In a shdrt time, the fur from these rabbits, marketed under a different name and with a• very expensive price tag, will be' showing up in exclusive fur stores across North America. Mr. Bryczka said coats made from the rabbit fur will sell for thousands of dollars. The rabbit breeder, who learned . about the sudden popularity of Rex rabbits at a recent show he attended in Saginaw, IVIichigan, said the California company seems to have unlimited funds and will be using the rabbit hides ' in, everything from gloves to hats and coats. Mr, Bryczka himself is a devoted rabbit breeder, and has had "rabbits all my life."' One of his favorite chores is going to-oublic libraries in this area and speaking to • children about the care, and feeding of rabbits and the advantages of having the furry little animals as pets. The rabbit breeder said the American Rabbit Breed- ers Association, the parent body of the Canadian rabbit clubs, now recognizes about 38 different breeds of rabbits from the slender, two- colored Dutch rabbits to the American Checkered Giant breeds. One tip Mr. Bryszka has for anyone who is handling rabbita is IteVer. to pick the animal up by his ears,. the Medici(' once teeCoMmen,ded for bundling rabbits, Mr, Bryczka said the animal should be picked up by the scruff of the neck, and ''a hand placed under the rabbit's rump to balance the weight. . In Saturday's show, held at Seaforth District High school, Mr. BrycZka said there are two main kinds of rabbits • those which are raised for their meat, and, the fancier breeds like the Belgian Hare which are raised for pets or for show. The three breeds most commonly raised for their meat are New Zealands, Californians and Silver Martens. Breeds which make popular •pets include the small Polish' rabbits, and the English, and French-lopped ear rabbits with their long ears which sometimes .. measure,,us much as 24 to 28 inches adross from the tip of one ear to the tip of the other. • Mr. Bryczka himself, who keeps anywhere between 25 to 125 rabbits, is now down to ithree breeds - New Zealands, the popular' white rabbits; Polish rabbits and the American Dutch breed Photos and story by'Expositor rabbit expert Alice Gibb which are 1 half white and brown or black. Mr- Elry*a said rabbits shouldn't be kept iTidnom but can be left outside whiter in either an unheated shed or s,arage since their fur keeps thern: Warm, • •••• .. ...... • • • • • 4 •••• • • • • • • • • • • 0. • • • • • • • ell THE EASTER BUNNY COMES EARLY -m Jessica Mennen was surrounded by bunnies•as • she watched the judging of one of the breeds at the South Huron Rabbit Breeders Association show held at Seaforth District High School on Saturday.
