The Colored Dwarf Rabbit is one of the most widespread dwarf breeds of domestic rabbit; this breed has a standard and can be presented at exhibitions, so it should be distinguished from common dwarfs found mainly in pet stores. Genetically descended from the Polish rabbit, also called ermine, rabbits of this breed were never really raised for their meat.
