Lilac

The Lilac rabbit is a delightful and charming breed known for its uniquely beautiful coat and gentle disposition. This medium-sized breed typically weighs between 6.5 to 8 pounds and is renowned for its distinct, soft fur, which boasts a captivating lavender-blue hue that gives the breed its name. The Lilac rabbit has a well-rounded and harmonious body shape, with a slightly arched back, full hindquarters, and a broad, short head adorned with large, expressive eyes. Its erect ears complement the symmetrical features, adding to its appealing appearance.

Bred for both show and companionship, the Lilac rabbit is highly valued for its affectionate nature and calm temperament, making it a fantastic choice for families and rabbit enthusiasts. They are intelligent and social animals, thriving on human interaction and regular handling. Regular grooming is recommended to maintain their lustrous coat, which is relatively low-maintenance compared to other breeds.

Originating in the early 20th century in Britain, the Lilac rabbit came about through the crossbreeding of Blue Imperials, Havana rabbits, and Blue Beverens, combining traits to produce its distinctive coloration and form. This breed is not only a beloved pet but also enjoys recognition in competitive shows due to its striking appearance and balanced proportions. A well-cared-for Lilac rabbit can live up to 8-12 years, providing joy and companionship to their owners for many years.
