ARBA BoB Rabbit Quality Goes to Indonesia

In a previous post about rabbit organizations in Indonesia (see here), there is one rabbit organization in Indonesia specializing in rabbits contest. They had several times brought rabbits from America to Indonesia. Until now it was already six times the American Rabbit Breeder Association sends the rabbits with BoB quality to Indonesia. This move was a success, because the offspring of rabbits brought in from ARBA often become champions in the rabbit contests that held in several regions in Indonesia.

Here are some photos of the rabbits that was imported from the United State :
