I would like to tell you about Beveren rabbits. The Beveren rabbit is a rare breed. They are well tempered, clean, and smart. Beverens are full of energy, and love to explore the outdoors. They are recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Association in three different colors, Black, Blue, and White. The coat should be dense and glossy with a gentle rollback fur type. Fur length is rather long having an average of 1¼ to 1½ inches. Sometimes this large breed has a pronounced mandolin shape with mature bucks at 8 to 11 pounds and does at 10 to 12 pounds. Their litters are large, the young grow fairly fast, and the does are typically docile and make good mothers. (Wikipedia)


Comparatively speaking, the Beveren standard as printed in the ARBA "Standard of Perfection" remains very much the same in type and structure as that originally developed long ago. However, one major difference is that the ARBA only recognizes black, blue, and blue-eyed varieties in the American Beveren. Also, our British counterparts place a great emphasis on color and coat quality unlike other countries, including the United States, who award twice the percentage the British award for type, which remains for coat and color is consequently less.

However, due to the limited number of Beverens in the United States, many American fanciers have begun importing stock from Britain to alleviate some of the problems associated with constant in-breeding. Therefore, breeders are hopeful that the Beveren will continue to gain popularity in the United States and continue its development. Do you know any info about Beveren rabbits?

Night of Drinking. Joke about rabbit

A man and his pet rabbit walk into a bar. It's about 5pm, but they're ready for a good night of drinking. 
They start off slowly, watching TV, drinking beer, eating peanuts. As the night goes on they move to mixed drinks, and then shooters, one after the other. 
Finally, the bartender says: "Last call." 
So, the man says, "One more for me... and one more for my rabbit." The bartender sets them up and they shoot them back. Suddenly, the rabbit falls over dead. 
The man throws some money on the bar, puts on his coat and starts to leave. 
The bartender, yells: "Hey buddy, you can't just leave that lyin' there."
To which the man replies: "That's not a lion, that's a rabbit." 

Breeds of rabbits. Belgian Hare.

The Belgian Hare is a most decorative breed for hare with meat. TBH (The Belgian Hare) is one of the older rabbits breeds in North America (USA, Canada). Dating back to the end of 19 century. At the now Belgian Hare is a very rarer breeds. TBH is considered threatened (according to the Russian Rabbits Community and American Livestock Breed Conservancy).

Size of rabbits: 9,5 lbs
Color: brown

The Belgian Hare has a short coat and if kept clean, requires little grooming other than an occasional rub over to remove any dead coat. When in moult the coat benefits from a good combing through every other day to remove the old coat. This will help bring the new coat through faster and minimize the old fluffy undercoat matting up when it's on its way out. Wikipedia

TBH have a very specific body therefore they are popular among fans of rabbits. The Belgian Hare is most known for its distinctively close resemblance to a hare, with a long, fine body with muscular flank, and distinctly arched back with loins and well-rounded hind quarters.

Breeds of rabbits. American Sable.

Hi everybody! How are you? I hope, you are well. Today i tell you about very interesting rabbits, that Amrican Sable. Maybe you ask: "Why Amrican rabbits? Why American Sable? Why American Chinshilla? Is there no other countries?". I answer, that i write an articles about breeds of rabbits in alphabetical order. OK, American Sable. We are started.

 American Sable

Rabbit size: weight of 10 pounds
Color: Hmmm... White-gray...No... White-brown...No... What is this color?!))

American Sable - very interesting rabbit

The American Sable is very beautiful and useful. This breed have a commercial body and suitable for cultivation for sale. This breed don't very popular but they are not in the process of extinction. There are people who care for them. Any blotchiness of shading –which can be easily caused by sunburn or molt — is a fault. A perfectly colored Sable is difficult to produce. A white toenail is also cause for disqualification.  The eyes must possess a ruby glow to avoid disqualification on the show table.  
The color sable is now found in many rabbit breeds, but it first appeared in litters of American Chinchillas or Standard in the 1920 years. Breeders started developing these shaded bunnies and they were accepted into the standard in 1931 years. Ohio remains one of the strongholds of the American Sable today.The darkest period in the breed’s history was in the early eighties, when it would have probably been dropped from the ARBA standard if not for the dedicated effort of an Ohio breeder, Al Roerdanz.  
Today this is all. Friends! Please send a comments!((

American Fuzzy Lop Rabbit Information and History

AFL every day gaining more popularity among the people. Especially for women! Of course, 4 pounds of joy on your couch! These rabbits - dwarfs, with little body and head. The legs are short and thick. Imagine a man. It's horrible looks, right? Now imagine this rabbit. Lovely, beautiful and charming. Why is it so - no one knows the man we need to accept the fact and buy our women American Fuzzy Lop Rabbit. The small size, inquisitive personality, and easy-care coat makes the AFL suitable for a pet, 4-H project, or show animal.
Nature of American Fuzzy Lop reminds me American rabbits. Too calm, quiet and not very active. I think the AFL - decorative rabbits, they should not be propagated to slaughter for meat or wool.
