Senarai baka arnab

Setakat tahun 2017, terdapat sekurang-kurangnya 305 baka arnab peliharaan di 70 buah negara di dunia. Satu baka arnab mempunyai perbezaan ketara melalui pembiakan terpilih (atau kadang kala pemilihan semulajadi) untuk ciri-ciri khas, termasuk saiz, bulu (panjang, kualiti atau warna), nisbah pengubahan makanan, penyesuaian cuaca, atau perangai. Kumpulan-kumpulan seperti Persatuan Pembiak Arnab Amerika (ARBA) dan Majlis Arnab Britain (BRC) untuk mengkoordinasi dan mempiawaikan kualiti yang diinginkan untuk baka-baka mereka, melalui promosi dan pameran. Setiap baka arnab dianggap membawa manfaat apabila penternak dengan reputasi berusaha untuk mencipta tujuan pembiakkan, sering kali ditakrifkan oleh standard baka individu yang mana mungkin akan diadili. Kepelbagaian baka global mencerminkan keluasan kualiti unik arnab. Berikut disenaraikan 191 baka arnab moden di dunia.

Scope 
The table of modern-day rabbit breeds includes those that are:

 recognized as a distinct breed by ARBA, the BRC, or another country's established organization for the national promotion of rabbit breeds,
 recognized as "in development" for potential formal recognition (as judged by multiple authoritative sources), or
 recognized as a distinct breed that resulted from natural selection (as judged by pertinent authoritative sources).

Terminology

Confusion sometimes arises regarding the name of a rabbit breed versus the name of a rabbit's color/pattern (or fur type). For example, Harlequin is the name of a breed whose color/pattern is known as harlequin. (This usage may have arisen from the Harlequin character, who, like this rabbit, always wears a motley-colored check-patterned coat—and suggests that the rabbit may be equally impish.) The harlequin color/pattern is found now in a different breed of rabbit: the Tri-Colour Dutch, also known as the Harlequin Dutch. Such evolutions in terminology pertain also to some fur types, where (for example) the Rex breed has rex fur, one new variety of which appears in the unusually "rexed" Astrex rabbit breed.

It is sometimes difficult to ascertain which came first, the breed name or the color/pattern name (or fur-type name).  What is certain is that in such situations the two at some point were synonymous but subsequent developments in other breeds (likely hinging on similar genetic changes) have caused the terms to diverge.

The definition of a distinct breed relies on clusters of complex individual gene-sets—clusters that may include the gene-set for a body type, the gene-set for an ear type, the gene-set for a color/pattern, and/or the gene-set for a fur type.  The determination of when a group of rabbits is considered to have become a new breed (as a result of overarching genetic distinction) is left, in the following table, to the authority of ARBA, the BRC, or other reputable source.

Extinct rabbit breeds 

Certain rabbit breeds, though now extinct, contributed strongly to the development of a modern-day breed. Little may be known of the extinct breed and in some cases the only records are extracts in old breed books.
