What we do

The ASRBA is the official national specialty for both the Satin and Mini Satin breeds, otherwise known as: “The Team with Sheen”Whether you are a seasoned breeder of Mini Satins and Satins or new to the world of rabbit breeders, you are welcome here.

From rabbits with ‘heft’ to ‘fancier’ types, or maybe a little bit of both, Satins and/or Mini Satins will fit the bill! Both breeds feature the unique, smooth and glossy transparent hair shaft that is what puts the ‘Satin’ in Satins and Mini Satins.

MINI SATINS
