Awhile ago someone posted something about being able to show new colors/breeds at ARBA so long as you have a written standard, but they can't compete for BOB/BIS. So does this mean there doesn't have to be a COD for the color or breed?

The reason I'm asking is because I have raised Steel Mini Rex in the past and have one currently that I'd like to show.

I think they mean a copy of the COD when they say 'written standard'. Wouldn't make sense if each exhibitor could bring their own standard.

That's what I was thinking. It sounded a little off the wall to me. :lol:

Shows can accept entries from ANY breed, ANY color, at their discretion. YES- you can show a made up breed or color with your own made up standard, IF the sponsoring club will accept your entry. There does NOT need to be a COD out for the breed/color, IF the show will allow it. They usually do, because they want your entry fee!

However, shows are required to accept entries that have a COD out. If the ARBA has accepted a showing of a breed/color, you must use the accepted standard.

At least I'm pretty sure that's how it goes.

Yeah here it is in the ARBA show rules. www.arba.net/PDFs/show_rules.pdf

SECTION 28. Chartered clubs must accept all breeds, which are recognized in the ARBA Standard of Perfection, except, however, National, State, and Local Specialty Clubs, must accept only the breed(s) they sponsor (Angoras and Lops on all sponsored breeds, and cavies covering themselves).
(A) All breeds and varieties that are covered by an official working standard (as described in the ARBA Standard of Perfection) must be accepted for exhibition and showing. (1) Such exhibits will not compete for sweepstake points or other awards.
(B) Acceptance of breeds and varieties without an ARBA official working standard is reserved to the show management. (1) The exhibitor must provide the proposed standard to the judge and show committee. (2) Such exhibits shall not compete for sweepstake points or other specials.

Hmm....So I would be able to show him. Thanks Ellyn!! :)

I love his color, and have wanted to promote the color but didn't really know how. I think this maybe a good idea. :)

I want to hear your experience, like how it works in the showroom. Let me know!

Well Briana will be the one showing him, I'm still in KY, but I'll let ya know how it works. ;)

I may not show him and just breed him, then show his offspring. I didn't realize how old he was when I posted that earlier. :)

My Broken Red doe will produce Steels when bred to him, so maybe I'll have Bri breed him to her next.

How would it work if I were to show a Broken Steel?

I think you would show him in Broken, obviously, and then still provide the standard.

:lol: Yep, but would they be separate from the rest of the brokens?

I don't think so. You wouldn't separate Steel from Agouti/AOV (or whatever they fall under) would you? Like Orange, they are AOV for JW, and they would be shown with AOV with the standard at hand.

Hmm - I don't think a broken steel would be allowed to compete against the regular brokens. That's a really good question. I'd email ARBA on that one! I'd be really interested to hear the answer. I believe that if you are presenting a new color at convention where the breed already recognizes broken, your presentation animals can be broken {whatever it is}. Not 100% sure on that though.

Bri should print out a copy of the show rules. Here in Michigan they're pretty up on those things, but it never hurts to have the documentation there. And it doesn't say they MUST let your bunny show, just that they can. ;-)
