In 1882, the Belgian Hare was presented for the first time at a show. During this period, it became very popular in the United States. It was also a popular breed for the show in Belgium.
The Belgian Hare has a very distinctive appearance. The color of the rabbit is known as a rich red with black ticking. The traditional “Rufous” variety has black ticking on top of the coat.
