When George West started to develop the Californian rabbit, he wanted to produce a rabbit with "excellent" flesh and a dense, appealing coat.
The Californian rabbit was created after many years of selective breeding and very few different cross-breedings.
Despite the fact that these rabbits are usually utilized for meat or for exhibition, many people choose to keep them as companions because of their kind demeanor.
