Polish

A starter breedMarket price about 55 carrots

Small, sleek and quick, with short ears held tight together. An old Victorian show breed with a magician's habit of vanishing.

The real Polish

The real breed comes from England. Despite the name, bred in England in the 1800s. A small, short-eared, compact rabbit; in America the British Polish is shown as the Britannia Petite.

What the standard asks for

  • not a dwarf
  • upright ears
  • a normal coat
  • no mane
  • a solid coat
  • size at most 25
  • ear length at most 35

A rabbit that meets every point counts as a Polish; 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.

  • ear length: 20 on the game's 0 to 100 scale
