Dutch
History
Dutch rabbits, along with the English, used to be the most popular pet and
exhibition rabbits a position that has now been taken by the
Lop breeds. Originally from Holland or Belgium, the breed is striking in
its appearance with a white blaze carrying up to a point between the
ears, a saddle of colour continuing right around the middle of the
rabbit with a straight edge and white markings on the hind feet. Their
coat should be glossy and they are a medium size rabbit weighing roughly
2.04-2.26kg (4.5 - 5lb).
Behaviour
Dutch rabbits are very lively and alert and should make good pets
although a potential buyer should be looking for a breeder that
handles the rabbits regularly from a young age so that the rabbit is not
too nervous.
