What are furnishings related to in rabbit breeds?

Furnishings in rabbit breeds specifically refer to the tassels and fringes found on the ears, as well as the side trimmings of certain wooled breeds. This characteristic is particularly important in breeds that have a distinct woolly coat, such as the Angora or the Jersey Wooly. The presence and quality of these furnishings can significantly contribute to the overall appearance and classification of the breed during competitions or assessments.

In contrast, other options relate to different aspects of a rabbit’s physical features. The fringe on the tail and wool on the belly area do not pertain to the definition of furnishings, and patterns in a rabbit's coat involve markings and coloration, rather than the specific texture and style associated with furnishings.
