”The Dutch rabbit was developed in England, despite its name implying that it originated in the Netherlands. Rabbits were imported weekly from Ostend, Belgium, for the meat market in England during the 1830s.”

”A breed known as the Petit Brabançon, which originated in Brabant, Flanders, was among these rabbits. In paintings from the fourteenth century, the Petit Brabançon can still be seen. This ancient breed is the genetic ancestor of the Dutch rabbit. The Petit Brabançon exhibited Dutch markings frequently, and breeders in England selected those with uniform patterns, resulting in the breed we know today."

Also,the color gold was added to the American Rabbit Breeders Association in U.K. as a standard of perfection at the convention from 2021.

They are a peaceful and placid species that make excellent pets, particularly for families with children. They don't mind being handled,being also easy to train.
