This is a very old breed, which has been long-known in many Asian countries near the Himalayan Mountains. Himalayans are more widely distributed across the world than any other breed, and in many countries has been known by many names, such as the Black Nose, Russian, Chinese, and the Egyptian. Those rabbits have very gentle temperament, and they make great pets for children . Himalayans are also a very good choice for a first-time owner - or anyone who wants a pet that is content to sit quietly in their lap. Like a Himalayan cat, those rabbits are white with dark spots on their noses, ears, tails and feet. They also have a cat-like, slender body, which makes it easy for children to handle. The original Himalayan variety had black spots, but breeders created the Chocolate, Blue, and Lilac sub-breeds. All Himalayans are born white, but with age, their markings come in. Those rabbits are delicately built and nearly always have pink eyes.
It is the only breed which was classified as cylindrical - i.e. long-bodied, like a tube or cylinder. This breed is judged when being posed "stretched-out".
