The Palomino is a beautiful breed of pet rabbit. There is the dusty fawn color called Lynx, but we raise just the Golden variety. The ideal gold color is "wheat." We have dark, medium, and light Golden colors. But type, or body conformation, is always the first consideration.
Palominos are a commercial meat breed. They have a smaller bone structure than other meat breeds, so you get a higher ratio of meat on the carcass. Bucks grow up to 8-10 pounds, and the does up to 9-11 pounds. Palominos take longer to mature, but it is worth the wait when you have a great rabbit. They are very gentle rabbits even though they are too big to hold all the time.

Palominos are paired for breeding depending on the results wanted:
1.Show Pals are bred for " big rears."; The shoulders grow last, but will be in proportion to the rest of the body.
2. Meat pen Pals are bred specifically for big shoulders because this is the last feature to develop on a Pal. Once they reach 4-6 months of age, they generally cannot compete as SHOW entries. By Show, or Breed Standard, they will be too wide in the shoulders without a gentle slope out toward the hindquarters.
