She isn't a rex. Best way to find out if she's a rex cross is to breed her to a rex. The rex coat is recessive, so if she's carrying the gene and you cross her to a rex, you'll have rex-coated kits. If she doesn't have any rex in her, her kits will all be normal coated like she it.

Afraid not. There are so many breeds out there...She looks a little like this complete mutt I have, but her gene pool is so diverse it would be hard to pinpoint. I do know she's got some NZ and Cali in her, but you wouldn't know it to look at her!
Here's a rex just to have an idea of what the coat looks like, and here's the doe I was talking about.

I have 5 mini rex and 1 rex-cross.

My cross looks like yours SA. My local rabbit leaders thought it was a cross betweeen Rex (body) and Mini Lop (fur), but I don't see any lop in her so lately I've been thinking Rex/Cal cross. She was 7 1/2 pounds when I got her (she's a rescue) and is now over 8 1/2 so I think she was bred for meat.

I've got 4 rabbits so far. 3 standard rex and 1 mini rex. I'll post pictures soon. Just bred on 2/6, hopeful she'll kindle a pretty litter.
