please help!! what colour is my bunny??

[Tinkerbell Rabbitry]

What about a red polish? Polish are very similar to Nethies but they're a little bit bigger. Here's a link to a picture of a polish: http://www.freewebs.com/maplendpolish/100_0546.JPG
This may help some with the ring size. I do understand why she has a reason for puting a ring on him. In the US we tattoo our rabbits in one of their ears so we can show them, but almost all breeders tattoo the pets they sell too, this helps us keep track of what they sold to who and when.

btw she's a very cute rabbit.

It would have to be an American Polish. You might be on to something...

 

[Tinkerbell Rabbitry]

Thanks. I thought polish as soon as I saw the pictures.

 

[Sabine]

I just checked in the BRC book of Standards and it appears that the American Polish is not listed as a recognized breed (unless it goes by another name) our Polish is what I believe is called Britannia Petite in the US?

 

[Sabine]

P.S. That might also explain why the rabbit has a ring that does not seem to match any of the breeds listed for it.

 

[Tinkerbell Rabbitry]

Possibly.

 

[Tinkerbell Rabbitry]

This is gonna sound really stupid but what does BRC stand for?

 

[Sabine]

British Rabbit Council. The equivalent of ARBA. I believe

I think you all might be on to something!

 

[Tinkerbell Rabbitry]

That's what I thought. According to th BRC, Polish are a recognized breed. I was looking at the standard on their website. Yep, it is the equivalent of ARBA.

 

[brenflan]

she is 1.7kg which would make her over the standard weight but maybe the american polish is slightly bigger!

I believe our polish's max weight is three and a half pounds. So for the US standard she wouldn't be too big. Your polish are equivalent to out Britania Petits. What breeds use ring size B?

 

[Sabine]

The rabbit we describe as Polish is not like the American Polish at all. It is the same as the Britannia Petite I believe.

 

[brenflan]

In the BRC breed standards Agente Creme, Dutch, Himilayan, Mini Rex, Tan and Tri-Colour Dutch use the ring size 'B'.

 

[Sabine]

Argente Creme, Dutch, Himalayan, Mini Rex, Tan, Tri-colour Dutch have ring B. Polish (Britannia Petite) have ring A. Netherland Dwarfs have x

I keep posting at the same time
