Hi all.
I am planning to attend the show.
I'm wondering if there will be other REX or Harlequin breeders there.

Well... I did my first show!
We were a VERY small category with only 3 Magpie Harlequin and 2 Japanese Harlequin.
I did get great feedback from the judges and the other breeder!
My Juniors (buck and doe) had great type.
They were a bit "smutty", so I need to work on crisper black and white (lav/white, choc/white, blue/white) definition.
The judges liked my Jr. Buck better than the Japanese Jr. Buck only because his type was better.
So I am going to be working to keep my type good (Commercial) and crisping up my colour divisions.... Hunting for a buck that is 50% or more black (my girls are lightly marked) with good crisp lines.
I was told the patterning would come if I focus on those two items first.
