Im getting rabbits and im trying to find a lionhead rabbit or a netherland dwarf rabbit but i cant seem to find them anywhere in winnipeg. Does anyone know any breeders that are selling them? or any sites?
You can contact the ARBA and ask. There are some members that live in Canada and also belong to The American Rabbit Breeder's Assoc.
A word of advice about both of those breeds. They sometimes (alot of the time) have aggression behaviors that some people will find hard to deal with. They do not make good pets for children. When they reach sexual maturity they can bite, growl, jump on you and scratch you. The females especially get like this as they are very protective mothers. Even if you never breed them they will becoame aggressive, especially cage aggressive. If you plan on altering them you will need to do it before they reach 6 months to avoid this behavior.
Good luck finding your pets.

Try your local animal shelter or rabbit rescue facility I am sure they have both available. You will be saving an otherwise unwanted one.

Just try the internet.
If you type in something like, Lionhead rabbits for sale in Winnipeg, etc.
Also in petfinder they make your search a lot easier.
Good luck finding one.

petfinder.com or your local shelter. Pet store rabbits are often highly undersocialized and sometimes not very healthy.
Beware though… rabbits are not "easy" pets like hamsters or rats. Rabbits require as much care as a dog or cat. They should not be kept in outside hutches. They need large cages (larger than anything available in pet stores as "rabbit cages", in my opinion). Mine lives in a converted dog kennel (about 3'x4', bi-level) and has free roam of my kitchen and dining room whenever I'm home.
Check out http://www.rabbit.org before deciding on a rabbit. They are great pets for the right situation… but know what you're getting into.
