? on breed. California or not I think not but...What is she???

I received a very large doe today that was told was a California. BUT.....well you tell me.

She is white with grey black broken spots here and there and brownish eyes.
I have a feeling she is a large mix breed.

Don't California's have red eyes???

Yes, Californian's have red eyes. They have black points though, like a Siamese cat. I agree she is probably a large mix breed. She is pretty though.

Thank you. She is pretty sweet so far. Just got her this afternoon. I had her out of the cage a little bit ago and clipped her front nails as they were WAYYYY long and started curving out. She seems pretty mellow. She let my 12 yo DD pick her up and carry her around.

My plan is to breed her with my large buck(not as large as her though lol) and have meat rabbits. Being a larger breed I think this will work pretty well.

She is use to being a house pet but I am planning to wean her to the outside with our other rabbits. But not till it cools off a bit here. It has been 100+with the humidity. So maybe tomorrow I will take her out for a bit in the morning.

Totally NOT a cali-not even close. head shape is wrong, she doesn't have the colouration, and her ears aren't long enough. I would venture to say she doesn't have any californian blood in her at all.

Might have some English Spot in her... or could be the result of a broken to broken breeding. mebbe......
