The British Giant can grow up to 7 kg and often rivals a small dog in size.
[1] The British Giant arose as a separate breed in the United Kingdom in the 1940s and was bred from Flemish Giant stock of varying colours from the United States.
Thus the British Giant was bred for a greater variety in colouring and although smaller than continental Flemish rabbits, retain broadly the same characteristics.
The British Giant is virtually unknown outside the United Kingdom, where it is a recognised breed.
Its fur is medium length, dense and soft and comes in a variety of colours including white, sable, opal, grey, blue and black.
