What does a fine coat indicate about a rabbit's fur?

A fine coat in the context of rabbit fur generally refers to the texture and composition of the fur. A coat that lacks body and guard hairs typically indicates that the fur is not dense enough and may not provide adequate insulation or protection for the rabbit.

When evaluating rabbit fur, ideal show standards often describe a coat that is thick and has a balance of undercoat (body hairs) and outer coat (guard hairs). A fine coat that lacks these guard hairs may appear softer or finer to the touch, but it does not meet the expectations for show quality, which prioritize density, health, and texture of the fur.

In this light, a fine coat does not suggest that the rabbit has well-maintained or healthy fur, as a healthy coat is usually characterized by a proper balance of body and guard hairs.
