Silver Marten

The real Silver Marten

The real breed comes from the United States. Turned up in the United States in the 1920s in litters of Chinchilla rabbits. A dark coat with silver-white ticking on the sides, chest and around the eyes.

What the standard asks for

• not a dwarf
• upright ears
• a normal coat
• a solid coat
• a coat in the marten family

A rabbit that meets every point counts as a Silver Marten; 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: 45 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
