it's a cross breed. His father was a new zealand mother was a crossed meat breed rabbit of unknown back ground for sure (I raised rabbits for sale and for meat)
The story about how he became a pet is sorta funny since as I said I raised them for meat. His mother kicked a couple babies out of the nest for some reason. If you touch the babies the mother will kill them so we left them thinking maybe she was still actually feeding them. Well my wife had suggested bring both of them in but it was decided that they must be getting food until one of them died so I brought in the other. We got a doll bottle, and since we raised sheep used some lamb formula and bottle fed him. problem was he wouldn't stay still so wife put him into a sock and he woudl burrow all the way to the bottom turn around and come back out until his head stuck out at which she would hold him and feed him.
Well once he got big enough to wean neither one of us had the heart to put the cute little sucker back out with the other ones so he just stayed in the house.

well that story just turned me into a sissy.
why couldn't it be "this was a bullet eatin bunny that saved us from a horde of commies"?
i wouldn't feel like such a pansy for liking your rabbit

'Buddy' most certainly does Carl! 
Most shelters around here are to capacity with pets due to evictions and foreclosures.
Unfortunately that usually means when a stray or abused animal is picked up by the ACO some other one with the most 'tenure' must be cycled through....
