Dutch Rabbits
The Dutch rabbit is one of the oldest domesticated rabbit breeds dating back to the 1800s. Despite their name, the Dutch breed originated in the United Kingdom rather than the Netherlands. This specific breed was first used for food purposes, but quicky gained popularity by their unique markings. With that being said, Dutch rabbits became one of the most wanted breeds and was exported all over the world!
