Pointed Beveren rabbits for sale in Essex

The Pointed Beveren is a distinctive variety of the Beveren rabbit, originally bred in Beveren, Belgium, in the late 19th century. This breed is known for its large size, with adults typically weighing between 8-12 lbs, and its mandolin-shaped body featuring a smooth arched back. The Pointed Beveren is especially recognised for its Himalayan colour pattern, characterised by a clean, white body contrasting with darker points on the ears, nose, feet, and tail. The most common pointed colour is black, but blue and lilac points are also recognised. Their fur is medium-long, dense, and glossy, with rollback fur that requires moderate grooming. Temperament-wise, Pointed Beverens are calm, gentle, and docile rabbits, making them great pets for experienced owners who can provide ample space. They bond well with gentle handling though they may initially be reserved. Due to their larger size, they need spacious living conditions and regular care including a high-quality diet and grooming particularly during shedding seasons. While the Pointed Beveren is a less common breed compared to others, its unique appearance and sweet nature make it a prized choice for rabbit enthusiasts and show purposes alike.
