How is this fella registered if he is too small to show? ARBA registration occurs ONLY if the animal weighs in within the standard range AT MATURITY.

I believe, Terry, that they recently changed the Standard of Perfection - after ET was registered. No doubt Hendrick's Hearth will explain further if necessary.

 

[HendricksHearth]

Hi Terry,

The breed SOP weight requirement was raised for both bucks and does effective January 2011. He won two GC legs and was registered in 2010.

Thanks,

Lauren

ETA: Thanks Maggie!

 

[Frosted Rabbits]

Okay- then it is time to order a new SOP. IS it out yet?

 

[Devon's Mom Lauren]

Yes it came out at convention. I also think its terrible that the sop was changed so much to exclude rabbits that have won legs!! Especially in a breed like this where there aren't the highest numbers around and a lot of money has been invested!! Perhaps there is an appeals process or do what the lab breeders did when their standard changed drastically; sue the club!!.

 

[HendricksHearth]

Thank so much Lauren- I feel the same way. I am a member of the breed club and I never heard anything about it until the new SOP was out. It seems like there was a disconnect there somewhere for that to have happened and is one of the big reasons I wanted to take a break for now.

Thanks!

Lauren

HAs teh Am Chin weight changed? it used to be 9=11 bucks/ 10=12 does

 

[hoppyloppysrabbitry]

do you still have the Opal Buck english lop? and where are located?<br /><br />__________ Mon Mar 14, 2011 5:11 pm __________<br /><br />Are you planing to come to the conviention in Oct. in Indiana this year?

 

[Pickles]

I never noticed this thread back in Feb. when you first posted it. I certainly understand you needing to break from the Elops for now... the change in sop is a real downer.

 

[HendricksHearth]

Thanks Christine- I wish I had known you wanted Enigma and I am sorry that it didn't work out. I bred him to one of my Mini Rex does last month for the Velveteen project, but I don't know if she took. I have my fingers and toes crossed that she did.

Hi HLR,

I do still have the opal buck, but I believe he will be sold shortly along with ET to an excellent home. I will let you know if it falls through for some reason. The only show I am currently planning to attend is Conyers in a few weeks as I have been too busy with nursing school to travel.

Also I am pulling Cocoa Puff from the list for now she is making a nest at the moment.
