My bunny's ears aren't lopping. Should a mixed lop have dropped ears?

Question

I got my bunny from a reliable petshop and I was told he's a lop. His ears, however, never lopped so I'm not so sure right now. (Idc if he's not a pure breed. I only chose a lop bc of their longer lifespan.) So could he be a mixed lop? Are mixed lops expected to have lopped ears? ps. one of his ears lopped for about a week or so after he was on a road trip for 3hours. So I guess this only happens when he's stressed or in shock?

This bunny is quite cute but does not look like any lop eared rabbits I have met. Even the shape of the face looks slightly different as many of the lops tend to have a shorter, more blunted nose/rounder face. It is possible the bunny could have a mix of several breeds, so it is possible there could be some lop in there. Regardless, he looks like a cutie and hopefully he will make a good pet for you!
