Silver Grey

The Silver CountryMarket price about 140 carrots

The little English silver: a black rabbit no bigger than a cat, ticked white all over. Small, quick, and very pleased with itself.

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 most 47
  • silvering (the Silver Country's gene)

A rabbit that meets every point counts as a Silver Grey; 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: 40 on the game's 0 to 100 scale
  • ear droop: 0 on the game's 0 to 100 scale
  • ear length: 50 on the game's 0 to 100 scale
