Checkered Giant

Free gameMarket price about 140 carrots

A huge white rabbit with a butterfly nose and a spine of black spots. Needs a big pen and a bigger sense of humour.

The real Checkered Giant

The real breed comes from Germany and France. Bred in Germany and France from big spotted rabbits and Flemish Giants. A large, arched rabbit with a butterfly mark, eye circles and spots along each side.

What the standard asks for

  • not a dwarf
  • upright ears
  • a normal coat
  • no mane
  • broken (spotted) markings
  • size at least 75 on the game's 0 to 100 scale

A rabbit that meets every point counts as a Checkered Giant; 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: 90 on the game's 0 to 100 scale
  • ear droop: 0 on the game's 0 to 100 scale
  • ear length: 78 on the game's 0 to 100 scale
