THE DUTCH RABBIT 87 



The rest of the body, under as well as over, except the 

 hind feet which should have stops, or tips, of white, not 

 exceeding two inches, and better a little less, in depth 

 and the two feet evenly marked, should be as even 

 and decided in colour as can be ; and where many 

 specimens fail is, in the under part of the body, 

 known as the undercut, being too pale and washy in 

 colour. 



I should have said that Dutch are looked upon as 

 hardy compared with almost any of the fancy varieties, 

 and are usually good feeders, requiring no special arrange- 

 ments for their feeding, and being small, will be happy 

 in hutches of the ordinary size, and even those outside, 

 if well protected ; but I am not in favour of these for any 

 kind of rabbit, if they can be avoided.
