They were added to the Livestock Converancy last year, under study. Here is what it says on their page..." Harlequin rabbits were once known as Japanese rabbits, but in fact are French in origin, and were imported to the US in the early 1890s. Although they never achieved great popularity as...

Great article! Thanks for sharing here. Had my first litter of Silvers born last Fall. Interesting breed for sure.

Hi Ivory, Californians are commercial body type, same as NZs. You are confusing Himi with Cali..

The Dutch have really surprised me. I love mine! Great temperaments, good mothers, and a real nice all around rabbit. I am hoping to have a couple I can show this coming year, getting the markings for show has been my issue. My bucks are cuddle bugs, some of the does I find can be a bit more...

Love it! Wonderful work, I am impressed. :D

Another Schipperke fan here! Been wanting to get one for years but another, larger dog seems to come home with me instead. I have owned Belgian for years now. Have had Tervuren, Laekenois and Malinois. Just need a Groenendael next time.. And a friend of mine who competes in Schutzhund ( now...

Sorry to hear about your disappointment with the Harlequins. I think they are such a gorgeous rabbit if the type is there. I prefer them with a more meaty body type. Have you looked into American Sables? They are in that weight range and here in Ontario. I had them about 7 years ago...

We have 6 black Silvers, 3 black and 2 steel Dutch, 4 black and 4 broken black Rex and 2 Rex/harlequin kits, one black, one agouti, in nest boxes currently. Can't believe our harlequin got pregnant, she is about 4 years old and we had tried breeding her in the past with no luck. Hubby put her...

Mary Ann, Are you anywhere near Spencerville? There is a show there in the Fall. last year there were Rex shown, maybe you can pick some up from there. There is also a Kijii ad saying they have Standard Rex, it says weights will be from 5-7 pounds though..and from the photos they look like...

Congrats! I love my Rex so far, super sweet rabbits. To the Michigan people..there are a lot of Rex in that area! And Ohio. Not too much in Canada, especially if you are wanting a nice variety of colours. In Ontario i know of one breeder who shows and another person who is just trying to...

Thanks to you both for the info. I appreciate it.

I am hooked on Rex! Just wondering if there are “easier” colours to work with as far as showing/breeding. Right now I have black and broken black only because that was my only option but I have since found a couple of other breeders and they have some more choices for me. Now I have choices...

Congrats! Nothing as beautiful as a Rex in my eyes..

That is terrible! People should know better then that. Sorry to hear about your does. That sort of thing really makes me concerned about showing..

Thanks! Mary Ann is correct (by the way I LOVE your new pig!)..the little ones are Buff Brahmas, surprised at how well they are laying since we have no extra light or heat set up. The white girl is a Standard light Brahma, the black hen beside her is an Ameraucana and the other 2 are Partridge...
