| About the Califorinian: |
In 1923 George West, the creator of the Californian rabbit, began some experiments in cross breeding in order to produce a better all-around Commercial rabbit, with one thing in mind, a rabbit with broad shoulders, meaty back and hips and a good dress out. The Himalayan, the Standard Chinchilla with its excellent meat type and density of fur, crossed, produced a Chin colored half breed buck weighing 6 lbs. which had excellent meat type and fur qualities. This buck was then used on several White New Zealand does and by 1928 there had been produced what is now known as the Californian rabbit. This rabbit was first shown at South Gate, CA., in 1928. In 1939 it was given a working standard and is now recognized as one of our most popular breeds.
