Dutch Pet Rabbit Breed

This rabbit is colored similarly fore and aft, with a broad band of white around the front part of its body up to the head. A small-to-medium character with a charming disposition, it comes in a variety of attractive colors. It is no wonder that it has become popular as a pet.

Polish Pet Rabbit Breed

This is the original dwarf rabbit, a small, lean individual weighing no more than 0.9kg. It is the same size as the more common Netherlands Dwarf, but the complete opposite in body shape, having a log, graceful body and a racy, alert appearance. The most usual variety is the red-eyed white, although many other colors exist, such as black, blue, smoke and sable. The fur of the Polish is very short and shiny, as though it has been polished - hence the name (although ‘Polish’ is pronounced as if it was derived from Poland). Unfortunately the Polish has a reputation for being bad tempered and is therefore not a pet for the novice.
