AMERICAN BELGIAN HARE CLUB
2011 Nationals Information 2010 Sweepstakes
38 YEARS YOUNG -- JULY
2010
In 1888, E. M. Hughes of Albany, N.Y.
brought the first Belgian Hares
to America. Shortly after importing the Belgian Hares from the UK,
breeders formed the "AMERICAN BELGIAN
HARE ASSOCIATION". With wide scattered membership the club
lasted not much more then a year. In 1897 the "NATIONAL BELGIAN HARE
CLUB OF AMERICA" was
formed. Twelve years after the formation of the National Belgian
Hare Club of America, and as additional breeds were introduced in the
US, a new "all-breed" club , the "NATIONAL PET STOCK ASSOCIATION"
was formed. After several name changes, the National Pet Stock
Association became the AMERICAN
RABBIT BREEDERS ASSOCIATION. As years passed the National
Belgian Hare club of America also passed from existence. In June of
1972, a group of Belgian Hare breeders gathered together to apply for a
specialty club charter from the American Rabbit Breeders Association to
replace the National Belgian Hare Club of America. In July of 1972 the
charter was granted and our present club, the "AMERICAN BELGIAN HARE
CLUB" was
established.

2011 American Belgian Hare Nationals will be held in Canton, Ohio.
It will be held on the third Saturday in May along with a Speciality show.
On Sunday, Stark Co. will hold an all breed double show. That gives you
four times to show your Hares in one weekend. Start making plans now
to attend. Raffle items are always welcome. We are making plans for
dinner on Saturday evening, we will let you know when we have all the
details. Motel 6 on Sunset Strip has always been a good place to stay
for Nationals. Pets are OK. We will be posting hotels and prices as we
get them.
