We have set up a new Facebook group for serious show breeders of Angora Rabbits. There are many different Facebook groups for rabbit fanciers, but we found there to be an unfilled niche for those of us who are devoted to breeding better Angora Rabbits according to the ARBA Standard of Perfection. We were weary of the bunny mill satellite breeders who were joining the existing groups, who seem interested only in churning out rabbits on a bulk basis to make a quick buck. We were weary of the bad advice that was being offered to newbies by persons who themselves are newbies.

Co-owners of this new group are Dr. Alfred Mina, a veterinarian who is a breeder of Angora show rabbits; Kelly Flading, who is the NARBC Membership Chair and breeder of English, French, and Satin Angoras; and myself.

It is not our goal to have a large group; after all, life experience has taught us that most people in any endeavor are content to stay on the bottom rung without trying to improve anything. A quest to be the one of the best at something is both very hard and very easy. It is hard because of the work and commitment. And it is easy, because so few other people are willing to devote the same amount of work and commitment!

If you use the ARBA Standard of Perfection as your guide in breeding rabbits, and if you want to breed better rabbits, then you might like to join our group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/angorarabbitshowbreeders/

Kelly Flading and I also have an Angora Rabbits group on Google Plus.
