General Description
A well rounded, thick set, meaty medium length body, with a deep, full
and well rounded hindquarter. The top line is to rise slightly from the
neck to the hindquarter with side tapering the same. The eye bands a
thin, lustrous, deep black band around each eye and are the only marking
on the rabbit and should be at least 1/16 of a inch but not more than
1/8 inch.
Bred for its meat, fur and as a show animal, the Blanc d'Hotot is truly
an all-purpose rabbit! Requiring regular and careful grooming to keep
its white coat spotlessly glowing, the Hotot is a spectacular rabbit
with a striking appearance when cared for correctly! This docile rabbit
makes a perfectly adorable friend!
The Blanc de Hotot Rabbit is a larger breed, weighing seven and a half
to ten pounds. It grows to between eight and ten inches in length, and
is stocky. Blanc de Hotot Rabbits have been described as having a "squarish"
appearance. The line of the Hotot Rabbit's body rises from the neck to
the hindquarters. The bodies also taper on the sides. With their
striking coats, there is no mistaking the breed when viewing a Hotot
Rabbit; no other pet rabbit has such a sparkling white coat with thin-rimmed
black spectacles and black eyelashes! The spectacle circles should be
between a sixteenth and an eighth of an inch thick. Blanc d'Hotot
Rabbits carry their ears tautly in a "V"shape and have bright brown
eyes. In show, Blanc de Hotot Rabbits are a six-class breed!
