Thanks everyone for your input and responses.

Yep, truly believe our little Rescue is a Siamese Sable Netherland Dwarf.

When you say broody, more for breeding than show? Just curious. Only "broody" term I've heard was with chickens.

It does have a bit of a Polish look. Sia sable isn't recognized in Polish, but it does appear in some lines. That's such striking color on him!!!

Brood means more for breeding then show, they are also referred to as BUDs (big ugly does) and BUBs (big ugly bucks.) And he could also be purebred, NDs can come with the long ears, longer face, and bigger in body type. He looks purebred to me, just got the BUB gene.

Here is a great example of a broody Dwarf. This girl is 100% purebred, but as you can see she has the really long ears, and that snippy looking face. At 3 months she already hit over 2 pounds. I never kept her around to see how she matured, since I don't need any more broody does.

Thanks Heartlandrabbitry for your explanation of a Broody. Wow, even your broodies are gorgeous. :)

He looks a little older form the picture, unless he was just going through a molt. I would guess a little over a year old.
He was going through a molt at that time. And we do believe he's a little over a year. Thanks for the input and Welcome to the forum.

He is beautiful, love his coloring!
Thanks Sunshyne276. Welcome to the Forum. His coloring has really changed since this time. He was molting. But have to say, I do love his coloring too.

Reminds me of my Cinnamon rabbit I had, FooFoo. Same color, same size. Looks just the same. I'll see if I can find a picture of her.
