from the region of Gouda and Utrecht, they ended up creating the Gouwenaar breed. England It was a few years later, in 1922, that an English curator, G. Lathan, crossed Beveren Blue rabbits with Havanas and ended up with darker offspring. By continuously working with these black rabbits, she later discovered the "blue bunny with a pink reflection" after generations of offspring, which she found very pleasing. The creation of this spectacular result, led to Lathan selectively breeding rabbit offspring into creating the Lilac Rabbit. France The introduction of the Fee de Marbourg in France had made a confusing start among rabbit breeders and enthusiasts. The breed was accepted in the collection of standards, but under a bilingual format for its name. It was officially called 'Petit Gris' in French (Little Grey) and 'Rabbit Fairy' in the German text, with both containing a description of the inconsistent color that is used to describe the rabbit's fur.
