Lionhead rabbits are the newest breed of bunnies out there, and it has been a long time since we have seen a new breed. Lionhead rabbits first appeared in Belgium in the 1990's. They were a mix of the Swiss Fox and Belgian Dwarf. The breeding created a genetic mutaion that is the mane gene. After that, they mixed in some Jersey Woolly. No wonder they are so cute. The mane gene, which gives Lionheads their distinctive Lionhead look and thus their name, is a dominant gene, so it only requires one parent to have it to get bunnies with it. Lionhead rabbits are so interesting with their different manes and variety of colors. One of the best things about breeding Lionhead rabbits is, when getting a young Lionhead, you won't know what your pet will look like until it grows up! There is no absolute certainty that it will keep its mane. The mane may molt and disappear for good or it may grow back even fuller than it was before. They have only been in the United States since 1999, when they were introduced by Joann Statler. In February 2002 Lionhead rabbits were first recognized in the erect ear version by the British rabbit council.
