The 'Goat-rabbit'

In 1990, we rediscovered at a neighbour's a rabbit which we knew well because in the 1960s it was widespread in our area known as the 'goat-rabbit.' We have never seen it since then. When shown at exhibitions, not many farmers recognised it, but they all called it by the same name.

Unknown by the S.C.A.F. ('the French Central Agricultural Society'), but geneticlly traceable, all we had to do was present the evidence : we were lucky to find, on a farm, an authentic group of rabbits which were greatly appreciated for their amazing colour and which were worthy of the official breed name - and only 1 kilometre from our own 'Ferme Conservatoire.'
