Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What are the five rabbit body types that the ARBA recognizes?

Answer: Compact, commercial, semi-arch, full-arch, cylindrical

Compact, commercial, semi-arch, full-arch, and cylindrical are the five body types of show rabbits in the ARBA. The commercial category includes the most breeds. These breeds tend to be large breeds used for fur or meat. Compact is the second largest category; these breeds tend to be small and popular as pets. Full-arch is the third largest group; these breeds are fine boned and very hare-like.

This is followed by the semi-arch group. These breeds have an arch that starts further down the body than the full-arch group.

The smallest group is obviously the cylindrical, as it only houses one breed - the Himalayan. The Himalayan is long in body and doesn't really have any arch.
2. What rabbit breed has the most varieties in the ARBA standard?

Answer: Netherland dwarf

The Netherland dwarf has several special qualities. It is the smallest recognized breed of rabbit and is accepted in the most varieties. The Netherland dwarf is also the most popular pet. The American breed is only recognized in white and blue. The Hotot and Belgian hare are only recognized in one variety each.
3. What are the four varieties recognized by the ARBA for the tan breed?

Answer: Black, blue, chocolate, lilac,

Tans sport either black, blue, chocolate, or lilac fur. Their underbellies are a brilliant tan color. The bases of their ears and the area underneath their throats are also the color for which they are named.
4. What are the four main fur types for rabbits (according to the ARBA)?

Answer: normal, wool, satin, Rex

Most of the breeds have "normal" type fur. Breeds like the angora and Jersey woolly have long, "wool" fur. The satin breed naturally has "satin" fur. Satin fur is known for its sheen. The Rex and mini Rex have "Rex" fur. Rex fur is short, velvety, and resistant to the touch. "Normal" fur can be further classified into 3 types. Roll back, fly back, and standing. Roll back goes back to original position slowly after being stroked, while fly back goes back immediately. Standing fur is unique to the silver fox breed, and doesn't go back to its original position.
5. Which of the following rabbits would always be disqualified in an ARBA show, regardless of breed?

Answer: A neutered rabbit

No neutered (or spayed) rabbit can be shown in an official ARBA show. It depends on the breed whether a dewlap or smut is a disqualification. Only certain breeds and broken patterned rabbits should have eye circles.
6. What ARBA breed standard uses the terms "herringbone", "side pattern", and "graduation"?

Answer: English Spot

The English spot has one of the most complicated ARBA standards. They have eye circles and butterfly nose markings. They also have cheek spots. They have a ridged spine marking that goes all the way down from the napes of their necks to the tips of their tails. Their main feature is a chain of spots down their sides.
7. Which of the following groups of terms all apply to the ARBA Dutch breed standard?

Answer: Blaze, saddle, undercut, stops

The Dutch is one of the hardest breeds in which to attain perfection. The hindquarters of the Dutch are to be black (with white paws), and the forequarters are to be white. Their heads and ears are to be black except for a pointed white stripe running down their foreheads and covering their noses.

The lines where the black and white meet are to be sharp and clean without stray hair or lines. The Dutch is a very popular pet.
8. What breed has the two groups "Japanese" and "Magpie" in the ARBA standard?

Answer: Harlequin

The harlequin is a large, commercial type breed with alternating stripes. The Japanese group has an orange or fawn color in conjunction with black, chocolate, blue, or lilac. The Magpie has white in conjunction with the same varieties.
9. What breed of rabbit is always tricolored in the ARBA standard?

Answer: Rhinelander

The Rhinelander is a full-arch breed with spots that are black and orange. They are larger and have fewer spots, but other than that they resemble an English spot. They should have an even amount of the two colors. A broken patterned mini Rex can be tricolored, but that is just one style.
10. Which of the following ARBA breed standards does not recognize the "broken" variety? ("Broken" rabbits are white in conjunction with another recognized color.)

Answer: New Zealand

The New Zealand only comes in varieties of solid black, red, and white. All the other breeds mentioned in the questions can be shown in broken patters. The New Zealand is a large, commercial breed.
