Group: Full Arch

Varieties: Black, Black Otter, Chestnut Agouti, Ruby Eyed White, Sable Marten

Weight: 2 1/2 pounds maximum; Females: 2 1/2 pounds maximum

Physical Attributes: Britannia Petites are small, delicate-looking rabbits. They have fairly long, slender, arched bodies similar to a hare. They have short, upright ears and a wedge-shaped face. They stand up tall due to long front legs.

Personality: Britannia Petites tend to be more high strung than many breeds. Their standard of perfection calls for a lively rabbit, and that a temperamental Britannia Petite is sometime to be expected. They are exceptionally curious and require toys and human interaction to prevent boredom.

Coat Type and Grooming: Britannia Petites have short, fine, dense fur that lies close to the body. It has a silky texture to it. Grooming is fairly easy with a weekly brushing by a slicker brush being all that is needed normally. During the shedding season, bi-weekly brushings may be required.
