An American Classic.

Since 2009, BARNSC has been dedicated to the preservation, promotion, and protection of one of America’s rarest and most historically significant rabbit breeds: the American rabbit.

What started as a small group of passionate breeders has grown into a national and international community committed to education, ethical breeding, youth outreach, and conservation.

In 2022, we became a 501(c)(3) private foundation—allowing us to expand our efforts to support youth education and fund vital breed preservation work.
