Detailed profile of this breed: origin, year of creation, recognised varieties and official approvals.

Breed summary

A white-coated rabbit variety characterized by brown eyes and a compact, medium-type body. The designation indicates a Moravian origin (region in the Czech lands) and the specific eye colour distinguishes it from red‑/ruby‑eyed white varieties. Qualitatively it is valued for its clear white pelt and contrasting eye colour; quantitatively it is considered a medium‑sized variety (see note below about standards).

Detailed origin

The name refers to Moravia (a historical region of today's Czech Republic), implying local development by regional breeders. Documentary sources about this exact colour/variety are limited and national recognition or exact pedigrees vary by country. It is therefore accurate to state the origin as Moravian/local Czech breeder stock, with subsequent selection to fix both pure white fur and brown eye pigmentation rather than the typical albino red/ruby eyes. Precise dates and founding breeders are not reliably documented in the sources available to me.

Detailed description

Coat: uniformly white, without ticking or markings; the brown eyes are a defining trait and indicate retained pigment rather than albinism. Body: medium type, compact to semi‑aromatic conformation depending on local lines. Temperament: typically calm and manageable under handling due to selection for show/companion traits in many lines. Quantitatively, internationally available, standardized measurements for this specific named variety are sparse; as an indicative guideline (based on medium rabbit types) adult weight commonly falls in roughly the 3.0–4.5 kg range and life expectancy in domestic care typically spans several years (often around 5–8 years). For breeding standards (exact weights, ear length, show points) consult the relevant national or regional breed standard where the variety is registered.
