how to turn a hobby into a profession

[golden rabbitry]

I want to get out of backyard breeding and into shows as a teen so I can sell as a professional. I don't even know here to start. My main breeding pair is a pedigreed Holland lop doe and a non pedigreed Holland lop male.

look on the ARBA site, find shows in your area, and go! meet people in your breed, make relationships with other breeders, and start being picky about your rabbits!

are there like qualifications to go to a show or something like that? cause i can't find much anything on their site

the only thing you need is a rabbit that fits the standard for its breed and has a tattoo in its left ear. the club putting on the show will often have a catalogue that outlines the rules and where you can send your entries, etc. the nature trail has a pretty good series outlining everything about rabbit shows: http://www.thenaturetrail.com/showing-rabbits/
