Flemish Giant Buck w/ dewlap

[CloeysRabbitRanch]

Okay I'm new to Flemish Giants. In the SOP it reads "Does may have a large, full, evenly carried dewlap." I have a white buck that has a dewlap is this a fault or a disqualification in a show?

Are you absolutely sure he's a buck?

Yep he's got Easter ggs

:lol:

I have heard of bucks having dewlaps, but I don't know if it's a DQ.

As far as most breeds go it is a dq. I've had bucks that had it but its usually from being overweight or age

All my flemish bucks had smaller dewlaps, this is because of the breeds large size and body type. I have shown them and done very well. Not a DQ, no worries

She's right But I think it can be an issue if its a huge one.

Is it a DQ for a Californian?
Is there a list of breeds that are allowed to have male dewlaps?

I bought an adult Flemish buck with a large dewlap. Knew the litter he came from and didnt believe the owner that he was a male till i got him home and sexed him. Yup a boy. Turns out he was just really fat. The previous owners fed him a high protien pellet, with lots of added carbs as treats. He also was in a very small pen. He lost his dewlap completely after a few months with me. He's a big stocky boy.
I had bought and raised his full brother from 8 weeks old and he never developed a dewlap.
