Credit to Lisa Wilson with a great explanation about SANCTIONING a breed for a show.
Q: Can I show my breed if it isn't sanctioned?
A: Yes! All recognized ARBA can be shows and do not have to be sanctioned with the national breed club.
Q: So why would you pay extra to sanction a breed with the national breed club?
A: National club for that breed gets a sanction for a show, the send numbers to the secretary. After the show the secretary sends them a report of who showed and how the placed and how many points they earned. National club keeps up with members points for the year and has awards based on points.
Q: What if I don't belong to the national club for my breed?
A: First I would say join it! Second if you are not a member there is no reason for you to sanction your breed for points.
Q: Can I earn awards and ARBA legs if my breed isn't sanctioned with the National Club?
A: Yes sanctioning with the national club has nothing to do with a rabbit winning legs! Those are ARBA rules to follow to earn legs. (Note the show must be ARBA sanctioned to earn legs)
Q: How do I know how much it costs to sanction my breed with the national club?
A: go to your national clubs web page and find the sanction form, on this form it tells you how much each show costs: Example: Flemish giants are 10.00 per show for open and 8.00 per show for youth. Or 15.00 per combo of youth and open.
SO our show is a single friday night and triple saturday: To sanction flemish for friday night in open is 10.00 then saturday with 3 shows is 30.00 more so total is 40.00
Q: Who pulls the sanctions?
A: Normally the club secretary (Note not the show secretary the club secretary) Most clubs will handle the sanctions and send them in 30 days before the show.
Camping: Camping spots are available (Full Hookups)
Rate per night TBA.

We look forward to having you all join us. 😊
