Standard Chinchilla is one of the most popular Chinchilla rabbits with the breeders and showman today. It has a slightly curved, compact body with a wedge-shaped face, and it is smaller than the American and Giant varieties. The first Standard Chinchilla was created in France, back in 1919, by crossing the Beveren and Himalayan with wild rabbits. These rabbits were recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders’ Association (ARBA) in 1930.
