Giant Silver
The Giant Silver is a large silvered rabbit type, built around a colored coat sprinkled with pale guard hairs that give the animal a frosted appearance. It sits in the broader European and British tradition of silvered fur breeds, but the giant label signals more body and scale than the smaller Silver families. Exact accepted colors and naming can vary, so the registry behind the rabbit should always be checked.
Giant Silver breeding depends on even silvering and useful body type. Too little silvering can make the rabbit look plain, while too much can wash out the base color; either problem becomes more obvious on a large coat surface. Housing should be roomy, dry, and shaded, with flooring that protects heavier feet. Routine brushing during molt helps the silvered coat present cleanly for shows. Buyers should ask whether the line is maintained for exhibition, fur-breed preservation, or local production, because a rare giant silvered rabbit may not have the same commercial efficiency as modern meat hybrids.
