you can get rabbits from shows and breeders. what size of rabbit does she want. I recommend a holland lop or a mini rex

Many breeders out there with show rabbits. All you have to do is do a search in your area.

My recommendation for a 7 year old to start showing is a Holland Lop. They are very sweet bunnies and are basically bred for good temperament. But remember there is no guarantee. You need to look at the parents of the bunny and the breeder.

Good Luck. Let us know how you make out.

X2 on Lionheads being not recognized as show rabbits. Though there are people out there trying hard to get this breed notice, which it should be. Lionheads, like angora rabbits do need maintenance. I don't know about high maintenance but with a regiment set, I hear it's really easy, plus rewarding (spending time with bunny). I didn't go lionhead because yes I will admit, a bit lazy. And to be honest, never had a bunny and didn't really know much about them. But now that I have dipped my foot into the bunny pool, I'm kind of rethinking. Maybe as my next pet?

Here's a thread you can start with. http://www.backyardherds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=8658

What you need to think about for your rabbit is a cage that he/she can stretch completely out to lay down and also be able to stand without hitting their head or ears.

Hope this helps.
