The French Lop Rabbit Breed

The French Lop rabbit breed is an amazing breed of rabbit for nearly any living situation. These rabbits are extremely loving and affectionate, and are guaranteed to win your heart over. To learn more, continue on with this post.

The History Behind the French Lop Rabbit Breed:

It is believed that the French Lop rabbit breed came to be from an English Lop and a French Butterfly rabbit, which resulted in the French Lop rabbit breed. This rabbit breed, the French Lop, was used for meat industry purposes, but now, rabbits aren’t really used for meat, at least where I live.

The French Lop was first bred is 1850, which is when the meat industry was really going for his rabbit breed. The neighboring countries, such as Belgium, Netherlands, and Germany were starting to favor this rabbit breed too. It was reported that 10 French Lops were brought from the Netherlands to the United Kingdom. It took 27 years for these rabbits to become popular in the UK. It took until 1970-1971 for these rabbits to come on over to the United States.

Common Characteristics Found in French Lops:

French Lops are very similar to Flemish Giants, but with a shorter body, and heavier. French Lops have short front legs, and back legs that should lay parallel to the rabbit’s body. Their ears average the length of 5 to 8 inches long, usually a bit below their jaw. They also have a large head, and the most adorable and chubby cheeks.

The coat to this rabbit is very dense, silky, and soft. This fur isn’t quite long enough to be spun into any sort of wool, but it does have the texture to it. As for the certified colors, French Lops have the certified colors of white, brown, blue, black, opal, fawn, chinchilla, steel, along with siamese. These colors are both accepted in solid and broken.

Personalities Commonly Found in French Lops:

The French Lop rabbit breed is well known to be very affectionate and connected to their owners, which also ties in with how gentle this rabbit breed is. These rabbits are very playful and lively, just to tie in with how sweet these rabbits are.

With this, French Lops are great for nearly any living situation, assuming the family known the basics of proper rabbit care. These rabbits are great for free roaming, families with older children, as singles, even though rabbits are best in pairs, with a couple, and with a singular owner. They also do great as apartment free-roamers, and in large bunny-proofed rooms.

Sizing and Weight:

The size of this rabbit is considered to be a giant rabbit breed. This is very considerable due to the size comparison, considering the fact that Flemish giants are lighter than these rabbits, despite the fact that these rabbits are shorter, and overall, just barely smaller than Flemish Giants.

As for the weight, the average weight of a healthy French Lop is anywhere from 10 to 15 pounds, which like I said, is heavier than a Flemish Giant. This is quite heavy for a rabbit, but is very easily displayed through this rabbit breed’s bigger features. This rabbit breed is especially known for its adorable chubby cheeks.

Common Medical Problems:

French Lops aren’t affected by any particular illnesses through their bloodline and genetics, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t susceptible to nearly any sickness out there for rabbits. Make sure to look out for signs of illnesses in rabbits, no matter how often they seem to get sick, look for signs any time you go to see your rabbit for a while.

Extra Care:

This rabbit breed isn’t in any need for any necessary extra care, but that doesn’t mean that this rabbit breed’s size will slow them down. Because of this overbearing weight that this rabbit breed has to lug around, these rabbits, like all others, need plenty of support and padding for their hocks.

The French Angora Rabbit Breed

The French Angora is an amazing pet rabbit option, like many other rabbit breeds are. This breed stands out from many other rabbit breeds, not only because of its looks, but its personality as well. French Angoras are a great option for a pet, so why not learn more about this awesome rabbit breed?

The History Behind the French Angora Rabbit Breed:

The history behind this rabbit and its breed is quite simple, actually. The French Angora is said to be the most similar rabbit to the original Angora, from Ankara, or Angora, Turkey. The first Angora to set a paw on American land was said to be around 1723, brought over from France.

This original Angora rabbit was known to be an “Angora Wooler”. At this time, the four different types of Angora rabbits didn’t exist quite yet, they were all known to be one large breed. It took until 1944 for the ARBA, American Rabbit Breeder’s Association, to split these rabbits into different breeds. This is where the French, Satin, English, and Giant Angora came along. At this point in time, the French Angora is still runner up as the second most popular Angora rabbit breed, the English Angora taking first.

The Common Characteristics of French Angoras:

French Angoras are owners of decently large bodies, along with plenty of muscle, which is hidden by all of their fluff. The French Angora’s coat is very long and coarse, causing the undercoat to be considered under-wool, and allowing many to agree that they grow wool, rather than fur.

The coat of this rabbit is considered wool, and this wool is known to cover the rabbit’s entire body, except for the rabbit’s face. The maintenance that will be needed to keep the rabbit’s coat well-maintained is necessary, not only for looks, but for the internal health of the rabbit.

The accepted colors and patterns for this rabbit include the following:

  • Pointed White Angoras: pure white with markings on the rabbit’s nose, tail, feet, and ears.
  • The “Self Group”: blue/ruby eyed rabbits (white coat), black, blue, chocolate, and lilac are the other colors to this group.
  • The “Agouti” colored Angoras: chestnut, chocolate agouti, copper, lynx, and opal.
  • The “Chinchilla” coloring: plain chinchilla, chocolate chin, lilac chin, and squirrel chin.
  • Along with this, there are also more color groups, these being the shaded, ticked, and wide band color groups, which all have specific colors that fall under these categories. These different categories can be looked over on the website I used, which is cited below.

Common Personalities Found in French Angoras:

French Angoras are extremely docile and sweet. These rabbits would work great for those willing to take more time on one rabbit, which would pertain to grooming, and maintaining its coat. This rabbit is amazing with nearly everybody, but seems to work better with older children for the families out there. These rabbits are extremely calm when they feel the need to, so don’t be surprised to see this rabbit splayed out and relaxed as ever, strongly enough to say, many agree that there is a 100 percent guarantee that they are just having a lazy day, as long as there haven’t been any signs for GI stasis.

Like mentioned before, these rabbits work great with nearly any rabbit owner in any situation, so for those out there with a family with younger children, I would consider looking into a different breed, or figuring out how well the rabbit does with your children ahead of time.

Sizing and Weight:

The size of this rabbit breed is considered to be large, which really shouldn’t be all that surprising for those who consider the muscle mass on this rabbit breed, it’s astounding. This rabbit is very muscular despite the looks of the rabbit, mostly because the fur/wool of this rabbit covers up what could be considered its “true identity”.

The average weight for a healthy French Angora should be anywhere from 7 and a half pounds, to ten pounds, which is quite a bit of weight for the size of the rabbit, yet again, it’s that muscle mass. This rabbit breed is very unpredictable when it all comes down to the estimated measurements, so many people would assume that this rabbit breed is very large, rounded, and stocky, but it really isn’t, it’s just the fur/wool that throws us off.

Common Medical Problems Found in This Breed:

Because of the unbelievably long fur that this rabbit breed can grow, woodblock is a very common illness that can easily overtake the rabbit. Woodblock is when a rabbit ingests too much fur from grooming itself, which blocks up and congests the GI track of the rabbit, so in other words, woodblock is almost another, not so serious version of GI stasis. The difference is that woodblock still allows the GI track to function, when GI stasis doesn’t.

Extra Care:

The only extra care that should be addressed specifically for this rabbit breed would be the excessive grooming that will be necessary to keep this rabbit healthy. To prevent woodblock and matting, this rabbit should be groomed every day, once a week being the very minimum amount in a time span.

The Florida White Rabbit Breed

The Florida White rabbit breed is a very self explanatory breed, and is much more recognizable, and popular after realizing that this rabbit breed happens to be popular, and very multi purpose, but not exactly anymore. These rabbits are much more known now for their color and body, but not exactly by their name. The reasoning of this is spoken about below.

The History Behind the Florida White Rabbit Breed:

The history of this rabbit is very simple compared to most rabbit breeds. There was a man by the name of Orville Miliken, that happened to be a rabbit judge for what was common at this time, rabbit shows. What he was really looking for was to form a breed that would be all purpose, which meant the rabbit would have to reach the standards for meat, fur, shows, and to be a fantastic pet.

The most interesting reason why Miliken wanted to create this new breed, was for testing, yeah, this guy’s new creation, was made to be a test subject, WHAT? The reasoning is quite simplistic though. New Zealands had been used as test subjects for the longest time, but the laboratory workers really wanted to see a much smaller rabbit for a change, which is where Miliken decided that he would make a smaller rabbit for this testing. This is why the Florida White came along.

The name choice was extremely simple. Miliken desperately wanted to name the rabbit after where he came from, Florida, but because this rabbit was so distinctively known for its color, he decided to include that too. This is how the Florida White rabbit breed came along and into our arms, with its very self-explanatory name.

The Common Characteristics of Florida Whites:

For this rabbit breed’s overall posture, looks, and muscular build, sometimes this rabbit can look a little odd from different angles. This rabbit breed has quite the rounded body with stubbier front legs, and very large back legs. The back legs (hindquarters) of these rabbits are extremely muscular, and large, for their size and overall body shape. Because their hindquarters are so large, this particular rabbit breed is known to have more slender looking shoulders, and large, wide, hindquarters.

These rabbits’ heads are a decent size for their body, and fit quite well, considering how odd these rabbit’s bodies can look. This rabbit breed’s head should be well rounded, a bit on the smaller side, but still fitting, with a more pointed muzzle and large ears to top it all off. The rabbit’s ears are meant to be on the smaller side, despite the fact that they look very large compared to the rabbit, most likely because its head looks a bit too small at times. These rabbit’s ears are known to fall to one side at times, so don’t worry when there’s a Florida White with partially lopped ears, it’s actually quite common.

Moving to this rabbit’s coat of fur, the fur is meant to be on the much shorter side, with a soft and partially silky texture. These rabbits don’t exactly shed all that much because of their short fur, which can become a large factor when considering when and which rabbit will be welcomed into your household.

To go along, but sort of against this rabbit’s color, white, these rabbits are known to have a red, or sometimes, pink hue to their eye color. This doesn’t make them an albino, but they definitely have similar characteristics to what would be an albino rabbit.

Common Personalities Found in Florida Whites:

Overall, this rabbit is extremely sweet, and for those out there who haven’t met one of these rabbits, they are very docile, and work great for nearly anybody in nearly every situation. The most common personality that truly shines in this rabbit breed is how amazingly docile this rabbit breed is, despite how lazy or active the rabbit is on that specific day.

These rabbits work great for families of nearly any situation, for single men and women, for those living in an apartment or house, or if the owner happens to be trying out a new lifestyle with a different pet. This rabbit breed is genuinely amazing for practically anybody, and for others to see that, would be amazing, especially for those who don’t feel that rabbits are truthfully amazing pets.

Sizing and Weight:

This rabbit breed happens to fall under the small and mini rabbit size category. This category happens to be the section to the most petite rabbits, whether their overall size is just ridiculously tiny or if the weight is unbearable, in a light manner.

Speaking of weight, the average weight for a healthy Florida White rabbit is anywhere from 4 to 6 pounds, which is a decently light rabbit. The weight of this rabbit can be best compared to a Dutch, or a Satin breed rabbit. A Dutch rabbit would be towards the lighter side of the weight range, while Satin rabbits would be closer to the median point.

Common Medical Problems Found in This Breed:

There aren’t any medical problems that are extremely well known, or even genetically carried for this particular breed. Even though this breed isn’t well know to be susceptible to any specific illnesses or overall medical predicaments, this rabbit breed, like all others, can obviously still become extremely ill without proper care and dieting.

Extra Care:

This breed doesn’t have any extra care to consider, at least when this breed is compared  to other rabbit breeds. Because this rabbit breed isn’t particularly known to be needy, still keeping a close eye is key, just because it is hard to pay intense attention when you really don’t feel that you have to all that often.

The Flemish Giant Rabbit Breed

The Flemish Giant rabbit breed is one of the most popular rabbit breeds by far, but from my experience, not many people out there really know the details behind this large breed. Despite the rabbit’s popularity, not many choose to own this rabbit, but why? If you’d like to look into adopting a Flemish Giant for yourself, or for a friend of yours, follow along to learn the basics of the Flemish Giant rabbit breed.

The History Behind the Flemish Giant Rabbit Breed:

The true history behind the origin of this rabbit breed still remains a mystery. Some researchers have come to believe that Flemish Giants originated from the Patagonian, or Stone rabbits, some may say both. Along with this confusion, other researchers have come to a conclusion that these giants originated from the Argentinian Patagonian rabbit.

As for the facts that are proven and reliable, we do have proof that these rabbits originated in the countries of Belgium and England. These rabbits were then transported to America in the 1890’s, to then be recognized frequently in livestock shows around the early 1900’s. The National Federation of Flemish Giant Rabbit Breeders, or the NFFGRB, came along in the year of 1915, the ARBA came into existence in 1924, for reference.

Because the National Federation of Flemish Giant Rabbit Breeders helped out the ARBA, they were taken in, to then become part of the American Rabbit Breeders Association. The Flemish Giant rabbit breed was then established as a true and recognizable breed in 1929, by the acceptance of the ARBA.

The Common Characteristics of Flemish Giants:

As for the overall appearance of this rabbit, Flemish Giants are known to have large and muscular bodies, along with a long, slender build. These rabbits definitely won’t look slender, but when you really think about it, they are very slender looking compared to their weight.

Flemish Giants’ ears are meant to be erect and quite long, the average length being about 5 inches from the base of the ear, to the tip. The rabbit’s head is just big enough to be fitting for the rabbit’s size. By the way, when I mention the Flemish Giants size and weight later in the post, please realize that when I say that they are particularly light for their length, it’s because the longest Flemish was 4 feet and 4 inches long, but only 49 pounds, which may seem heavy, but for that length, not really.

The coat of this rabbit breed tends to be short, dense, and slick. These rabbits’ coats aren’t all that hard to maintain, then main factor is the amount that needs to be maintained. The certified colors for the Flemish Giant rabbit breed are: sandy, fawn, light grey, steel grey, black, and blue (which is more of a grayish color with a tint of blue).

The American Rabbit Breeders Associations doesn’t certify “broken” colored Flemish Giants, also recognized as Flemish Giants with more than one color incorporated in their coat. In other words, to be a certified Flemish by ARBA standards, you must be one solid color, which has to be one of the six certified colors.

Common Personalities Found in Flemish Giants:

Flemish Giants, like many larger rabbits, are very well known to be energetic in a  manageable way, and excruciatingly sweet, it’s insane. These rabbits are also very docile, which helps maintain the rabbit’s energy level, along with everything the rabbit has to lug around, its entire body.

These rabbits are amazing for anybody. Most giant breeds are only necessarily meant to be owned by very experienced rabbit owners, but these rabbits are so incredibly docile and sweet, that they work for any lifestyle.

*Despite how amazing these rabbits really are, if you don’t know that you have the money to spend on a rabbit, don’t try adopting a rabbit. The moment someone adopts a rabbit and can’t take care of it, they feed the rabbit improperly, and will usually re-home the rabbit with improper care, or just place them back in the adoption center, if not, on the side of a road. Even though rabbits carry many natural instincts and behaviors, that doesn’t mean they can survive in the wild. If wild rabbits struggle with living and thriving, how will a rabbit with no experience living out in the wild manage a life, surrounded by predators?

Sizing and Weight:

The overall sizing for this rabbit breed is no surprise. Flemish Giants, are indeed, giant sized rabbits. Flemish Giants are known to be extremely long, despite how much smaller they look when they just stand in place. Since giant is the largest sizing for a rabbit, this also means that they can be quite heavy, which I will go over next.

The weight for a healthy Flemish Giant averages anywhere from 9 to 14 pounds. Despite the lengths these rabbits can easily reach, Flemish Giants really aren’t all that heavy. By no means is this a light, small rabbit, but they are particularly light for their length.

*Please do realize that mixed breeds can vary the average weight of this rabbit breed. A pure bred Flemish Giant could weigh up to 22 pounds, and still have a healthy life, it really just has to do with the rabbit’s build. Also keep in mind that the longest rabbit in the world is a Flemish Giant named Darius, that weighs 49 pounds, just for reference. So please, consult with a vet if you are concerned for your rabbit’s health.

Common Medical Problems Found in This Breed:

There aren’t any true illnesses that are very widespread throughout Flemish Giants, but the main problem that I would look out for with such a large rabbit would be sore hocks. With the extra weight that this rabbit breed has to carry, more and more weight is being compressed onto the rabbit’s hind legs, which can easily resort to sore hocks.

Extra Care:

All I have to mention for extra care is the extra work needed during grooming sessions, and the space to be cleaned up after. Because these rabbits are so incredibly large, they need and incredibly large enclosure, whether this is an entire room to free range in, or the entire house, either way, cooping this rabbit breed up, or any rabbit breed up, is a horrible idea.

Please remember that finding rabbit products that work for this breed will most likely be a struggle. If I were to look for rabbit products for a Flemish Giant, I would go straight to the dog section, honestly, they weigh as much, if not more, than most dogs, and are longer than practically any dog laying completely flat.

The English Spot Rabbit Breed

Despite the fact that this is one of the oldest breeds of rabbits, I feel like this breed isn’t really mentioned all that much. I personally, never knew that this was a breed, but now that I think about it, I’ve seen multiple rabbits like this. To catch you up on what you may, or may not have known about this breed, I will be going over the basics of this breed, including the history, size, personality, and more!

The History Behind the English Spot Rabbit Breed:

Like I have mentioned, this happens to be one of the oldest rabbit breeds, dating back to the mid 19th century, or the mid 1800’s. The reasoning behind this breed was simple, this breed was meant to be bred for show purposes, like many other rabbits. The main thing was that rabbit shows weren’t really known or important at this time, the rabbit meat industry was though.

There are thoughts that the English Spot had originated from the Giant Papillon, but others could argue that the English Spot came from the English Butterfly, also known as the Checkered Giant.

During the year of 1910, the English Spot was transported to North America, but 14 years, later, the American Rabbit Breeders’ Association recognized this rabbit to be a true breed. It was the year of 1924, not 1922, that the English Spot rabbit breed was accepted, I checked on the ARBA’s website because the site, Petguide, that I use said 12 years later, when it was saying a range from 1910 to 1924, it was a typo.

Because the ARBA, the American Rabbit Breeders’ Association, accepted the English Spot as a rabbit breed, the American English Spot Rabbit Club was established, the same year that the ARBA accepted the breed.

The Common Characteristics of English Spots:

The English Spot rabbit is pretty straight forward. The ears are very pointed and vertical, and the back is very arched, but in a smooth and rounded manner. The legs of this rabbit are very short by looks, but in reality, their legs are long, just like how all rabbit’s legs are longer than they look.

The English Spot’s name is quite revealing. The body of the rabbit is covered in spots, how surprising, I know. The English Spot’s fur with be pretty dense, short, and smooth. When this rabbit sheds, there really won’t be too much to look for. Even though this rabbit doesn’t shed all that much fur, they still need regular grooming during this time. With this being said, shedding isn’t bad for this breed. You will still see fur everywhere, but not giant clumps sticking to every inch of furniture and clothing like you would with a different rabbit breed, instead, you may notice: Clumps of fur in corners, Thin fur on your clothing, etc., but nothing to the extent of other rabbit breeds.

There are multiple different colors that are official and accepted by the ARBA, like most, if not all rabbit breeds. The colors for the English Spot breed include: Black, blue, chocolate, gold, and tortoise for the the accepted colors of English Spots. The markings of this breed are pretty distinctive as well. These markings include: Nose Markings: Butterfly, Eyes: Circles, Cheeks: Spots, Ears: Colored, Back: “Herringbone”,  and the Body: Chains of Spots.

Common Personalities Found in English Spots:

English Spot rabbits are very energetic, but in a controllable manner. They are great with affection and do amazing with practically anyone, even with young children. These rabbits are know to have a different, almost special personality. These aren’t your typical rabbits, yet they still are. They have this little spark in them that you won’t find in any other rabbit, in my opinion, all rabbits have their little spark, but for this breed, it’s prominent. Despite their unique personality, that could vary from rabbit to rabbit, and breed to breed. These rabbits are amazing for almost anybody in any situation, as long as the rabbit’s owner is able to manage the expenses, and they know the proper care.

Sizing and Weight:

The sizing of this rabbit isn’t all that special, which kind of makes this rabbit breed special. English Spot rabbits are considered medium sized rabbits, which are great sizes for families that enjoy owning rabbits, the rabbit isn’t too large, or too small. I personally feel that if you are going to have a rabbit and you have a family with small children, a medium sized rabbit breed should be considered first and foremost.

The average weight of a healthy English Spot should be anywhere from 5 to 8 pounds. This, like many other medium sized rabbits, is a very sustainable and easy weight to deal with, making this rabbit great for families. I’ve mentioned this before, but I believe that a medium sized rabbit with a medium weight is just the best for families, and really anyone.

This may be biased because both rabbits I own are considered medium sized rabbits, and weigh less, or in the weight range of this rabbit breed (English Spot). They are amazing bunnies and they did amazing with my two and seven year old step-nieces. If you ever want extra advice on finding the right rabbit for you, leave a comment below, or dm me on Instagram, which will be listed below.

Common Medical Problems Found in This Breed:

There aren’t any common medical problems that are very well known for this breed. Even though there many be some illnesses found throughout almost all rabbits contained in this breed, that doesn’t mean that it isn’t the same for another breed. This being said again, medium sized rabbits aren’t known to struggle with common medical problems from my research, knowledge, and experience with them.

Extra Care:

This breed doesn’t contain any extra care, but that doesn’t mean that they are “low maintenance” animals like Petguide says. Just because a rabbit breed doesn’t need extra care, doesn’t mean that they are “low maintenance.” If you want a low maintenance animal, get a betta fish, not a rabbit.
