Every bunny welcome!
The SA Rabbit Fanciers Society Inc. aims to promote all aspects of our hobby in a friendly, family atmosphere. Our fancy is meant to be enjoyable, so we hope to keep our shows and displays fairly informal, yet encouraging competitive exhibition in a friendly way. Our young members are the future of the fancy, and must be encouraged.
Based in the northern suburbs, we offer exhibition at Ag Shows, shop displays, schools and local fetes.
The committee come from all fields of rabbit keeping, and can redirect both members and the general public to appropriate information sources.
We operate solely under British Rabbit Council rules, only permiting BRC recognised breeds.
On the serious side we aim to:
Promote responsible breeding, exhibition and promotion of purebred domestic rabbits. Promote and assist in the continued schooling of aspiring judges and breeders under British Rabbit Council guidelines.
Educate the public and government (both local and national) as to issues affecting its members and non member breeders such as calicivirus and myxomatosis releases, disease control via vaccination and prevention, importing/exporting of stock, general animal welfare. Promote all aspects of keeping of rabbits, the rabbit fancy, industry and hobby as a whole, via education, exhibition, and participation and promotion of the rabbit fancy in the community .
