What is the French Turning?

Frencheling is a breed of domestic rabbit from the 19th century and created by combining English rabbits with giant breed Normande. These first French Lops were primarily Agouti, chestnut and black pattern. Although the French LOP was primarily bred for its meat, over time it became popular at exhibitions and as a domestic animal. The breed was known especially for its meat up to the age of 30, when 10 French blades were brought to the UK and exhibited during the Crystal Palace show. Until the 1960s, they still did not gain popular position, although French Lops can now be found in U.K. and U.S.

Frencheling is a particularly large breed and can weigh up to £ 10 (4.5 kg). The breed is a comparable size with the Flemish giant and is the largest of all the Breeds of the Turning. The shape of the breed can be described "and storage" or "Cobby". It praises short, wide cubic heads and bodies and short legs.

Although, like all the Breeds, their ears are long and hangs under the jaw, the ears of the Frenchelle are significantly shorter than that of his cousin, English. The standard length of the ear is between 12 inches and 15 inches (30.5 cm and 38 cm) long, measured from the tip of one ear to the tip of the other. The coat is soft and elegant and can be found in various colors and samples, including full color such as black, white, blue, orange and brown, and different patterns such as Agouti, Chinchla, Kolouch, Siamese Sale, Steel and Butterfly. The French LOP is also the forerunner of a smaller dwarf of the LOP, whose weight average only around £ 5 (2.25 kg). The dwarf came from the Netherlands around 1950 and reminds of a miniature French travel.

French lops are generally friendly, peace and make good pets, although their size means that they require a large hutch or running that some residents of the apartment may not have room to provide. Can live outside or in the interior and is not particularly likelyNo, that behavior problems develop. Their lifetime on five to seven years of age.

France's French Lop produces large litters from five to 12 bunnies, but most breeders prevent women in childbirth 9 months ago and after the age of 1 year. Fusing female pelvic bones after this time makes birth difficult. The period of pregnancy for the breed is between 28 and 31 days.
