Belgian Hares

Usually chestnut in color, these rabbits have large, lanky bodies.
They have long legs and ears, making them great runners. Belgian Hares

Netherland Dwarf
Netherland Dwarf rabbits are a very small breed of rabbits.
Usually they only weigh about two pounds. They are characterized
by their round heads and short ears. Their ears are usually only about
two inches tall each. The Netherland Dwarf comes in many different colors
and patterns, but most of them don't have spots.

Polish

The Polish rabbit looks somewhat like the Netherland Dwarf. It is very
small, white, and has blue or red eyes. It usually weighs about
two or three pounds. It has "snap back" fur so that if you brush it
from tail to head, the fur "snaps" back.

PICTURE COMING SOON!

Rex rabbits have very short, soft fur. They come in the varieties
of Black, Blue, Lilac, Brown, Chinchilla, Sable, Tan, Himalayan, English
Californian, and Dutch.
