Welcome to the Co. Down Rabbit and Cavy Club NI
A friendly, passionate community for rabbit and guinea pig (cavy) enthusiasts across County Down and beyond. Whether you're a seasoned breeder, a keen exhibitor, or simply love these charming animals, our club offers a welcoming space for everyone to connect, learn, and share their passion.
We host regular shows throughout the year, providing opportunities for members and the public to showcase their animals, meet fellow enthusiasts, and celebrate the highest standards in care and presentation. Our events are open to all, from experienced competitors to curious newcomers and we’re always happy to help first-timers get involved.
At the heart of our club is a commitment to promoting responsible ownership, education, and the joy these small animals bring into our lives. We warmly encourage new members from the public to join us, attend our events, and become part of our growing community.
Come along, meet new friends, and discover the rewarding world of rabbits and cavies with us!
