#hussies

The Hulstlander Rabbit, which are also known as “Hussies,” was named after the district of Hulstlander, which is located in the Province of Overijssel in the Netherlands. That was where Mr. J. de Graaf created the breed when he started crossbreeding rabbits in 1977. This was done in an effort to get a blue-eyed, white rabbit.

The body of the Hulstlander Rabbit will be compact and short. Overall, the whole body is covered with muscles that are firm. The head should be broad, short, and strongly formed. The eyes should be lively, bright, and clear. The ears should be thick and large, and they should be held wide apart in a “v” shape. The ears should also be held upright, be covered well with fur, and feature rounded tips. The ear length should be anywhere from 3-4 inches.

The Hulstlander Rabbit features a medium length coat that is lustrous and dense. Overall, the coat seems to have a sheen, and the surface will appear glossy and smooth. A Hulstlander Rabbit’s fur will be white and free from any traces of yellow or ivory anywhere on the body. The eyes will also be a beautiful blue shade instead of pink, but the nails will be colorless.
