Hello!
As a bilingual person who does most of my research in English, I see most information about rabbit breeding goes back to ARBA, its standards and its shows, even outside the USA.
Much to my surprise when I tried to research the equivalent of ARBA and its shows in Argentina I hit... nothing. Well, I learned that to show rabbits I need to tattoo them with the number from a registrar that is mentioned a grand total of three times on the whole internet.
I will spare you the many details, but let's say that whatever structure or standards there are, they are aimed only at big industrial farms and not available to the general public.
Thinking about it, I wondered how breeders in more structured places would act in such a situation, and I'd like to hear your opinions.
If YOUR country was sort of "Free for all", shows banished and ARBA/your country's standards suddenly meant nothing to your peers, would you do anything different? Would you pick a foreign standard to adhere to? Would you make different decisions when choosing your culls? Would you try to create structure?
