English

English rabbits weigh 6- 8 lbs (2.3- 3.6 kg), making them medium- sized.
They are friendly and lively and have an inquisitive nature.
There are five colours - black, blue, tortoiseshell, chocolate and grey.

The markings include a butterfly- shaped mark on the nose, coloured ears, eye circles, spine marking (which is herring- boned) and a spot on each cheek and a chain of spots along the body.  It has been said that  the perfect English rabbit has yet to be born!

The English rabbit has unusual genetics, so that if you breed two spotted rabbits together, you will also get selfs (solid black, blue, tortoiseshell, chocolate or grey all over) and charlies (white with coloured head markings, a stripe down the back and very few spots).
Although selfs and charlies cannot be shown, they still make very good pets of course
