2010 Tan Nationals Youth Best Opposite of BreedUrban Rabbits is a small family rabbitry located in scenic northwest United States along the Columbia River in Oregon. We have lived in the beautiful areas surrounding us in the foothills of Mt St Helens and Mt Hood for over thirty years. The area is simply breathtaking in it's raw beauty and we are proud to call it home.

Urban Rabbits is an ARBA registered rabbitry. We belong to the Washington State Rabbit Breeders, the National Tan Club (in England), and the American Rabbit Breeders Association. We are also members of the American Tan Rabbit Specialty Club (ATRSC). Bonny was the ATRSC webmaster from 2000 - 2004 and the editor for the Tan Tribune from 1999 - 2004. Bonny is currently the editor again. Meg was the District Director from 2001 - 2005. Bonny was appointed as the director in 2009.

We are small yet very competitive at the national level. Pretty much everything we do is a family affair - we are a three generation rabbitry. Over the years it has usually been Bonny and/or Meg attending shows across the United States and Canada with the rest of us working at the local and 4H levels.  It has been our privilege to win three Tan Nationals (BOB/BOSB in 2004, BOB in 2006 and BOSB in 2010) as well as two ARBA Conventions (BOB in 2008 and BOSB in 2000). To view the rest of our accomplishments over the years, please visit our show results pages. It's an interesting walk down memory lane.

Our herd guardian is a Great Pyrenees - a fierce protector and wonderful companion we jokingly refer to as our doorbell. We also enjoy a wonderful Sheltie companion. Rabbits are not our only interest. We spend a great amount of time together on two wheels. We belong to the Rose City Motorcycle Club and volunteer to participate in a number of fund raising rides for charities throughout the year. We also participate in the annual Grand Tour, finding intentionally obscure checkpoints in the northwest while creating unique memories along the way. It's really quite the adventure. Bonny is also a certified Master Gardener in the state of Oregon.

Rosalyn, WAOur family has found the rabbit hobby to be a very enjoyable experience.  With very few exceptions, the people involved in the rabbit habit are delightful folks and have become good friends. One important thing to note about how we operate our rabbitry - we do not sell our rabbits for meat, fur, animal training or testing. We have a very conservative, yet highly successful breeding program that allows us to keep our numbers small while remaining very competitve. We purposely don't have health disclaimers associated with the sales of our rabbits. You will find our stock to be healthy and sound. Period.

We hope you find the information we present within the website helpful.

Hoppy trails from all of us!
