The Argente rabbit is one of the oldest breeds of French show rabbits. The British Rabbit Council recognises five colours of Argentes: Bleu, Brun, Creme, Champagne and Noir, while the American Rabbit Breeders Association recognises only Creme and Champagne. At birth, Argentes are of a solid color, with adult coloring beginning to show around four months of age. They are known as excellent pets due to their good nature. Argente rabbits are small and neat with well-developed hind quarters and slightly arched backs. Extremes of cobbiness or raciness are undesirable in shows. With broad heads and straight front legs, they are short and fine in bone. == Argente Bleu and Brun== Argente Bleus〔(Argente Bleu BRC Breed Standard )〕 and Bruns〔(Argente Brun BRC Breed Standard )〕 have ears that are short, rounded, and proportionate in breadth, and they carry them erect. Bleus and Bruns weigh about , and their coats are very dense, glossy, silky and lie close to their bodies. In rabbit shows the following are considered faults: dark or too long ears, too dark muzzle, and/or washy undercolour. Creamy or yellow tint, especially around the neck and cheeks, large paunch, bony or angular frame, or fur that is too harsh, thin, wooly or short is frowned upon. Dewlaps in either sex are considered a serious fault. White-topped or very dark exhibits are discouraged. White toenails are a minor fault. The undercolour of the Argente Bleu is lavender blue. In shows it is desirable for the colour to be even and moderately interspersed with longer dark blue hairs to give a distinct bluish effect when viewed from a distance. Eyes are bold and blue, and toenails are coloured. For Argente Bruns, a brown undertone, as deep as possible, is desired. Body colour should be brownish white, evenly and moderately interspersed with longer dark brown hairs to give a distinct brownish effect when viewed from a distance. Eyes are bold and brown, and toenails are coloured. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Argente rabbit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
