 THE CALIFORNIAN RABBIT Why I breed and love the Californian rabbit. By Al Roland 1) Appearance: The Californian rabbit is more than just a white rabbit, it’s sepia points makes it stand out and it’s conformation is equaled by very few breeds.
2) Versatility: The Californian is not only one of the best show rabbits, it is one of the best meat rabbits due to it’s firm flesh and fine bone. (*See meat to bone ratio on page 51, second paragraph in the book, Rabbit Production). You will find feed conversion of the Californian rabbit to be at the top of the list. I find the Californian to be among the best mothers not only raising her own but raising fostered kits. Californians have a good nature and make excellent pets. 3) Showing: Because of their outstanding appearance, confirmation and nature, the Californian has become one of the worlds finest show rabbits, always attracting attention no matter were they are being shown. Of all clubs I have belonged to, I find the associates in National Californian Club and the Mid-Atlantic Californian Club to be the finest, they are sociable, selfless, cooperative and always ready to help each other including new members, both open and youth. 4) Stamina: The Californian withstands diseases and hardships better that most other breeds, due to select and controlled breading over the years. 5) Demand: A good Californian is in great demand and brings a high dollar due to their beauty, versatility, stamina and show qualities.
