What is showmanship?
• Watch a video of a rabbit show What is a Rabbit Show? If it is a Saturday or Sunday, chances are you can find a rabbit show somewhere in the United States. In California alone, there are over 100 rabbit shows each year. Most Rabbit Clubs will schedule two shows on the same day which allows each Rabbit Class to be judged by two separate judges. Rabbit owners will exchange bunny stories, tips, make friends, buy and sell bunnies, compete and improve breeds. Most local shows have several hundred to several thousand rabbits. National conventions usually have more than 10,000. Go to top What rabbits can I show? The American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) encourages the showing of purebred and pedigreed rabbits, but rabbits do not have to be purebred or pedigreed to be shown. A casual show exhibitor can have as much fun in a rabbit show as a serious competitor. Go to top How Are Rabbits Judged? The standard for judging rabbits is the “Standard of Perfection,” which is published by ARBA.
