British Rabbit Council
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The British Rabbit Council (or BRC) is a showing organisation for rabbit lovers all over the UK. To enter most rabbit shows, you must be a member and your rabbit must have a metal ring around its foot registered in your name. In breed classes the rabbits are judged to a standard. Shows are rated from 1* to 5*, 1 being the lowest and 5 the highest. The BRC's aim is 'To protect, further and co-ordinate the interests of all British rabbit breeders; to assist and extend the exhibition rabbits, to influence, advise and co-operate with central and local authorities, departments, education and other committees and schools in promoting the extension of the breeding of rabbits, and to promote and encourage education and research of a scientific and/or practical nature for the welfare and benefit of the rabbit.'
There are over 50 breeds recognised by the BRC and over 500 varieties. These are split into 4 groups - Fancy, Fur, Rex and Lop.
