Tamuk
Its a scam, ARBA doesn't recognize them because they have NEVER MADE A SOP AND APPLIED FOR A COD . In fact the modern breeder after thebproject was ended have put right fought AGAINST making a SOP and any kind if standard whichbtells me all I need to know about there breedig policy . they are different enough in shape, type they aren't new Zealand any more. Although honestly all they apparently succeeded in doing at Texas AM , was reinvent the American rabbit ... a madolin shapped, large thin eared rabbit . Who has decent heat tolerance already .. large litters . And decent growth rate ..
Modern a"TAMUK" breeders breed on paper pedigree and are not foscusing on any type of SOP or goals so . Sersly discussions i have gotten into these scammers stand on paper alone and not actually back up those claims with results .
honestly its become just another poor rabbit marketing gimmick like m80 or any number of pyramid schemes that have been prevalent for years as commercial rabbit scams . Every modern "TAMUK" I have seen is rangy, has poor fur quality and isnt any better then a standard meat mutt. the vast majority of people who have them arnt professional breeders they don't focus on trait selection and just volume which only gets you mediocre rabbits in the long run .
