dwarf hotot critique?

[12lawliet12]

I'm wondering if my dwarf hotot is show quality. She's my first ever show rabbit and I honestly have no idea what I'm doing, so it'd be great if more experienced people could give me a good critique of her

I don't know anything about the "standard" for hotot (or any rabbit for that matter) but do you have a copy or can you get a copy of what the standard is?

the band at the top of the eye, seems a little narrow to me, and if you could pose her I could help you a little more.
she is beautiful though.

She seems to have the markings down, not sure about type though

@cnichols- where would I get that? Do you know?

@Jollysrabbits- thanks! I'm not really sure how to pose her though. This is my best approximation. Do you have any tips?

I dug around a little (because I have no idea, personally, how to pose a hotot) and found this! Hope it helps!

I dont know any thing about them. But she is very pretty.How much does she weigh?

What a cute little rabbit!

It is hard to tell in the photos, but it doesn't look like she actually has any black fur around her eyes, just black eye rims. :?

There is an online store where you can purchase one on that website, or you can attend most local shows and buy one from the equipment vendor.

I agree with the posing pictures on the link kyle posted.

I'm still trying to learn how to pose her.

Ideal weight for bucks and does is 2 1/2 lbs, maximum 3lbs.

The band of black fur around the eyes should be the width of two pennies. I don't see black fur around your rabbit's eyes- if she doesn't have a complete band of black fur around the eyes, she will be disqualified.

This link has pictures of good versus poor type:
