I was looking at the lovely buns on my local rspca website this morning.

http://www.rspcacornwall.org.uk/animals/rabbits/rabbits.html

It seems to me they should leave off any mention of breeds in their descriptions as they are not entirely right. Should I contact them and say something? I mean Harley and Jason there are quite clearly not english - where are their spots? I would guess at rex-x and New Zealand-x.

I myself am an English Spot/Lionhead cross and I don't have spots Hmmm Mrs Doyle was the same cross and she didn't have spots either Hmmm

However, all of our offspring do Suspect

Whilst I take your point Father Jack - I think they are using English in the same way as they use domestic. I look at their site regularly so I know Harley and Jason have been bonded at the centre and did not come from the same place. I just think it would be more honest to potential adopters if they were listed as cross-breeds parentage uncertain. If the new owners insured the buns and registered them as English it could cause a whole heap of problems when trying to make a claim.

I'm not too sure. I can understand why they would want to put the breeds to give an idea of size, but I think they look a bit more rex-ish too.

Did you see Snoopy's ears? Love
