Which breed is typically bred for its meat and fur, and is larger than many standard breeds?

The Flemish Giant breed is known for its substantial size, making it one of the largest rabbit breeds. This breed has been specifically developed for both meat production and fur. Due to its significant weight and robust body structure, the Flemish Giant surpasses many standard rabbit breeds in size.

This breed is characterized by its calm demeanor and friendly nature, making it suitable for livestock purposes while also being manageable as a pet. This dual purpose, along with its size, is what distinguishes the Flemish Giant from other breeds, which may focus more on pet qualities or aesthetic features rather than meat and fur production.

While other breeds listed have their unique traits, they either cater more towards specific aesthetics, like the English Spot with its distinctive markings, or smaller sizes that do not fulfill the meat-producing criteria as effectively as the Flemish Giant. The French Lop may also be used for meat, but it does not match the Flemish Giant in size. Similarly, the Havana rabbit is primarily recognized for its fur quality rather than size or significant meat production.
