About the Breed
The Palomino is a medium-sized commercial breed with ideal weights ranging from 9 to 10 lbs. They are well-suited for show and exhibition. Originally dubbed the "Washingtonian" by the breed's developer - Mark Youngs of Coulee Dam, Washington State, Pals were first presented in 1952 at the ARBA National Convention held in Portland, Oregon. At that time suggestions were taken for a better moniker to apply to this developing breed and 'Palomino' was adopted as the official designation. After much hard work and dedication, the Palomino was officially recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Association, Inc. in 1957. (A more comprehensive history of the Palomino breed can be accessed on the 'History' page of this website.)
There are two beautiful varieties accepted in Pals today: Golden and Lynx. The breed is known for its hardiness, excellent production qualities, and rapid growth. It is a breed equally suited for either meat production or exhibition.
