A starter breedMarket price about 60 carrots

Spotted, zoomy and athletic. A chain of spots down the spine, a butterfly on the nose.

The real English Spot

The real breed comes from England. Developed in England in the 1800s. It has a butterfly mark on the nose, rings round the eyes, and a chain of spots running along each side.

What the standard asks for

  • not a dwarf
  • upright ears
  • a normal coat
  • no mane
  • broken (spotted) markings
  • size at most 60

A rabbit that meets every point counts as a English Spot; 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.
