Rabbit show

Exhibitors display rabbits at shows for prize money and other awards.

[5] Rabbit shows are associated largely with the ARBA, originally founded in 1910 as the National Pet Stock Association,[6] but various breeds have been raised for exhibition throughout the 19th century,[7][8] starting in England with the formation of the first rabbit club in 1840.

Shows sanctioned by the ARBA are judged based on the Standard of Perfection.

These criteria are specific to the breed of rabbit being shown, and shown rabbits in a breed are further divided into judging classes by their variety, age, and sex.

[5] In addition to any particular characteristics of a breed, shown rabbits are judged based on the following criteria:[10] As part of the process, exhibitors themselves may be judged on their appearance and their own rabbit knowledge through a quiz.
