Recognizing Silver beyond a single feature
Knowledge for understanding and preserving Silver.
The National Silver Rabbit Club recognizes Black, Brown and Fawn, with adult weights from four to seven pounds. Its description emphasizes a short, quick-returning coat and silver-white hairs distributed throughout it. Silvering develops with age, so a younger animal is a different kind of teaching example from a mature one. The club's wording helps distinguish this population from other silvered breeds. Keep the actual breed name with every photograph; a shared silvering effect is not sufficient reason to combine Silver, Silver Marten, Silver Fox or the Argenté breeds.
