I went to a big agricultural show which had all sorts of animals there on show. I didn't see the rabbits being judged, I think I was too late for that (or distracted by taking photos of the rabbits and rats)
I remembered from the discussion of netherland dwarfs and their flat faces and found 3 interesting black netherlands.
This one had the longest face out of the three.
This one had a slightly flatter face.
I couldn't believe how flat this one was
I'm sure you can guess which one won?
And the one with the longest face didn't place at all.
Now it could mean that the other two had a better body, ears, eyes, coat ect or the longer nosed one was disqualified/lost marks for something. But it still saddens me that even after pedigree dog exposed, that rabbit breeders are just as blinded to the faults of their animals as those dog breeders are.
I was happy to see that most of the rabbits had hay and all had a water bottle. I think it should be a show requirement for all rabbits being shown to have at least a handful of hay at all times.
Don't get me started on the pigeons! :shock: Which I think I'll post in another thread :lol:
