Belgian Hare

Belgian Hare

The Belgian Hare is a remarkable breed of rabbit known for its unique, hare-like appearance and lively demeanor. Originally developed in Europe during the late 19th century through selective breeding, it possesses a distinctly sleek and elegant physique that resembles that of a wild hare. This breed is characterized by its long, slender body, powerful hind legs, and an arched back that gives it a graceful and athletic silhouette. The Belgian Hare's rich, reddish-tan coat is smooth and glossy, often described as having a fiery mahogany hue, which accentuates its regal appearance.

This breed is not only visually striking but is also known for its spirited and energetic nature. Belgian Hares are highly intelligent and curious, requiring ample mental and physical stimulation, making them excellent companions for owners who can dedicate time to engaging with them. Due to their active disposition, they thrive best in environments where they have plenty of space to explore and exercise. Despite their dynamic personality, Belgian Hares are also gentle and can be quite affectionate with regular socialization and handling.

Typically weighing between 6 to 9 pounds, Belgian Hares are particularly admired for their striking resemblance to their wild counterparts, making them a favorite among show enthusiasts and rabbit fanciers. Whether kept as a pet or for exhibition, the Belgian Hare stands out for its unique blend of beauty, agility, and vivacity.
