Would love to hear feedback from anyone but especially from those that have experience showing or judging Mini Lops.
Though we've been raising them a bit we are new to show rabbits.
I want to keep one of these 3 does to possibly show, but definitely to breed in the future.
Please keep in mind I am not experienced posing rabbits, let alone 5 week old ones that don't want to hold still. I'm learning as I go. I did what I could. The third one was not cooperative so the picture isn't great.
First shot of each is just to show face/head.

The solid seems to have the best shoulder. Was the first one fighting you while posing?

The solid chestnut is the one we've been leaning towards. I wanted to see if others leaned towards that one too. I agree that it has better shoulders - assuming this means they are not as narrow correct?
I took a new picture of the broken today, as yes it was resisting me yesterday, but it did the same today. Probably no point in adding a new photo.
It seems to me that the solid has a better overall roundness (do you agree?) where the others have more tear drop shape. It also has a bigger face/head in comparison to the others (like her Daddy).
A bonus too is she seems to have her Dad's laidback personality. <br /><br /> __________ Thu Apr 30, 2015 9:26 am __________ <br /><br /> *** on another note, any thoughts on this chestnut buckling?
Am I posing them at all right?

(sorry for the shadow)

Based upon the pictures, I would choose the 2nd or 3rd doe. If you work with them daily, they will adjust to being posed and it will be easier to see what traits they have. :)

Thank you AprilW! I appreciate your feedback! I definitely am going to start working with them! This made me realize how important that is.
Thanks again!
