Pictorial guide to DH type - Part 3

I love nice body type...ok I'm obsessed with it.;-) Here's the breakdown:

Body: 35 points

"The body should be short, compact, well rounded. The topline should have a gradual curve from the ear base to the highest point over the hips, then fall in a smooth curve to the base of the tail."

Nice compact doe:

Not so compact:


"It should be uniformly wide from shoulders to hips with well rounded hindquarters" (Faults: narrow shoulders, pinched hindquarter)

Decent width(still working on this in my herd):


This is narrow shoulders:


SEVERELY pinched hindquarters:


Long in the shoulder:


Short, very nice shoulders:

Other Disqualifications for this breed: Dewlaps, colored nails, any spots of color on the rabbit(should be purely white with only color in the eyebands of the animal, and spots or marbling in the eye.

Also posing...Not flat on the table and not like an ND, head should be 'up' just a bit like a Jersey Wooly.

My herd buck, I think he should be the model for the standard-he really looks fabulous here and sums up very nice type. <3 br="">

Done! Now you know what to look for in a Dwarf Hotot.:-D
