That looks like plenty of color to me, though it is entirely up to the discretion of the particular judge.Would one say this broken baby rex has at least ten percent coloring and would be able to be shown?
That's what I was thinking, but since I have no personal show experience, I have nothing to go on. Thanks for sharing an example of a rabbit you successfully showed! That helps!That looks like plenty of color to me, though it is entirely up to the discretion of the particular judge.
Some years ago I had a Satin junior buck that had less color than yours (smaller side markings and no spine marking at all) and he won at least 2 GC legs before he left for another barn. (He was not a charlie, in spite of his few markings.) At that time, though, the Satin breed standard faulted, but did not disqualify, for less than 10% color, and there was no general disqualification, like there is now.

But that was back when judges seemed to take the "less than 10%/more than 50%" rubric pretty seriously. Now most are moving to a more honestly subjective (IMO) judgment that the rabbit should not look like a charlie or a booted.
