Polish Rabbit

The Polish Rabbit is a small domestic rabbit breed that is frequently raised by fanciers (as opposed to hobbyists) and frequently displayed in rabbit competitions. The Polish rabbit, despite its name, probably originated in England rather than Poland. The breed known as Polish in the UK is known as Britannia Petite in the US. The Polish breed is not known to exist in the UK.

Polish rabbits are petite and have short ears that touch at the base and the tips. With broad cheeks and expressive eyes, this breed has a small head. The Polish rabbit is frequently mistaken for the Netherland Dwarf due to their similar small size, despite the Polish being somewhat larger and has a different head shape. The two breeds also differ greatly in terms of body types, colors, and coat composition. The acceptable weight range for a Polish rabbit in the US is between 212 and 312 pounds, with 212 pounds being the ideal weight.
