2017 ARBA Convention Results Indianapolis

Last Updated on July 20, 2022 by The Rabbit Smarties Team

Well the 2017 National Rabbit Show has entered into the realm of memory at last. 20,000+ rabbits, 5,000 exhibitors and hundreds more attendees. Years of preparation and uncounted hours of work. Stress. Giggles. Friends. Connections. Bunnies. Lots and lots of Bunnies.

We’re posting ARBA Convention Results here as we come across them. In addition, you can watch our Tuesday recap video of convention, which includes quite a bit of footage of the Best in Show selection. In fact, watch the REW in the bottom cage next to judge Wade Burkhalter as he announces the youth BIS. It looks like the bunny throws confetti. 😀
