English Spot
The English Spot is a breed of domestic rabbit that was developed in England in the 19th century through selective breeding. Averaging 5 to 8 pounds in weight, the English Spot is a medium-sized breed that is most noted by the distinctive colored markings on its body, including the butterfly, eye circles, cheek spots, herringbone, colored ears, and a chain of spots. The breed comes in seven varieties of colors: black, blue, chocolate, gold, gray, lilac, and tortoise. English Spots have a full arch body, with long front legs that carry them off the table. English Spots are most known for their curious and fun loving nature.
==History==
The English Spot is believed to be one of the oldest breeds of fancy rabbit.〔(The Spotted Beauty )〕 The exact origin of the English Spot is not known, but is thought to have come from the English Butterfly. It is thought to be a relative of the Checkered Giant due to their shared physical features, such as cheek spots, butterflies, eye circles, colored ears, and a herringbone. The Checkered Giant is a larger breed, weighing on average 10-14 pounds.
The breed has been common in England since the 1850s, and was imported to North America at around 1910.〔(American English Spot Rabbit Club: Breed Information )〕 The American English Spot Rabbit Club was established in 1924. The French named the breed "Lapin Papillon Anglais", or the English Butterfly Rabbit from the butterfly marking on the nose.〔(Critter Collection: Rabbit Breeds )〕 Previous generations of the breed entailed a white rabbit with patches of color and through the years has acquired clearly defined markings.〔
