I purchaced a pure mini lop female and a mini rex male, they had complications since i got them and it wasn't known about until it was too late. I wasn't able to save them, both passed away just after giving me 2 kits, 1 male and 1 female.
I am not huge on breeding siblings but i would like to understand genetics in this instance. So my question is, since i got a male and female who both inherited the up ear crown from the father, if i were to breed them together, would they possibly have some kits who have the lop crown or would they be all up eared crowns?

I don't know the genetics of lop ears, but I think there is a good chance of getting some kits with lop ears and some with up ears.

I am basing that on what most often happens when you cross parents with two different traits, then interbreed the offspring.
 
Don't know.
But years ago now, we had a big boy who we were told was the result of a standard lop and a meat rabbit getting together.
"Peeka" was a great big armful of a rabbit, who had one ear up and one ear down. He was the most cuddly big boy ever.
And we are not talking about who sooked their head off when he eventually died of old age.
