Coat Type and Grooming The coat is medium in length, fine, soft, and very dense. American sables tend to shed in patches, and they often take a long time to shed, so they may require more grooming than some breeds. A slicker brush is good.

From Doug Blair, Massachusetts
This is a great breed for those who want a dual purpose meet/show rabbit. It would also make a good pet bunny as long as it's large size is taken into account.
