Californian

The real Californian

The real breed comes from California. Bred in California in the 1920s by crossing Himalayans, Chinchillas and New Zealand Whites, as a meat and fur rabbit. White with dark points, like a large Himalayan.

What the standard asks for

• not a dwarf
• upright ears
• a normal coat
• Himalayan points
• size at least 50 on the game's 0 to 100 scale

A rabbit that meets every point counts as a Californian; among breeds it meets, the game counts it as the one whose standard it meets on the most points.

What the judge looks at

Once a rabbit meets the standard, the judge scores how close it is to the breed's ideal. Every point away costs it.

• size: 72 on the game's 0 to 100 scale
• ear droop: 0 on the game's 0 to 100 scale
• ear length: 55 on the game's 0 to 100 scale
