Narrow down your choices by posing the rabbits, feeling their bodies, and assessing the quality of their conformation, fur, and color. Also take note of whether the rabbit has a good temperament or not. It's difficult to interact with a  rabbit with a poor temperament day after day. Do not purchase a young rabbit as a show animal, as the breeder has no way of knowing whether the animal will develop well or not at this young age. Anything sold at 8 weeks old is likely to be pet quality.  Some questions to ask yourself when assessing the rabbits for sale include: Is it friendly? Does it come and greet you or does it run and hide? Does it have a good weight and glossy, healthy coat? Will it allow you to flip it over? But most importantly, does this rabbit fit the breed standard, and is it an excellent example of how its breed is meant to look? Avoid buying rabbits listed as "4-H quality", as these rabbits are typically pet quality rabbits that the breeder is trying to get a higher price for. Pet the rabbit and inspect its fur. In many breeds, the fur should snap back into position when you stroke it backwards (tail to head). The fur should also be soft, free of knots or mats, and there should be no bald spots on the rabbit. Each breed has different fur requirements called for in the breed standard, so be knowledgeable about what your breed's fur should look and feel like before assessing a rabbit's fur. Check the Standard of Perfection for rules on fur for the breed you are getting before you pick a rabbit. The rules could include coat length, color, and pattern requirements. Check that the undercolor is correct, and that all markings are the right size, shape, and color. A good show rabbit should have eyes that are clean, free of discharge, and bright. The color of the eyes should also conform to the standard for the breed. The nose should not be runny, and its top teeth should overlap its bottom teeth. Also, its ears should be parasite and wax free, so look inside them while assessing a potential rabbit to bring home. Any sign of illness should be enough to eliminate a potential rabbit. You want to bring home a rabbit the is in perfect health, so a runny nose or gooey eyes should not be tolerated. Its back should be strong and firm, not bony, lumpy or crooked. The rabbit’s body should be firm, not soft and flabby. The legs should be straight. Every rabbit should have five toes on the front feet and four on the back feet and all the toenails should be present.  Some rabbits have different shaped backs and may feel skinnier than others, so check the Standard of Perfection (SOP) or ARBA website for the details. There should be white toenails on white breeds and varieties and colored toenails on colored breeds or varieties. In a very young rabbit, the body might not be very firm, but it should not be flabby. Listen to the rabbit's breathing. The rabbit should have very quiet breathing. It should also have firm, dry stools, so try to inspect its feces as well. Overall, there should be no signs of illness or injury.  Rabbits do sometimes get urination stains on their feet. This does not mean they're sick. It is important not to buy a sick rabbit. It can infect your whole rabbitry and can lead to heartbreak down the road if the rabbit doesn't survive or is in pain due to illness. Know about the best lines in your breed. Keep in mind that even rabbits with multiple legs (awards) can be poor quality, so it is better to know lines than wins. If everything with a rabbit looks good, ask to see the rabbit’s parents and/or offspring, if possible. Make sure the rabbit you buy has a pedigree.  Just because you get a rabbit that has show winners in its pedigree, that doesn't automatically mean that your rabbit will be a winner as well. However, it may increase your chances of having a winner. You will need to have a pedigree for your rabbit to register it with ARBA, and to breed it. You do not have to have a pedigree to show, but you must to register your rabbit as a Grand Champion if it wins 3 GC legs. Make sure to get a copy when you purchase your rabbit. Do not leave this until later. Most breeders do this themselves. You must have a tattooed number or letter sequence if you are to show in ARBA shows. This gets written on the pedigree so you can identify your rabbits easily. At rabbits shows, there may be eighty rabbits of the same breed and color, and you don’t want to get yours swapped up with someone else’s. The tattoos help to keep the rabbits straight.

Assess the rabbits for sale. Check the rabbit's coat. Look at the rabbit's the face. Assess the rabbit's body. Assess the rabbit's health. Discuss the rabbit's pedigree. Have your rabbit tattooed, if it isn't tattooed already.
