Oreo
This is one animal I hadn't planned, or even thought of, purchasing. I was originally looking
for an English Angora, and I came across an add for Oreo. She was probably the cutest
rabbit I had ever seen. There is some information on Lionhead Rabbits below the pictures.

One of the newest breed of domesticated rabbits. It has particularly long hair surrounding the face,
reminiscent of the mane of a male lion, hence the name. Other characteristic traits of the lionhead
include a rounded head and small size, usually between 2.5 and 3.5 pounds. It also tends to have
slightly shorter ears than most breeds.
The Lionhead rabbit originated in Belgium. It is reported to have been produced by breeders trying to
breed a long coated dwarf rabbit by crossing a miniature Swiss Fox and a Belgian dwarf. The Lionhead
seemed to have been more popular than the long coated dwarf, and so breeders carried on this trend
in breeding them intentionally, and so came what we know today as the Lionhead rabbit.
The Lionhead has a Cobby well rounded body, head bold with well developed muzzle. Their legs are of
medium length and not too fine in bone. Their ears do not exceed 3 inches in length. Their mane is
between 2-3 inches in length to form a full circle around the head, extending to a 'V' at the back of the
neck falling into a fringe between the ears. Noticeably longer hair on the cheeks and chest. The coat is
dense and of medium length, roll back and even all over body in Adults.
