National Stud Prefix Database
A Free service offered by ANRCI to all Rabbit Clubs in Australia. Most Clubs offer a Stud name Registration Service for a small fee.
We only supply the basic information here due to privacy laws .If you wish to contact a Prefix on this list they can be contacted at there registered club and only if the club has been granted permission.
DATABASE UPDATED AS AT 28/11/2021
In the past the Club kept a record of their own registrations and many Clubs insisted that you register your stud name with them if you wanted to show at their Club shows. This sometimes meant that people had to pay a registration fee to several Clubs in order to use their stud name at shows.
Also there was no easy way to check with other Clubs that no-one else had already registered your Stud Name - thus resulting in the same or very similar stud names being used across Australia.
With this National Stud Prefix Database we hope that this will now be prevented.
Registering a Stud Name is still the responsibility of your Local Club. Exhibitors need to apply to their local Club using the appropriate form and paying a fee. We have uploaded on the website a suggested form that a Club might use.
Most Clubs suggest that you offer several choices of name in case your first choice is already taken.
A local Club should then conduct due diligence in checking that the suggested stud prefix is not being used by another stud. This can be done by checking the ANRCI National Stud Prefix database or conducting a google search.
As soon as possible after accepting a Stud Prefix a Club should notify ANRCI so that the database can be updated.
ANRCI will accept Stud Prefix's from all Clubs and can also accept from individuals so long as their Stud Name is registered with a Rabbit Club and they use the appropriate Form.
These Rules are in the ANRCI Show Rules and so should be recognised by all Affiliated Clubs.
2.1 A stud prefix (not being a properly registered trade mark) shall not be recognised unless duly registered with an affiliated Club. Clubs must check the ANRCI National Stud Name database before accepting a Stud Name for registration.
2.2 Once this Stud Name is registered with ANRCI it shall be recognized by all other affiliated Clubs throughout Australia.
2.3 Individual Members shall have the privilege of registering a prefix subject to the approval of the Committee of Management. These Members must be a member of a recognized Rabbit Club. A person who is not a member of a recognized Rabbit Club cannot register their Stud Name with ANRCI.
2.4 Any stud name used at an ANRCI supported show must be registered with the ANRCI before use.
2.5 No member except the person in whose name a prefix is registered shall be allowed to use it.
2.6 Any stud prefix shall seek to avoid national duplication, including not being too
similar to any other stud prefix previously registered, as deemed by the Committee
of Management. It shall be no more than 2 words, be deemed not offensive by the
Committee of Management, shall not be the name of a famous person and shall not
be a registered trademark.
2.7 In the event of the same Stud Name being registered in two different states, the Stud Name must have its state of Registration placed in brackets beside the stud name at all times that it is being used. This will only apply to Stud Names registered with ANRCI when the National Database is set up.
2.8 All stud prefixes registered by the ANRCI shall be operative on and after approval is granted.
2.9 The Committee of Management reserves the right to cancel the use of a Stud prefix at any time and should such action be taken, the Individual Member shall not be entitled to the repayment of any registration paid in respect thereof.
2.10 The right to hold and use a registered Stud Prefix shall terminate immediately upon the Committee of Management being satisfied that there is in existence a properly registered trade mark of the same name likely to cause confusion with the one registered with the ANRCI and in such event, the Individual Member whose registered Stud Prefix ceases, shall not be entitled to the repayment of any registration paid in respect thereof.
Open file to check out the list of over 1000 names to see if yours is there ,if not you can do one of two things contact your club to have them contact us or fill out the form and we can do that for you.
If you find your name here and it appears with a state code after it that means there's a duplication and you will need to add that to all your name uses to save confusion.
And if your thinking of a name please check this list first it may save you the heartache if its already being used, Thankyou.
