Well, It is way better to have pedigree's for an ARBA show. If you realize how much work the show secretaries have, then you would be kind enough NOT to bring an un-pedigreed rabbit to a show. It just creates a whole lot more work for the secretary.
That is a Broken Tort mini lop. He is a cutie.
What kind of showing is your neighbor interested in?, if she's interested in the ARBA (American Rabbit Breeders Association) then she wont be able to use him. If he is a rescue he wouldn't have any pedigree. I know he looks purebred, but to show...
