RE: Have you every heard of a lionhead rabbit?
I have seen the Lion-head rabbits before; but it was only at the local fair. I do think that they are very unique; but any that I saw advertised for sale were pretty expensive, at least compared to a plain little rabbit.
One rabbit that I really love is the Angora Rabbit. They have to be brushed all of the time, like a Persian cat or a long-haired dog does.
I thought that they sheared Angoras similar to what they do with a sheep, but they do not do that at all.
The angora hair is used to knit angora hats, scarves, or sweaters with, and the hair goes right from the rabbit to the spinning wheel . Angora rabbits have a very gentle disposition, and have been bred to have that for many years.
The person will sit and hold the rabbit in their lap and pull out the hair (which easily comes out) and feed itinto the spinning wheel. Once the long hair is off of the rabbit; then they are put away and the spinner moves on to the next rabbit.
It is amazing how patiently these rabbits will sit in a person's lap while the long hair is put into the spinning wheel.
