If we take a look at some books about rabbits (and hare), there are so many types of rabbits or breeds that we know to date. In general, we can say there are two big categories of rabbits: free rabbits and domestic rabbits, in which the pet rabbits are belong to.
Two pictures below show you the contract between both. A free rabbit was freely eating grasses and flowers in the savanna, while my rabbit Pucca, a domestic rabbit was exploring the front yard.
 | Dwarf rabbits are 0.9 – 1.5 Kg (2 – 3.3 lbs) such as: Lionhead, Holland Lop, Netherland Dwarf, Polish, Polish Dwarf, Dwarf Hotot, Jersey Wooly, etc. |
 | Small rabbits are 1.5 – 2.5 Kg (3.3 – 5.5 lbs) such as: Dutch, American Fuzzy Lop, Mini Lop, Dwarf Lop, Himalayan, Mini Rex, etc. |
 | Medium rabbits are 2.5 – 4 Kg (5.5 – 8.8 lbs) such as: Chinchilla, English Angora, French Angora, Rex, Belgian Hare, etc. |
 | Large rabbits are 4 - 5 Kg (8.8 – 11 lbs) such as: English Lop, Satin, Californian, New Zealand White, etc. |
 | Huge/giant rabbits are 5 – 8 Kg (5 – 17.6 lbs) or more: French Lop, Flemish Giant, British Giant, Checkered Giant, etc. |
Beside dwarf, S-M-L and giant size of rabbits, also known some types of mini rabbits. They are called mini because they are similar to original types except the size that smaller or much smaller. For example Mini Rex is Rex rabbit that smaller in size, and Mini Lop is miniature of typical Lop rabbit.
