Attention show secretaries:  As of October 2025 the NSRC Board of Directors has initiated a policy stating that all breed sanction requests must be received no later than a week (7 days) prior to the show in question.

 

We have one of the lowest sanction fees of any National breed club!   The fee is only $7.00 per show, and youth is added free if requested with open.   Please consider supporting our breed by sanctioning your shows.  Click below to download a printable sanction form.

For members: What does "sanctioned" mean?  If an all-breed rabbit show is sanctioned with the American Rabbit Breeders Association, it can be sanctioned with the NSRC.   That simply means that the show secretary will turn in a report to our club secretary, and members who show there will earn sweepstakes points toward our annual competition.  If an ARBA show is not sanctioned by the NSRC, you can still show your Silvers, but you will not earn national points for them.  You can help out by showing more Silvers and promoting the breed in your area, and if they become more common, they will be more likely to be sanctioned by the local club hosting the show.  Most host clubs also allow you to pay to sanction your breed if you contact them in advance.
