So last week there were no "Q" rabbits of the world so I didn't do a post. I couldn't think of anything else to write...until today but that seems a bit late! Q... questionable rabbits!!! (when people make up breeds like they do in the dog world). But NOT the point of today's post. Today we consider the "R" rabbits of the world. And yes! There are some.
Of the top of my head I can think of the Rhinelander and the Rex. Both of these are larger breed rabbits between 8-11 lbs.
The Rex as you might expect has the "rex" fur. Guard and inner fur length is the same creating a dense, thick coat that feels like velvet. This coat will have a smooth feel to it but will have some resistance to it when pushed against. The Rex was discovered in France in a litter of wild grey rabbits.
The Rhinelander, from Germany, has a white body with butterfly markings over the body. An arched breed that also has a cylindrical shape. The breed club will tell you how the markings should be presented.

what other R breeds are there?
Germany also gave us the Rhone rabbit, a black and white rabbit that is supposed to resemble the paper birch tree. I had to stop and think about that a bit. I wish I had a picture! Oh hold on... Check it out! I saw that picture and thought hmm... looks kinda like a magpie? Sorta like my camden pictured below.
And that's it! The R rabbits of the world, just the three of them.
