You don't need a pedigreed rabbit to show. Just a purebred one ; ) (however most quality purebred rabbits come with pedigrees. They usually show good record keeping, and most breeders that do well have good record keeping.). My advice would just be to go to a show and check it out, try to find experienced breeders of your breed to talk to. arba.net has a listing of all the shows in US/canada and you can contact the club for further information about when and where it is. If you have any more specific questions I'd be happy to answer them, I've been showing for quite some time (I'm a judge) One piece of advice I will give though is to NOT buy young baby rabbits when you are new to showing. They change a lot as they grow and its hard to tell what they'll grow up like when they're young, even for experienced breeders. It's better to spend a bit extra and buy older stock to start showing (6+months for most breeds, some with big heads like hollands and dwarfs can take a bit longer to mature).
