Rabbit Royalty Competition Research Paper

Breeding and showing rabbits can help build a child's self confidence and develop into a lifelong hobby. Doing showmanship or the royalty contest for rabbits is a huge confidence builder. A child in a youth program will learn how to study and manage time around their schedule to handle and care for their rabbits. When a child is entered into the youth portion of the American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA), they are invited into an association that develops into a lifelong family. This family of rabbit owners is very supportive and helpful to all, especially young rabbit showpeople, offering aid and advice.

All this knowledge must be studied and memorized on the member's own time. A youth member has to learn how to manage their time between studying for the Royalty and caring for their rabbits. A youth member must be aware when breeding their rabbits to expand their herd. They must know the doe, or female, must be taken to the bucks or male's cage, otherwise the doe may beat up the buck for being in her
