American Sable

The American Sable's fur is a dark sepia brown color on the ears, face, back, legs and upper side of the tail. This shades off to a paler shade of brown on the rest of the body. American Sables have an ideal adult weight of 7-10 pounds. The fur is "rollback" type - if the rabbit is stroked backwards (tail to head), the fur falls back slowly to lie flat.

The American Sable rabbit is a rare breed. According to the Rabbitgeek.com list, based on ARBA registrations, they are no. 10 on the rarest breeds list.
