.
 
I agree. English Spots are slender, and have an upright, arched body shape. A lot of people have been calling any black, broken patterned rabbit and English Spot. Here is mine: (she is not posing correctly in this picture)

 
Ok I wasn't sure. She definitely does have a compact body not a slender body. My assumption was that she may be mixed and have a tad bit of English spot in her. Obviously not but mixed bunnies make amazing pets.

I also have a Rex Doe she's about to have babies any day now.

She's due tonight BUT she has not started nesting yet. I'm getting worried this is her 6th litter and she's always right on time. *sigh* I just don't know.
