| The '''New Zealand''' is a breed of [[rabbit]], which despite the name, is [[United States|American]] in origin. The breed originated in [[California]], possibly from rabbits imported from [[New Zealand]]. New Zealand rabbits are available in five colors recognized by the [[American Rabbit Breeders' Association]] (ARBA): white, red, black, blue, and broken. Crossbreeding can result in many other variations, such as gold tipped steel and chestnut agouti. They average {{convert|10|-|12|lb|kg|abbr=on}} with the does being slightly larger than the bucks. New Zealands are bred for meat, pelts, show, and laboratory uses, being the most commonly used breed of rabbit both for testing and meat production. They are also bred as pet rabbits but mostly breed for meat. | The '''New Zealand''' is a breed of [[rabbit]], which despite the name, is [[United States|American]] in origin.
