TYPE - The Polish is a miniature, fine boned rabbit with a fly back coat, the essence of the Polish is all round balance. The exhibiy should be narrow in shoulder, relative to other breeds, and much is made of the way in which the Polish is posed or stood. Ideally in this position, when viewed from the side, the front legs, chest through the head and ears should form a vertical line and at the same time the back should arch in a quarter circle from the back of the neck to the tail, with the belly and chest well tucked up. The head should be well rounded although be roughly the same length as the distance from the base of the ears to the nose, although again the overall balance of the exhibit is the important factor.
