    So cute..Thanks for sharing.
    we had a bunny once, but it got bit by a horsefly and the larva that the fly laid killed it..so sad. Petunia was her name.

    Thanks for sharing. So, in a nutshell, how to they judge bunnies? It is kind of like dogs (I'm guessing you don't run them around a ring, lol) with a breed standard, etc.?

    @Nemo:

    Yea it is similar to dogs with some of the language. Each breed does have a standard and they are judged on how close to that standard the animal achieves.
    There are different groupings of rabbits such as fancy rabbits, or those that are posed (ex: Britannia petite). And runners, which are bunnies who are shown based on not only their looks, but how they move across a table (ex: tans)
    Then there are of course the meat breeds which are used for consumption and plenty self explanatory

    Fascinating. I sometimes forget people show animals other than dogs. There must be shows for every type of animal…

    Now I'm envisioning killer whale and giant squid shows...
