EXHIBITING AND SELLING lar 



which is the leading organization of the 

 United States, and the one with which all 

 societies are affiliated. Registrars are estab- 

 lished in different parts of the country. The 

 breeders ship their animals to this man who 

 inspects them carefully, and if they prove sat- 

 isfactory as to physical features, etc., a registry 

 number is stamped on the ear. When a reg- 

 istered rabbit is purchased, the buyer feels 

 that the animal is practically guaranteed. 



It sometimes happens that a dispute arises 

 between buyers and sellers. In that case the 

 question at issue may be placed before a com- 

 plaint agent appointed for different sections. 

 His decision must be considered final by all 

 members of the National Association. 



The fee for registering a rabbit is one dol- 

 lar, and registrations must be sent to the sec- 

 retary of the association not later than thirty 

 days after the animal is registered. The ped- 

 igree of an animal to be registered must always 

 accompany the application. The pedigree is 

 the ancestral tree of the animal. It should 

 date back for three generations on each side,, 

 the name of each progenitor being given. A 

 pedigree is arranged as indicated below.
