The Breed in Bloom
NATIONAL EVENTS
National Lilac Rabbit Club of America members have two premier show events which draw seasoned Lilac breeders and those just beginning their adventure with this heritage breed from all over the United States - The American Rabbit Breeders National Convention and the Spring National Lilac Show.
Both of the above shows are made possible by dedicated breeders from host clubs volunteering their talents and many man-hours to see to it that breeders from coast-to-coast have a venue to display beautiful Lilac rabbits - evidence for many, of years of dedicated breeding programs.
