New Zealand
The New Zealand rabbit is a versatile and robust breed, celebrated for its substantial size and gentle temperament. Despite its name, this breed originated in the United States around the early 1900s, primarily developed for meat and fur production. It has since become a favored choice in both agricultural settings and as a household pet due to its amiable nature and adaptability. Characteristically, New Zealand rabbits exhibit a well-rounded, muscular body with dense fur that can come in a variety of colors, including white, red, and black, though the white is most commonly associated with the breed. Renowned for their rapid growth and high reproduction rates, these rabbits are highly valued in commercial settings, and their calm disposition makes them a delight for families and rabbit enthusiasts. In addition to their practical uses, New Zealand rabbits flourish in shows, winning hearts with their docile personalities and impressive, powerful frames. Whether valued for their economic contributions or as affectionate companions, New Zealand rabbits continue to capture attention and admiration worldwide.
