I started breeding Polish a few months after I began breeding. The way the polish holds itself and stands proud is what made me fall in love with the breed, since breeding them i have found my true passion in the rabbit fancy. I started with BEW's (blue eyed white) and then began to expand in colours. first with a beautiful black buck and a sable doe then followed by a pair of agouti's and a blue and a lilac which were imported from the mainland. Since having the polish i have been working tirelessly to improve the over all balance of my polish as well as the size and type. I have managed to cement the beautiful wedge shaped head into my otter breeding program, as well as bringing the size down of the rabbits and shortening the length of their body to give better balance in the exhibit.
The Polish is a miniature fine boned rabbit. The essence of the polish is all round balance, much is made of the way way the polish is posed or stood. Ideally when viewed from the side the rabbit should resemble a 'h' with the back gracefully arched in a quarter circle with the belly well tucked up, the front legs should be straight and long and make a straight line through from the top of the ears to the front toes. The coat should be short and fly back and the head should be a torpedo shape.
Ring Size A Points
DISQUALIFICATIONS - Exhibits over 1.134kg (2.1/2lb). Odd colour, wall or specked eyes. White armpits, putty nose or white patches on a coloured exhibit.

- Type - The Polish is a miniature, fine-boned rabbit with a fly back coat, the essence of the Polish is all round balance. The exhibit should be narrow in shoulder, relative to other breeds, and much is made of the way in which the Polish is posed or stood. Ideally in this position, when viewed from the side, the front legs, chest through the head and ears should form a vertical line and at the same time the back should arch in a quarter circle from the back of the neck to the tail, with the belly and chest well tucked up. The head should be well rounded although not necessarily as bold in does. The ears should be carried erect and should be roughly the same length as the distance from the base of the ears to the nose although again the overall balance of the exhibit is the important factor. The Polish should weigh a maximum of 1.134kg (2.1/2lb)
- Coat - The construction of the hair shaft to be short and fine to lie very close to the body. When coat is stroked in the reverse it should sharply fly back to its original position with a degree of density.
- Colour - Pure white with Red or Blue eyes, other as per the normal colour depicted.
- Ears - Set well together carried erect on top of the head, well covered and rounded when viewed from the front or side. To touch all the way up without showing a flange when presented. The length to be in keeping with the overall balance of the exhibit. The colour to match the body where appropriate, otherwise to pattern.
- Eyes - Bright and very bold, well positioned on upper side of head. The colour in Red Eyed Whites to be as near blood red as possible and in Blue Eyed Whites to be as deep a blue as possible. Other colours as per the normal colour of the exhibit depicted.
- Condition - The exhibit should be in a perfect state of health and bodily condition free from all soiling. The coat should reflect the overall good health of the exhibit, which should appear alert, sprightly and vigorous.
FAULTS - Roll back coat, bowed ears or pale eyes. White toenails on any exhibit other than Red Eyes Whites or Blue Eyed Whites. Ears out of proportion with the body.
