Polish (US)

Sometimes called "The Little Aristocrat", the Polish rabbit is a small bunny - adults should be less than 3.5 pounds in weight. Despite their name, they probably come from England or Germany, and were first imported into the US in 1912.

Their ARBA approved colors are Black, Blue, Chocolate, Blue-eyed White (BEW), Ruby-eyed White (REW) and Broken (white with patches of black, blue or brown). A Lilac variety is in the process of obtaining ARBA recognition.

Ruby-eyed White (REW)	For size comparison
Blue-eyed White (BEW)	Black
Broken Black	Blue
Chocolate	Broken Black

Note - similar breeds are:

Netherland Dwarf - a bit smaller (under 2.5 pounds), with rounder head.
Britannia Petite (called "Polish" in the UK) - colors differ, longer ears?
