Silver Fox

The Silver CountryMarket price about 170 carrots

A big black rabbit frosted silver, with a coat that stands up when stroked the wrong way. Calm as a cathedral.

The real Silver Fox

The real breed comes from the United States. Developed in the United States in the 1920s. Its long silvered coat stays standing when stroked backwards, like a fox's fur.

What the standard asks for

  • not a dwarf
  • upright ears
  • a normal coat
  • no mane
  • a solid coat
  • a coat in the self family
  • the colour Black
  • size at least 68 on the game's 0 to 100 scale
  • silvering (the Silver Country's gene)

A rabbit that meets every point counts as a Silver Fox; 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: 80 on the game's 0 to 100 scale
  • ear droop: 0 on the game's 0 to 100 scale
  • ear length: 70 on the game's 0 to 100 scale
