new mini lop pair please Critque

Jasharia · Sep 5, 2010

OK we went to the show and one for the kids I show with did not want to work with himis as he project. She really wanted French lops but I did not have the space right now for another big breed. So she did choose mini lops we got a breeding pair from a very nice well known breeder Stiles. I hope I spelled his name right. I would love your thoughts on the pair. This is for a youth so if it is sanctioned they both will be in youth. First is the doe she is a young one only 3mo but I love her color. Oh and if she is posed wrong just tell me what needs to be done and I will try to fix it.

Hello

I like the doe most. She has better type and depth. The buck has a much better head, but he is longer. They both seem to have a good HQ, but the buck looks like his could fill out a bit more. They both have good color.

Congrats on the new ML's! They are a great breed and as far as posing, they are a compact breed and are set-up like a Mini Rex if that helps at all, with forelegs and hocks flat on table and their eyes and front feet even/hind feet and stifle even, too. Looks like you did a pretty good job- I like the first picture of the doe the best.

Your doe is a pretty girl. She seems to have pretty good depth and a nice HQ, head, and crown. Your new chin buck is handsome, but I am not sure if it is the way he is posed or how he actually is, but he looks to have a bit more length in his shoulders and a bit less meat in his lower HQ. I like his head and crown a lot, though.

FWIW, I like them both.

IMHO, the doe has better depth, but something tells me the buck hasn't finished developing yet.

I wish I could find my cams charger. I found out that in the buck pics he is not posed right. I set him up now he looks like a nice round ball. I also have a nice broken with 3 legs 2 of them are BOB. I love to show you them. I will have to look more for that charger.
