This inquisitive breed is known by it's markings, which are made up of a herringbone running down the spine, a butterfly on the nose, color on ears, cheek spots, eye circles, and of course the spots on the sides which gradually get larger in a long chain.
The English Spot is a full arched breed, meaning it shows an arch of back, and daylight under the stomach. It is medium sized, five to eight pounds, and should in no way look like a meat rabbit. They come in seven distinct colors: Black, Blue, Chocolate, Gold, Gray, Lilac, and Tortoise. Unrecognized colors are not allowed in the show ring.
The English Spot is an energetic breed, with a curiosity that can sometimes get them into trouble! If you are looking for a rabbit that just sits in your lap all day, the English Spot is not for you! They're like little kids, nothing amuses them for that long. A very gentle Spot will sit in your lap to a point, but don't expect the lazy sort of rabbit. If you get a Spot, you'll get constant amusement as they have to explore everything, and are very outgoing.
