The Million Dollar Rabbit
The first Giant Chinchilla was born in Kansas City, Missouri, on Christmas Day in 1921. Her very proud creator was Edward H. Stahl. She was exhibited the following year and was called the Million Dollar Princess. Now the breed is called the Million Dollar Rabbit. Stahl perfected this breed by using over weight Chinchillas and White Flemish Giants, just to name a couple of breeds used. The Giant Chinchilla has been purebred for over 45 years. The Giant Chinchilla Rabbit is one of the few rabbit breeds that was created in America.
Although it is mostly bred for showing these days, the Giant Chinchilla is still judged on its commercial value, with meat-producing qualities scored highly on the show table.
According to the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy (ALBC) the Giant Chinchilla is on the Watch list which means there are fewer than 200 annual registrations in the United States and an estimated global population of less than 2,000.
The Giant Chinchilla grows very fast when young and will weigh between 5-6 pounds when only 8 weeks old and 7-9 pounds at 12 weeks old. Giant Chinchillas have no competition when it comes to producing meat fast and cost efficiently.
The ideal Giant Chinchilla should weigh, when fully mature, 13-14 pounds for bucks. Does at maturity should weigh 14-15 pounds.
The Giant Chinchilla has a very soft, silky coat of dense, medium length hair. Chinchillas have agouti coloring, where the hairs have different colour bands along their length. The undercolour (next to the skin) is dark slate blue, the middle colour band is pearl and the tips of the hair grey. Black 'ticking' (guard hairs) are unevely distributed over most of the body. The belly, neck, flanks and eye-cirles have pale, pearl ticking and the ears are laced with black. The color is chinchilla which is also found in many other breeds.
Giant Chinchilla rabbits are generally docile, good natured and gentle. They are friendly and sociable rabbits, enjoy lots of attention and can be quite playful. Giant Chinchillas are usually good with children and other pets.
