GUINEA PIG AND RABBIT CLUB FOR EXHIBITION AND ADVICE IN WHANGAREI

The Northern Rabbit and Cavy Club formed in 2011 in Whangarei, Northland and is for people to exhibit their Guinea Pigs (cavy) and Rabbits in Pedigree and Pet shows.

We are a family friendly, social club and are all about everyone having a great time.  Our club is an affiliated club to the New Zealand Cavy Judges Association who meets our high standards, values and equality for the showing of pedigree cavies.

Exhibiting guinea pigs or rabbits is a rewarding, challenging and fun hobby and is great for people of all ages.  A lovely way to bond with your pets and to keep an eye on their health and hopefully win some titles, championship points, ribbons and prizes together.

Don't miss out on the Fancy Dress Competitions, Pet Shows and Pedigree Shows.

NEW ZEALAND CAVY JUDGES ASSOCIATION

The New Zealand Cavy Judges Association (NZCJA) was formed when purebred cavies were first imported into New Zealand by Jack Whitworth in 1976.  Jack began to train judges to the English standard and the association was formed as a result.  NZCJA judges have been officiating at New Zealand cavy shows ever since.

Independent New Zealand Cavy Clubs are clubs which continue to hold shows under the rules and standards of the New Zealand Cavy Judges Association and are the only cavy clubs that continue to support our New Zealand unique and rare pedigree breeds, and the exhibitors who wish to breed and show them.

The Northern Rabbit and Cavy Club believes every pedigree breed deserves to have equal status, rights and opportunities for exhibition at cavy shows.

Our club is devoted to advocate and celebrate New Zealand unique and rare pedigree guinea pig (cavy) breeds.

We use the word 'unique' to describe pedigree breeds that were created in New Zealand by New Zealanders and achieved full show standards.

Our unique guinea pig breeds are New Zealand Plume, Tweed, Panda, New Zealand Peruvian and Bonnet.   Additionally, we support any rare breeds when needed, like the Dark Eyed White.
