Angora Rabbitry Resources

RESOURCES FOR ANGORA RABBITRIES
If you would like to have your webpage or other resource listed here, please send me an email at AngoraStyle@angorarabbit.com. It is a shame, but few breeders maintain webpages and blogs the way they used to, when the www was new and exciting to us. At the very least, set up a Facebook page for your rabbitry. Do not use a personal profile as a rabbitry page, because Facebook will delete those for violating its terms of service. “Facebook Pages,” as opposed to personal profiles, are pretty much like regular website pages, as far as Google is concerned.

It is also unfortunate that so few rabbit clubs have  websites, and many of those that do exist have not been  updated for a long time.  I think that at minimum, clubs should have Facebook brand pages, and update them quarterly.
