Also known as the Schwarzgrannen or Czech Black-Haired, the Czech Frosty is a medium-sized rabbit that was developed in the early 1950s in the Czech Republic. They were accepted into the German and European standards in the 1990s, where the national breed of the Czech Republic began to captivate hearts across the world.

​

In 2013, Don Havlicek imported the first Czech Frosties from the Czech Republic, and began the process of ARBA acceptance. It was accepted as the 51st ARBA breed in 2022 at the ARBA National Convention in Reno, Nevada, and the club was officially chartered in November of that year! The Czech Frosty became the second cylindrical breed, and the first to be posed in the Upright Cylindrical pose.
