Founder | Belle & Fred Houseman |
Brief History | This breed was created accidentally when Belle and Fred Houseman bred their Chinchilla doe to a New Zealand buck. They then bred a Checkered Giant and a Californian to the crossbred rabbits and each produced russet colored rabbits in their litters. It was at that point their father showed the rabbits to a local judge and their process of starting this breed began. |
