The Club

The Dominion Rabbit and Cavy Breeders' Association was founded in 1909 by the late Len Parker. This national Canadian based club was designed to help promote the breeding, showing and total use of pedigreed rabbits and cavies in Canada. The DR&CBA hosts a number of shows each year, ranging from small table shows to 'The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair'. We also host a number of training and information sessions as well as fun events. The Association has its own working standards for an ever growing list of rabbits and cavies. There is a Sweepstakes Program to encourage individuals to strive to produce the best animals possible. We have our own approved judges, that judge at the Dominion shows as well as a number of local fall fairs. So if you raise these animals for fun, meat, pets or what ever reason, contact the club and get involved!  Membership information is a click away.  Print it and send it off and become a member!!  It is that simple.

Our Goals

Our philosophy is to encourage interest in the education of rabbits and cavies, and the participation of the social aspects shared by other rabbit and cavy enthusiasts.  We offer basic general information about rabbits and cavies and discuss the benefits of having them as pets, for breeding, showing and their various commercial purposes.

Our Website

Our website is designed to identify our organization and its members and to offer basic information about rabbits and cavies. We have dedicated webmasters who make changes to the site.  The Events calendar page provides information on DRCBA and OCC shows and gatherings plus dates for other club shows that our members might be interested in.  Show results are reported AFTER they have been published in the club Newsletter and sweepstake points are updated as the information becomes available.  Members can submit articles for the Newsletter and these may appear in the members area of the website at a later time.  New section/pages are added to the website as new content is developered. We will notify members through the Newsletter when there have been major additions and/or changes. Check the Events page often for event updates.
