Flemish giants are of the semi-arch type and are shown in six classes (junior bucks and does under 6 months, intermediate bucks and does 6-8 months, and senior bucks and does 8 months and older).
Also called the [gentle giant], this breed of rabbit is known for its very gentle, sweet, and docile personality. It is believed that the [flemish giant] is the modern descendant of the [Patagonian] rabbit of Argentina.
