Palominos have joined the list.

I took the ARBA Convention entries for the last five years, took the average and
sorted the list.

I took the ARBA Registration number for the last five years, took the average and sorted the list.

I took the rankings and ran the average of the rankings to make up the new list.

Since the Rare Breed Rabbit List started on the rare breed group, I present the data and the list for discussion on RareBreedRabbits group before posting on the Rabbitgeek website.

Please join the Rare Breed Rabbit group for discussion of the proposed new list
