Checkered Giant
As the name implies, the Checkered Giant is a large rabbit, with an ideal adult weight over eleven pounds. They have white bodies with dark markings in black or blue. The dark markings are: two large spots (or groups of spots) on each side, behind the mid-point of the body, a "racing stripe" along the spine, a "butterfly" on the nose, circles around the eyes and a spot on each cheek. The ears are also in the dark color.

New Zealand
New Zealands have an adult weight of 9-12 pounds. The ARBA approved colors are Black, Red, White and Broken (white with black or red markings). The back is curved evenly from the base of the ears to a peak at the hips, then smoothly down to the tail. It has "flyback" fur - if you stroke the fur "backward" (tail to head), it returns quickly to a flat position.

Rare Breeds
The following breeds are considered "Rare Breeds", so it's unlikely to find them in a pet shop or rescue situation. Still, it's possible...
American
The American breed has an ideal adult weight of nine to twelve pounds, and comes in two approved colors - blue and white. Its back arch starts back of the shoulders, running to a point forward of the hips ("mandolin" shape). Looked at from the top, the body tapers slightly from hips to shoulders.
