So, I'm on the petplan website getting a quote, and I don't know her breed. Hasn't that just scuppered my plans!
For some reason the vets have her down as a dwarf lop... I think they got confused since that was what little Nelly quite possibly was.

Info:
She is now 6 months old and weighs 2.05kg. Permanently sticky up ears. Really soft coat.

So here are some (useless phone) photos in the hope someone will be able to help!

Her next to little Nelly when they were approx 8 weeks old.

Luna is the same type of colour and when I had a look at insurance stuff to see how much it'd be I think I put it down as mix breed, there was also the option of Harlequin, but it's hard to tell what she is really here's a Harlequin

She's probably a mix breed though, which I'm pretty sure Luna is

Great link, thank you! She applies to quite a bit of that description but it's hard to tell if she is pure harlequin for sure. She is most probably a cross so will stick with that to be safe.

Unfortunately Katie, the drop down choices don't offer gorgeous, what silly silly people!

The thing with Harlequins is that through cross breeding, a lot of buns can have Harlequin colors, but aren't actually a Harlequin rabbit breed, as here...

Yep I know! It's so confusing, I think if Luna could she'd pretend she was Harelquin just so she could boast about being an actual breed as oppose to a mix breed Laughing

Tigger would do the exact same thing!
Ah how confusing, applies to some characteristics but not all. They just don't want to be found out do they haha.

I've seen these before and found them so beautiful but never knew the actual name.

Haha awww it did make him a very beautiful bun though!! When I first got Luna I looked up all the different harley colours but I've never seen the magpie one in real life. Just similar colours to Luna. I think I read somewhere breeders of this normally aim for the colours to be opposites on either side so the rabbit looks much like this 'Your rabbits details... breed' Umm Images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTm8_IWsIIykZ61JVR1vZJep4aUtHwocmPG9HnNN8Hecu8QMdzv&t=1

Ahh he has SUCH a scrummy looking face. I too like the black band/stripe round his belly and side Smile...and his black muzzle

Here's Luna, looking a bit more baby like as it was when we got her ^_^..Which I realise now was in feb last year. Wow how time flies!!

Her face has a sort of pattern to it, but then her body is just a merge of everything all over the place >_<

Aww Luna has an orange stripe down her nose like Tigger! And different coloured ears. Same family tree somewhere ^ ^
I love it all over the place. Tigger has stripes and blotches all down her back too.
