Lion heads is a new breed of rabbit that have rapidly become popular as a fancy breed. They are said to have originated in Belgium. Breeders were trying to produce a long coated dwarf by crossing a miniature Swiss Fox and a Belgian dwarf and sometimes the Jersey Wooly. The Lionhead (which had basically occurred as a by product or accident of the breeding program) eventually turned out to be more popular than the long coated dwarf, and so breeders carried breeding them intentionally.
It all depends on the breed of the rabbit. Check out the American Rabbit Breeders Association for all 47 breeds they recognize.
