New Zealand
Our first New Zealand breed was a Red which had been developed in the USA as a utility rabbit. The larger New Zealand White was imported into England after the 1939/45 war and soon joined the red as a popular exhibition variety. It was joined by the Black in the 1960s and was followed by the Blue.
