A rabbit show is a type of animal show where rabbits are exhibited. Most rabbit exhibitions are sanctioned by the American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA),[1] which recognizes 52 breeds in its Standard of Perfection 2021–2025.[2] Rabbit show jumping, also known as rabbit hopping or rabbit agility, is a performance sport developed in the 1970s based on horse jumping[3] and is distinct from traditional rabbit shows.[4]
History
[edit]Rabbit shows are associated largely with the ARBA, originally founded in 1910 as the National Pet Stock Association,[5] but various breeds have been raised for exhibition throughout the 19th century.[6][7]
