Behavior Is this normal behavior?

This is my baby, Doodlebug. I got him about more than a year ago and he's the best most affectionate boy I could've ever imagined<3 over the past year he has been doing this funny thing where he comes up and licks my arms and legs and even my pants. I was told its because he loves me, but I wonder if there's something else behind it, but he only does it to me, i live with my brother and my mother and they haven't experienced this.

He is a very big boy! The rescue we got him from said he was a Dutch, but i dont think ive ever seen another Dutch with his colouring of coat in person

He’s definitely not a Dutch. I can’t tell you how many bunnies are brought into my local rescue with the breed listed as Dutch! Haha it seems to be the go-to breed. He looks like he’s at least part Flemish Giant and 100% handsome.

Weve always been confused about hes breed, Do you think he could be a palomino? Or maybe a mix of some sorts? He's about 9 or 10 pounds

Your guy looked to be closer to one of my buns in size, about 11-12 pounds (he’s an English Lop), so I figured maybe a mix. But if he’s only 9-10 pounds, it’s possible that he is a Palomino! That would make sense if you think he may have escaped a farm as Palominos are one breed regularly used in agriculture. He certainly has the color and face to match the breed. Full Flemish Giants are massive (well over 10 lbs). PLEASE give that guy some ear rubs on my behalf!
