Dutch rabbit | The Dutch rabbit is the quintessential, classic rabbit. Think short fur, tall and upright ears, with an unmistakable white and black or brown fur pattern. While they’re small, they’re not quite as tiny as a dwarf rabbit. |
Angora rabbit | The Angora rabbit is known for two things: being exceptionally large at five-and-a-half-to-12 pounds, and possessing a wonderfully woolly coat you can lose yourself in. It’s one of the oldest domesticated rabbit breeds. |
Sussex rabbit | Sussex rabbits are cream, golden, brown-coloured teddy bear-like breeds often compared to the rabbit version of a Labrador. They’re an outgoing, friendly, medium-sized breed. |
Rex rabbit | The velvety-furred Rex rabbit is a medium-sized hopper, in that classic, round, rabbit shape. Grooming a Rex is easy, thanks to their unique and short coat. There are many types of Rex rabbit. |
English Lop | The English lop is an early, domestic breed with the droopiest ears of all. |
American Lop | The American lop, also known as the American Fuzzy Lop, is a woolly, long-eared rabbit, like a Holland lop but much fluffier. |
Velveteen Lop | These lop bunnies are short-haired, long-eared, and incredibly sleek. They’re a cross between the English lop and the Rex rabbit. |
