Deilenaar (Rare Variety)
In 2014 we were extremely lucky to import 5 of these beautiful rabbits from a respected breeder in the Netherlands & they have my heartfelt thanks for making one of my dreams come true.
Thank you Team Deilenaar at www.deilenaar.nl

Why Deilenaar?
The Deilenaar are a fantastic breed, from our photos above you can see the beautiful rich red colouring, the black mackerel effect of the black hairs evenly distributed and the bellies of these lovely rabbits varies from a rich rusty red to a rich cream - whatever the belly colour of each individual, it is separated from the main body by a nice tan line.
So.... that's the colouring taken care of...
for what other reasons should you have your very own Deilenaar in your rabbit shed?
Well, for a start they have a long show life and providing the does are kept in top condition after raising a litter or two, they can still be successfully shown aged 4 - 6yrs.
And as an added bonus, the does are not prone to developing dewlaps like some other breeds!
Personality wise, each one is obviously different, but generally they are placid & even tempered
and enjoy attention.
This wonderful breed really is a pleasure to own & now that we have owned them, we wouldn't be without them!
