Our Affiliations
The Northern Rabbit and Cavy Club proudly operates as an independent organisation for pedigree and pet small animals. By collaborating within the Independent Cavy Clubs platform, we champion a system built entirely on transparency, equal opportunity, and high ethical standards.
This independence grants our club the structural flexibility to focus on education, healthy sportsmanship, and ensuring a welcoming, fair competitive arena for every exhibitor, every breeder, and all recognised pedigree breeds. We firmly believe in absolute equality across the fancy. We don't exclude any breeds, and we are particularly proud to continue to provide a fair platform that welcomes and celebrates homegrown rare Kiwi breeds.
For our rabbit competitors, this same commitment to professional, community-focused standards is mirrored through our formal national affiliation with Rabbits United New Zealand (RUNZ).
The NZ Unique and Rare Guinea Pigs Club
The Northern Rabbit and Cavy Club proudly supports the NZ Unique and Rare Guinea Pigs Club. This vital national organisation protects and promotes New Zealand’s rarest, homegrown pedigree guinea pig breeds, ensuring these extraordinary local variations do not disappear.
Most of our local guinea pig breeds exist nowhere else in the world. The club acts as a genetic safeguard and educational hub, championing high standards and unbiased exhibition platforms to protect our living Kiwi heritage. Our Unique Kiwi Breeds: NZ Plume, Tweed, Panda, NZ Peruvian and Bonnet.
Help us safeguard these rare treasures and access specialised breeding advice. Visit the NZ Unique and Rare Guinea Pigs Club to learn more.
