Different breeds of Rabbits usually can make or break an adoption. Many people want a specific breed of rabbit, because they believe that they have a certain type of personality. Many people believe this about dogs and cats as well. Take lops for example-most people think lops are gentle and kind compared to other rabbits because they have a more demure look about them, but this is far from the truth. Depending on breeds for personality is usually a faulty way of adopting a rabbit. The truth is that lops are just like their straight eared siblings in terms of behavior and personality. What is true about certain breeds of rabbit like Californian’s and Himalayan’s is that they are more sensitive to touch than other rabbits and often do not like to be petted as much as other rabbits. The areas of sensitivity is the bridge between their nose and head where most rabbits love to be touched. Most breeds don’t like their butts scratched, it makes them run away from the person petting them. They usually prefer the head area for petting but once again this depends largely on the rabbit and less on the breed.There are rabbit breeds that have more hair than other normal looking rabbits and usually this draws adopters further in. Lionheads and Angoras are the common types of rabbit with fluffy appearances or hair around their heads that can make them look very different from a normal rabbit. Lionhead’s are thought to have spunky personalities but once again it depends on that rabbits’ unique personality more than anything else. Certain breeds tend to be quite large in size or very small in size. Flemmish giants are the largest breed of rabbit compared to the dwarf which is the smallest breed. It is harder to get the bigger rabbits adopted than the dwarves because many adopters like small things. The truth is that dwarf’s need more room to run around than larger rabbits, and that giant rabbits can be timid or very sweet in personality most of the time.
