Both of these woolies are juniors(same age actually but different bloodlines). Keep in mind, #1 is a doe and #2 is a buck. It's amazing the difference in look between bloodlines and pretty obvious here.
Side Profile:
Body is to be short and compact, with depth and a curvature of the topline. The high point should be right over the loins(should meet the toes of the hindfoot). #1 has a Beautiful topline and follows the standard nicely!! #2 is very long and flat over the topline.
Top Profile:
When viewed from the top I was told that the body needed to resemble the shape of an 'egg' or have an oval shape with the hindquarter filling out nicely to the table. #1 is Very compact and has good width through the shoulder to the hindquarter. #2 is a little longer but has good hindquarter.
Head and Ear:
Alright, I couldn't get a good side profile of the head, it was hot outside and both wanted to be done with the pictures and get back in the A/C. But, I did get frontal shots to show ear carriage. The ears should NOT make a 'V' but should be erect(not necessarily touching but close together. #2 shows the 'V' and #1's ears could be closer for my personal preference but not bad at all!
Ear Length:
Ear's should be short and well furred. Ideal ear length is 2.5", MAX length is 3"!
Overall, I absolutely love #1, would only fault on the head not being rounded or having a 'mughead' but she's a baby and has yet to develope. #2 has nice hindquarter but is long and lacks good head and ear. They both got some oat treats for doing a good job.;-)

Treats well deserved. Are you now able to look through the rabbit before purchasing? If you have gone through the breeder's stock then you could have gotten a better #2. Unless you are going for the lineage. BTW, you look really gorgeous in the profile picture just like one of those movie actresses. Nice photos once again...
