What breed is this rabbit

[taraann81]

It seems once people found out I raise rabbit I have become the inadvertent rabbit rescue in my area. Most times I have to tell people no, as I don't have the space or resources to house many more than I have now plus the quarantine part of it is really inconvenient...but I help when I can

Anyways I took this rabbit in. A family had him in a tiny hutch and he is a BIG rabbit..I'll have to break out the scales tomorrow!

They didn't know his breed, I have a guess what he might be but wanted other opinions.
Thanks.

The pics don't do justice to his actual size.

With out knowing the weight...it is hard to guess. If he's around 12 lbs, i might guess a Palomino. Other guess might be Flemish, if he is more than that, but the ear carriage is different.

Pretty rabbit !

Could be a Creme D'Argent. I had a few does that pushed 12 #

Flemish or flemish mix is my opinion.

Inquiring minds want to know..... What was your guess..?? I really am curious. ( ie: nosey)

My guess would be a Fawn Flemish. I have a good friend that breeds them and he look a lot like one of her bucks.

Depending on the weight (cause its hard to tell in the pictures) im guessing that its a palamino or a flemish. Doesnt look like a cream to me.

Doesn't look like a Creme, no obvious silvering. Like everyone else said, either Flemish or Palomino!

Wow, what a moose. Looks like my Am Chin bucks in type - certainly a meaty boy.

If he's purebred, I can definitely see him being a Golden Palomino. Yes, I know they're rare but that really is what he looks like. I see no Flemish in him based on type. He also looks like he could loose a pound or so.
