Rowan was rung too...but i think you cant show them if you werent the original owner, as you have to have official ownership transferred to you from the breeder :? and it is difficult to find out who the breeder was as the BRC apparently wont tell you.
thank-you that webbie was very help-ful and i know alot about showing cavies so rabbits should be no differentBavarian Bunny said:Have a look on this website, they tell you a bit more about Dutch bunnies:

It sounds as if it is quite difficult to breed the "ideal" Dutch rabbit, which means you'd have a lot of non showable babies that need a good home. If you want just one rabbit to show, I'd go to a GOOD breeder and talk to them about it, and maybe they can sell you one. Have you tried the BRC website? They have lists of breeders all over the UK. Or try with Google.
My local rescue has several Dutch bunnies at the moment, some of them are babies. You never know, you may find a perfectly marked Dutch in a rescue. But I don't know the rules for showing, maybe a buck needs to have his plums still in place and a metal ring around his leg. Dutch bunnies are not easy to sell, a lot of people want lop eared bunnies or lionheads, so please think hard before you start breeding.
