Pedigreed Show Rabbits

There is something truly special about a well bred show rabbit. The result of careful, intentional breeding decisions made over generations — selecting for type, condition, fur quality, and adherence to the breed standard — a pedigreed show rabbit represents the very best that a dedicated breeder has to offer. At The Burrow Rabbitry in Xenia, Ohio, that is exactly what we strive to produce with every single litter we raise.

We specialize in two exceptional and distinct breeds — the classic, versatile New Zealand and the rare, stunning Silver Fox — and we are passionate about both. Whether you are a seasoned exhibitor looking to add quality animals to an established rabbitry, a young 4-H or FFA member just beginning your show rabbit journey, or someone who has always dreamed of getting into the hobby and does not know where to start, The Burrow is a place where you will be welcomed, supported, and set up for success.

Our New Zealand Rabbits are one of the most well respected and widely shown breeds in the American Rabbit Breeders Association, celebrated for their beautifully balanced body type, excellent muscle density, and consistent, reliable production. Our New Zealands are bred with a close eye on the ARBA standard of perfection — selecting for broad, well filled hindquarters, strong shoulders, a firm and well conditioned body, and a dense, flyback coat that presents beautifully on the judging table. These are serious show animals bred by people who take the standard seriously.

Our Silver Fox Rabbits are something truly rare and special. One of only a handful of breeds developed entirely in the United States, the Silver Fox is a heritage breed with a fascinating history and a devoted following among rabbit enthusiasts who appreciate both beauty and substance. Named for their striking resemblance to the fur of the Silver Fox, these rabbits carry a unique and breathtaking coat that stands straight up when stroked from tail to head and falls slowly back into place — a characteristic found in no other rabbit breed in the world. Beyond their extraordinary fur, Silver Fox Rabbits are gentle, calm, and wonderfully personable animals that are as enjoyable to own and handle as they are to show. As a relatively rare breed, our Silver Fox program is something we are particularly proud of and deeply committed to preserving and promoting.

Every rabbit that leaves The Burrow comes with a full pedigree documenting their lineage, giving you a clear and documented picture of the genetics behind your new animal. We breed with intention and select our breeding stock carefully, prioritizing health, temperament, and breed standard above all else. Our animals are raised with hands on handling from an early age, ensuring they are calm, comfortable with people, and ready to present their best selves on the judging table from day one.

We are also committed to supporting the people who purchase from us long after the sale is complete. Whether you have questions about show preparation, feeding, housing, or breeding decisions, we are always just a message away. We want every rabbit that carries The Burrow name to succeed in the show room, and we want every person who purchases from us to feel confident, supported, and excited about the journey ahead. That is just the kind of operation we are committed to running.

Availability varies by season and litter, so we encourage you to reach out early if you are looking for a specific breed, color, or age. We are happy to answer questions, share photos of available animals, and help you find the rabbit that is the right fit for your program or your family.
