First of all, I want to apologize for the inconvenience of having to go through links to view these pictures.
I am going to get a trio, or perhaps 1 buck and 3 does of Mini Rex. What do you think of these?

In the first link are AA's 100 Grand, Kaleb's PCB and PCB's son, Paradise's Sioux
http://paradiserabbits.webs.com/forsale.htm

In the second link, at the bottom of the page, are different pictures of Kaleb's PCB and Paradise's Sioux

In the third link is a facebook album with Kaleb'b PCB, AA's 100 Grand and Paradise's Sioux

In the forth link is Kaleb's CO (Sr.broken chocolate otter doe)

And in the fifth link is AA's Angie (Jr. castor doe)

Any comments?
Thanks for taking the time to look and dig through pictures!!! :)

I like sioux
Angie doesn't have great colour and her ears are long.
CO looks like a decent animal.
PCB seems decent

NOTE: I like mini rex, but I'm not perfect in choosing them at this point. :)
 
Emily,
I never liked photos where one held the head
to take a picture. It is hard to judge a rabbits
conformation when it is not posed, does not pose properly.
There are a couple of rabbits that show great promise
and a few that I would pass by.
With rabbits, you have to touch them and then
go with your gut feeling as to how their kits may turn out.
Sorry I could not be of more help.

I've wondered why that's done (putting a hand over the rabbit's head) for a while. Is it to prevent scaring the rabbit or to reduce red eye? Just curious; sorry to hijack.

It's to show the topline. For compact breeds posed with 4 feet on the ground (like Mini rex, Mini Lops, Mini Satins etc) When they're in a relaxed pose you don't get the best idea of what their topline really looks like. And it makes taking pictures by yourself of a posed animal easier, when your hands on their head they don't move as much.

As for the Mini Rex posted, I don't really like any of them, they're all long in type and a little flat, and angular.
