The sport grew throughout Sweden and several rabbit jumping clubs were formed to support the growing interest.

[5] The Sveriges Kaninhoppares Riksförbund (Swedish Federation of Rabbit Jumping) was established on September 3, 1994.

The AHARC held the very first official national competition in the United States during the 2011 ARBA Convention in Indianapolis, IN.

[13] The world record for the highest rabbit jump is 107 cm (42.1 in), and was achieved in March 2023 by Holloway GtCh Tennessine, owned by Marie Kozubková from Czech Republic.

[14] As of June 2019, Miss Pinky's Grand Champion Harajuku "Dobby", owned by Julia Samson from Sweden, holds the world record for longest jump, at 301 cm (9.88 ft), achieved in August 2017.

The ideal jumping rabbit has long legs and a medium-long back, which will help it correctly judge the height and length of obstacles.

In the case of slender bone structures, such as the Belgian Hare, the legs should be strong and muscular so high jumps will not hurt them.

In Scandinavia, where rabbit show jumping has a strong base, most are crossbreeds, bred with good jumpers as parents, similar to the method of breeding lurchers, deliberately crossbred racing dogs.
