THE FANCY BREEDS 
It 1s not possible, in a discussion of this 
nature, to enumerate all of the breeds of do- 
mesticated rabbits and describe them in de- 
tail. Such an effort would require a volume in 
itself. Those breeds included under this head- 
ing are only those which do not have any ordi- 
nary value for eating purposes. Of course, 
many of the breeds which we mention under 
this classification have a value for sale as 
breeding animals and for fur. In fact there is 
hardly a domesticated rabbit that does not 
have some commercial value. 
The American Spotted Giant, formerly 
called the German Checkered Giant, is a large 
white rabbit with black spots and markings. 
The bucks weigh 11 pounds or more and the 
does 13 pounds or over. This rabbit may 
have a commercial value for meat purposes, 
but it has not been bred extensively for that 
purpose as yet.
