The odds of getting a decent lion head at a pet shop are between slim and none. Unfortunately, here are a whole lot of mixed breeds that stores pass off as lion heads. Even breeders sometimes wind up getting sold less than high quality stock.
There is a good lion head site at http://lionheadrabbit.net/ which is put up by one of the people influential in getting the breed on the path toward recognition by the ARBA
