Our rabbitry is small for a reason!

We believe in sustainable living and practice permaculture principles.
Lupin Lapin Rabbitry is a synergistic part of that process.
We are traditional feeders and our rabbits are integral garden partners:  
cycling  local plant materials into manure and helping to create high quality soil from sand.

Our choice of the less common Lilac Breed of rabbit for this task is due to its compact size, sturdy constitution and calm, friendly personalities.  Being pretty is just a bonus perk.
Our concentration is on conservation of this 100 year old breed, while focusing on improving overall quality, temperament and physical appearance of these  beautiful animals.

We placed in the TOP 5 nationally in sweepstakes points for the past 8 years in a row! 2012-2019
Since 2020 -we stepped back from showing due to personal health issues.
​We managed to place #6 in 2020 Sweepstakes: Out of 24 Open participants.
​2/20/2022   Julie placed #2 & Michael was #5
          2023 Show schedule will continue to be drastically limited.

Rarity of the Lilac Breed rabbit: 

The Livestock Conservancy  lists Lilac Breed rabbits as a 'watched' breed on their conservation priority list, which means  that there are fewer than 200 annual registrations in the United States and an estimated global population of less than 2,000.
​
Rare Breeds Rabbit List categorizes Lilacs as #11 (Previously #8) of 16 breeds in danger of disappearing.
