History:
In 1904, Otto Reinhardt of Reinfalz, Germany interbred the Great German Spot and black Flemish Giant rabbit. Six years later, the Checkered Giant was introduced in the United States. Some time later, a smaller variant - the Miniature Checkered rabbit - was bred in the Netherlands, where it is a stable breed.
