The Beauty of a Rabbit

By Virginia Prescott on Tuesday, February 3, 2009.

The Westminster Dog Show is a big event. That’s where dogs of every imaginable breed – from the Tibetan Mastiff to the Bedlington Terrier – are judged on appearance, temperament and movement. Cows and pigs get country fairs, horses get horse shows. But there are many other species of animal, and animal lovers, out there – like rabbits and cavies, otherwise known as guinea pigs.

Jasmyn Belcher of WRVO in upstate New York learned there are actually quite a few bunny and cavy breeds out there, and quite a few individuals that share this unique hobby. She brought back this audio postcard from the Empire and Central New York Rabbit Breeders Association show, held in Fulton, New York.
