Couple of options. First you may want to go online and check breed specifications of certain dwarf breeds of rabbits and try to match up with yours. Secondly, you could contact your local veterinarian or exotic clinic and have your pet rabbit examined for breed type. There may also be rabbit breeders in and around your area that have additional expertise in breeds of rabbits that might help you better identify your rabbit's specific breed. Hope this helps.
