Important - The Blanc de Bouscat must not be judged on weight alone. There must be good type and development. Ear length is important, a length of 15.25cm (6inch) is correct for a buck of kg 4.97 (11lb) and a length of 17.80cm (7inch)isnormal in a buck of kg7.028 (151/2lb).

Type - General type is robust and somewhat strong but with width in proportion to length. An elegant body - firm and well muscled on a relatively fine skeleton for such a large rabbit. In movement it is vigorous - lively and very supple. No dewlap in the buck. A very small one which should be regular and well rounded in the doe. Chest well developed with large well muscled shoulders. The line of the back rises from the nape to form an easy curve finishing at a point in front of the haunches. From this the full round rump seems to be slightly raised. The spine - a little curved is rather long but thick ending in well muscled thighs. Legs are of medium length, strong and straight.

Head - The head is strong and broad in the buck - finer in the doe. The forehead is slightly curved in both sexes. EYES: are those of the Albino - pink with blood vessels easily seen

Ears - The ears are strong - well furred - thick - carried straight up but falling into a V formation at their extreme tips, which are wide and rounded like a spoon. Ear length is in proportion to the size of the animals - cm15.25 - 18.40(6 - 71/4inch)

Colour - Completely snow white without any pigmentation. Guard hairs sprinkled regularly all over the coat give it a brilliant frosty look. Nails pinkish white.

Fur - Very dense and lustrous - silky, length to be not less than cm 3.175(11/4inch) Roll back coat.

Faults - Size a little to small or a little too big. Too long in body due to lack of muscle. Too thickset. Head a little too long or a little too short. Fur too short - lacking in density - lacking lustre.

DQ Points - Lack of muscle. Fur too short, rough, lacking density. Size too thin or excessive. Irregular type with hollow flanks and angular sides. Lack of muscular development.
