Blanc de Chauny
Blanc de Chauny is a little-known French regional rabbit name associated with Chauny in the Aisne department. The name translates simply as White of Chauny, and available references place it among the white, commercial-type domestic rabbits selected in France for pale pelts, table use, and practical farm production. It is generally described as an albino white rabbit rather than a marked breed like the Blanc de Hotot. Detailed modern standards are not as easy to find as they are for larger French breeds, so weights, type, and recognition may vary by source.
Anyone working with rabbits sold under this name should document origin and the standard being followed. In practical terms they are managed as medium to large domestic rabbits: dry housing, good hay-based feeding, enough space for exercise, and careful heat control are more important than colour alone. Breeders trying to preserve a line should select for sound bodies, fertility, and calm handling as well as clean white fur. It is easy for obscure white breeds to be confused with New Zealand White or local albino stock, so accurate labeling matters.
