Appearance and coat description
The American Sable is a medium to large rabbit with a rounded body, very distinct colouring, and ruby red glow in its dark eyes. The medium size head is well-shaped, with erect ears. The topline of the back forms a smooth continuous curve from the base of the neck to the tail. The coat is very soft, fine, and dense. It comes in the Sable pattern, which includes rich sepia brown on the body with darker sepia brown on the ears, face, back, legs, and upper side of the tail. American Sables tend to shed in patches, and shedding usually takes a long time. Therefore, they may need more grooming than other breeds. Regular brushing with a slicker brush should be fine.American Sables weigh 7 to 10 pounds. Males (bucks) tend to be somewhat smaller.
