Can i show rabbits with breeding them?
Yes, you can show rabbits without getting involved in a breeding program. What you need to do first is figure out which breed you want to show and which breeds are mostly shown in the area that you live in. Then, you want to read up on rabbit care prior to getting the rabbit. Once you understand the basics of rabbit care, you will want to contact a breeder in your area that is registered with the http://www.arba.net/ in order to find a rabbit the is more suitable for show. Most breeders do not mind you contacting them and asking them questions and some often have children that are involved in show themselves. You may also want to check out a show in your area to give you an idea of what happens at the shows and what standards the judges are looking for with the particular breed you choose. You will need housing for your rabbit, as well as food, timothy hay, toys, water bottles and dishes, etc. The Netherland Dwarf breed is my favorite.
