Answer 1

Lionheads are beautiful rabbits but need a lot of grooming, especially around there faces and not all will like that. So be prepared for a lot of brushing and bathing. but i'd say they are one of the nicer breeds of rabbits!

Answer 2

i think having a new breed will fun finding about what a Lionhead rabbit likes and then maybe you can cross Dutch rabbit and lionhead rabbits to see what they look like and if you don't like them take the rabbits to the nearest pet shop or sell them.

Answer 3

lion heads are nice thats my advise

Answer 4

They're kina cute.  Personally, I'd rather wait till they are recognized by the ARBA.  I don't have the room for a breed that is still in the works and there aren't that many being shown in my area.  

If you'd enjoy showing them and there are others in your area, that are bringing them to shows, you might like them.  I'd hate it if I was the only one bringing them.  

In the pet market, they are a novelty and don't sell as well as they used to.

Things to think about.

Answer 5

grooming is the main thing

do you have time to brush these rabbits daily? If not the are going to end up a mess. i dont have Lionheads because the are not a recognized breed but I have Jersey Wooleys and they take alot of grooming

Answer 6

You should get A Lionhead rabbit =]

Answer 7

as long as you use good batteries lion heads will give lots  of pleasure

Answer 8

Well if you do get one please remind yourself that they are different than Dutch Rabbits so they have different habits (no pun intended) try to learn what the lionhead rabbit likes, the food he eats, and things that will make him comfortable. Try getting a book about lionhead or go to a site like wikipedia it could really help and i hope this helps.
