San Juan rabbits are the Feral descendants ofBelgian Hares. Around here (WV) they are highly prized andbreed to help train hunting dogs hunt cottontails.

Here's one photo. Note that one of therabbits in the photo has Dutch markings. It's not unusual forbreeders to cross the San Juans with other breeds such as theDutch. These look very similar to the cottontails thathunters are attemting to simulate, however, the coats are not as coarseand the bone is not as fine.

Could be. It's very dark and difficult to make out in the photo.

As Jennibluhasstated San Juans are highly prized by small game hunters to train theirdogs. San Juanslook kinda like a Brittannia Petite(sp?) they like to sit up, they have fine bones like Pamstated. My uncle raises them to train his beagle pups on.
