Silver Fox

The Silver Fox rabbit is a striking and elegant breed known for its distinctive fur reminiscent of the Silver Fox wild animal, from which it derives its name. This American breed was developed in the early 20th century and is prized in both show circles and as a meat and fur rabbit. The Silver Fox stands out with its exceptionally dense and lustrous coat, featuring unique silver-tipped guard hairs that provide a silvery sheen against a deep, rich black or blue base color. Its fur is renowned for its plush texture, similar to that of a real fox, and it has an excellent rollback quality, meaning it slowly returns to its original position when stroked in the opposite direction.

Aside from its remarkable coat, the Silver Fox rabbit is also appreciated for its solid, medium to large build, with bucks typically weighing between 9 to 11 pounds and does slightly larger, reaching up to 12 pounds. This breed is characterized by a gentle and docile temperament, making it a wonderful choice for families and first-time rabbit owners. The Silver Fox is also quite hardy and adaptable, capable of thriving in various environments, which adds to its popularity among enthusiasts. Its rarity, combined with its unique aesthetic and agreeable nature, makes the Silver Fox rabbit a treasured breed for both breeders and those seeking a unique and friendly companion.
