New Delhi/ 8 September 2016. The Flemish giant is a dog-sized rabbit. They are the largest rabbit breed on planet which grows up to 2.5 feet long.

The creature started to appear at rabbit shows with the original Flemish Giant weighing about 14lb (6.35 Kilos) and the first breeding standards being written in 1893.

At this time, the colouring for a Flemish Giant was an iron grey colour with sandy or white bar markings on the legs and long, bent tipped, ears.

The National Federation of Flemish Giant Rabbit Breeders recognizes Black, Blue, Fawn, Light Gray, Steel Gray, Sandy, and White as the official color varieties.

They can live up to 5 years or more but as with all rabbits. 

A buck can take one and a half years, whilst a doe can take one year to reach maturity.

The Flemish Giant is generally a docile breed, and these rabbits make good companions and loving family pets.
