The rabbit must be purebred and a breed and variety (color) that is recognized by the ARBA. The rabbit must meet all senior breed requirements and may not have any disqualifications. The rabbit must be considered by the registrar to be a good sound specimen that represents the breed well. The standard for each breed is outlined in the ARBA Standard of Perfection and is available for purchase online through their website.
