Shows - Before you begin...
Before you begin, take a moment to review the rabbits in your rabbitry. Make sure you have selected the "Showable" check box for all the rabbits you wish to add to your show entries. The picture below shows Dan's Corkie. Notice that the "Showable" check box is selected (green rectangular box).
List Show Rabbits
|
Bunny Trails has the ability to generate a listing of all the rabbits in your barn who you consider to be show worthy. So, any rabbit you wish to take to a show now or in the future, should be selected as "Showable" (picture to the left) on that rabbit's detail record.
Please Note: If you don't select a rabbit as "Showable", Bunny Trails will not include that rabbit in the "Show Rabbits List." Also, when you are putting together a show entry, only "Showable" rabbits will be available to add to the show entry. If you would like to see a complete listing of show rabbits in your barn, click the button (pictured to the left) entitled "List Show Rabbits." The "Show Rabbits List" (pictured below) will appear. |
To print a List of Your Show Rabbits, select the "List Show Rabbits" button on the Home Screen.
This list gives you a nice overview of each showable rabbit with his/ her wins and points. It also provides a grand total of each win category at the bottom of the screen.

Entry Form and Comment Card Labels

Well, to add to that list, we have an "Entry Form" and "Comment Card Label" option within the "Show Details" window. In the Show Details window, locate the "Entry Form" and "Labels - Avery 5161" buttons. Entry Form - You can see a sample entry form below. It contains all the information a show secretary will need to successfully enter your rabbits. If you plan to enter a rabbit in the Fur competition, simply click the box in the Fur column. This action will recalculate the form and add the fees for the fur competition. Please Note: The entry form will automatically adjust to the specific varieties, classes and colors as called for in the Standard Of Perfection (SOP).

If you print using the recommended Avery 5161 labels, you can peel these off and apply them to the tops of the comment cards. The should be an exact fit! |
Sample Show Entry Form
Bump a Rabbit Up in a Class
Bunny Trails allows you to bump a rabbit's class for a show. For example, if you are entering a rabbit in an upcoming show and the day you send the entry in s/he is a junior. However, before the show takes place, the rabbit turns senior, you can bump him/her up to a senior class by clicking on the rabbit's class on the entry form (as seen below).
