| About the Silver: |
The Silver is a rare breed of rabbit with striking looks, unique temperaments, and a proud history. It is a small breed, with showroom weights of 4-7 pounds for seniors, 6 pounds being ideal. A four-class breed, silvers are recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Association, Inc, in three varieities: Black, Brown, and Fawn. Black provides the greatest contrast to the silvering. The fawn color beautifully combines silver and gold. The brown is a handsome chestnut. Silvers are of medium length and bone. The topline should rise from the base of the ears to the center of the hips before falling in a smooth curve to the tail. A silver head should balance with the upright-carried ears and the body. A dewlap is a disqualification in silvers. Silvers have very short, snappy flyback coats. However the most important feature of silvers is the silvering.
