My top 10 Rabbit Breeds

With the release of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle later this month I thought it would be a nice time to share 10 of my favorite Rabbit Breeds.

#10



American:

Weight: 9 - 12 pounds.
Body Type: Slate blue or white. This rabbit has well-rounded hindquarters, narrow shoulders, and long erect ears.

The American breed is pretty much your standard Rabbit that you likely saw in the wild at least once.

#9



Checkered Giant:

Weight: 12 + pounds.
Body Type: White with spots of black or blue on the nose, check, back, and hindquarters. It has a racy type body with an arch to the back. The head is relatively large; ears long and erect.
Special Care: Some rabbit owners claim this breed takes extra care becuase the racier body is more prone to injury and the large size makes handling difficult. Not for a first-time rabbit owners.

I liked how the Checkered Giant breed looks like a cow and it's a good type of rabbit to have as a pet if you have lots of experience taking care of them.

#8



California:
Weight: 8 - 10 1/2 pounds.
Body Type: White with black ears, nose, feet, and tail. Full-bodied with medium-length upright ears.

The California breed has those devil like eyes and it's white design is pretty nice.

#7



Standerd Chinchilla:

Weight: 5 - 7 pounds.
Body Type: Compact chuby-looking body of medium length. Ears long and upright. Each hair of fur has three bands of different colors; blue at the base, pearl in the middle, and black at the top.

The Chinchilla breed has a nice mix of colors and it looks a bit different then the regular rabbit you might see.

#6



Dutch:

(Good Choice for Pets)
Weight: 3 3/12 - 5 1/2 pounds.
Body Type: Compactly built rabbits with well rounded hindquarters. There is a blaze of white on the face, and the front feet, upper torso, and toes to mid-foot of the hind feet are also white. The rest of the body is white, blue, black, chocolate, tortoise, steel or gray. Ears are genetally large and upright.
Special Care: This breed usually does well with childern.

The Dutch breed has a nice mix of colors and it's good for households with little kids.

#5



Harlequin:

Weight: 7 to 9 1/2 pounds.
Body Type: This striking rabbit originated in France. Th body is banded with two colors, and the head is also two colors. It has a medium-length body with rounded hindquarters, a rounded head, and long, upright ears.

The Harlequin breed is a nice looking rabbit and it really does look like a cat I used to have.

#4



Lionhead:

Weight: 3 - 3 3/4 pounds.
Body Type: This breed originated in Belgium but has been developed in England. Body is well-rounded. Fur on body is dense and of medium length fur two to three inches long froms a mane around rabbits with both lopped and upright ears are being developed at the time of this writing but only one or the other is likely to be accepted by professional breeders associations.

The lion head really does give that lion like vibe based on it's looks.

#3

American fuzzy lop:
• Weight: 3 to 4 pounds.
  
  
• Body Type: These small rabbits have a large, flatted "bulldog" face and lopped ears, and look somewhat like a Holland Lop with long fur. They have been bred in many different colors.
  
  
• Special Care: This is a wool breed and will require extensive daily grooming and a special diet.
  
  

The American Fuzzy Lop has a Bulldog like face and it's long fur is also pretty nice.

#2

Rex:
• Weight: 7 1/2 to 10 1/2 pounds. 
  
  
• Body Type: Medium-sized, well-rounded body with large erect ears. COats is as with Mini Rex looking and feeling like plush velvet.
  
  

I really like the color of the mini rex and it has a cool name as while.

#1

Tan:
• Weight: 4 - 6 pounds.
  
  
• Body Type: Belly, chest, flanks, inner part of front and hind legs, trigngle at nape of neck and underside of tail are tan. The rest of the fur is solid black, blue, chocolate, or lilac-colored. Body is narrow and thin, medium long and racy looking. Ears are large and upright.
  
  

The Tan is my favorite rabbit do to it's nice mix of colors and due to the fact that I had one back in the day.
