Britannia Petite

Britannia Petite

A REW Britannia petite Weight: 2.5 lb. or less ARBA-accepted varieties: Black, Black Otter, Chestnut, Sable Marten, Ruby-Eyed White Known as "Polish" in Britain, this breed was renamed in the United States as there already existed an ARBA-recognized Polish rabbit in the U.S. at the time of the Britannia's import to the States. The Britannia Petite is thought to have been derived from small wild rabbits and is known for sometimes having a wild temperament; because of this they are often found unsuitable for pets. However, when handled properly these rabbits can be calm. "The Britannia Petite is and will continue to be one of the oldest breeds in the world. They are truly one of the most unique rabbits in the Standard of Perfection, which are known for their very distinctive poses. They are also quite animated animals that love to show off for anyone willing to watch. They instinctively adore to be alert and in charge. From jet black to the unique sable marten; from the striking otter to the brilliant chestnut and even the polished white; all five colors offer an experience like no other."
