LIONHEAD RABBITS
Lionhead Rabbits are an exciting new rabbit!
Even though they are a recognized breed in England,
they are not yet a recognized breed with the
American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA).
Currently both Purebred and Hybrid Lionheads
can be shown at ARBA shows under the
Purposed Working Standard for the breed. They will
have their first official showing with the ARBA in 2004.
The American version of the Lionhead Rabbit will
have erect ears and adults should remain under 3 3/4 pounds to be shown.

These little rabbits have a mane of wool encircling
their head much like a male African Lion. (Both male &
female Lionheads have a mane). Unlike other wool
rabbit breeds, the Lionhead Rabbit has normal fur on
the rest of their bodies. They are very friendly, easy to
train and make excellent pets. Once they reach
adulthood they do not require the extensive grooming
that some of the other wool breeds do.
