We have several American Argente Brun Breeders out there with babies in the box, or ready to sell.
Our club members are always willing to promote the Argente Brun.
If looking for breeding stock, check with a member of the AABRC club to see if they know someone reputable who does have breeding stock.
In the Pacific Northwest, there is Rick & Char Wardrop. The COD holders of the American Argente Brun rabbit and on the BOD of the AABRC rabbit club.
