I am finding a hard time discovering resources online I have tried to listen in at the last couple of shows, but before I go to the next show I was wondering if anyone more experienced could share with me some info on critiquing NZ for show. I have read the SOP for NZ, but that can be shady, I plan to put my hands on some rabbits at the next show and learn more hands on, but it would be nice to have a better base knowledge before then.
I'm taking my 2 jr does to the next show, I took one previously and didn't know they could have dq'd her since she was 5lbs. I had an old copy of the SOP where minimum jr weight was 4.5lbs, it is now 6lbs. Both of my girls are at 5lbs15oz, so they will make weight for the next show.
My other question, does anyone have an approximate growth scale for NZ? At what age should they meet mature weight, what is a "mature" weight for NZ (9lbs?).
With the mini rex I had some background knowledge, so I am still trying to read/learn and self educate with the NZ. I am attaching a couple pictures of my girls.
Posing is another issue I am having, I just need to pay more attention at the next show (last show I had mini rex on the table at the same time the nz were up, so I couldnt watch much).
