Most females have dewlaps, some males do also.

The dewlap is more prominent on female rabbits than male rabbits; it's also prominent in some breeds than others; it's also more prominent when the rabbit is overweight.

A dewlap in male show rabbits is a disqualification.

Yes, all rabbits have dewlaps, even males, although it's generally more pronounced in females, and it's more pronounced in some breeds over others. Female lionheads generally do not have the most pronounced dewlap unless they're overweight.

The Lionhead breed of pet rabbits don't tend to have very big dewlaps, no.

All rabbits have dewlaps, but some are bigger than others.

Generally speaking, females have bigger dewlaps than males. Overweight rabbits of both sexes and all breeds tend to have bigger dewlaps, too. Some breeds tend to have bigger dewlaps than others; Lionheads generally have small dewlaps.
