The Dutch is a breed of rabbit, characterized by its unique markings. According to The Field Guide to Rabbits by Samantha Johnson (St. Paul, MN: Voyageur Press, 2008), the breed dates back to the early 1800s and originated in Holland. They are relatively small in size, with a typical adult weight of 3 1/2 to 5 pounds. The Dutch has a solid colored body with white markings on the neck and feet and a blaze on the face. The body can be one of several colors: black, blue, chocolate, gray, steel, or tortoise. Because of their small size and generally calm temperament, the Dutch rabbit is a popular pet. They are also a popular show rabbit, especially for breeders who enjoy the challenge of trying to produce a perfectly marked rabbit. At shows, the Dutch rabbit is judged primarily on its markings.

∙ 9y agoA Dutch rabbit's life cycle is the same as other rabbits. The rabbit is born tiny and hairless, and is cared for by its mother until it can take care of itself. Once it is ready to be on its own, a rabbit matures rapidly and soon begins breeding the next generation, when the cycle begins again.
