What breed would he be?

Answer
well if you did not heve a typo and your rabbit weighed 18 lbs before and now only weighs 9 lbs he is very sick.  if he was 8 then and now 9 OK the pic looks like a Cross breed rabbit the agouti gene is very dominant and comes up in a lot of crossbreeds, probably cross between a flemish giant and a new zealand or cinnamin or brown silver. check out this web site and you can see more pics. www.ARBA.net
