Good Hindquarters vs. Bad Hindquarter

It's all about the butt! Excuse my language, errr...hindquarter I mean. ;-) So what's the difference between a good and bad hindquarter? You can actually tell at a very young age, let's take a look. Ideally, the hindquarter should be full to the table, and round in all directions from a top view. Hocks should be parallel to one another and straight from top to bottom. Here are some good examples of such:

Here are some bad examples. This is a trait/fault that is extremely hard to breed out and its best that the animal be removed from a breeding program. Note this rabbit is undercut and pinched. The babies also have these characteristics and as you can see the hocks make a 'V' which is a tale tale sign of a weak hindquarter.

Last but not least, I wanted to share a few pictures of the babies taken today... :-D

"That's all folks!"...
