Eastern States Flemish Giants

We are proud to breed and show the largest rabbit recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Association.  Known as the Gentle Giant, the Flemish is shown in 7 varieties, Black, Blue, Fawn, Light Gray, Sandy, Steel and White.   The Flemish Giant averages 15-17 lbs at maturity, but can weigh 20 lbs. or more.

The Flemish is not like your average rabbit.  Their rapid rate of growth and large size means a little extra consideration in their diet, housing and care.  They have been specifically bred to be gentle and even tempered.  The Flemish have one of the few "mandolin" shape body types.   Our members strive to breed to the Standard accepted by the American Rabbit Breeders Association, to achieve an over-all balance, large bone, massive size,  and a well defined arch with good condition. 

Eastern States sponsors 2 major show weekends, presently held in Cortland, New York.  Known as the Spring Carousel and the Fall Classic,  each is a 2 day show with the most Flemish Giants you'll ever see in one place! 

We also sponsor a Specialty Show around February, in Pennsylvania in conjunction with the Pennsylvania State Rabbit Breeders Convention Show.

Our members breed and show all 7 varieties.  We have been well represented at recent National ARBA Conventions. Our members support 4-H clubs and strongly encourage Youth breeders to learn about our Giants.
