All about the American Belgian Hare Club
AMERICAN BELGIAN HARE CLUB
35
YEARS YOUNG --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 formed.
