[Silver Star Rabbitry]

This is one of my BEW Sr. Netherland Dwarf does. What do you think of her?

Looks pretty nice. Touch long in midsection, but I think that head and ear might be wonderful without your hand on them. ;D

Work on getting her to sit up on her own. I have a feeling this is a spectacular doe. Very rounded on the topline.

Can you give a rear and top body view? Also front head shot. I agree with Shaded Night's comments - Total of 30 points on the head/ears and you have them obscured with your hand. The hindquarter slopes off quite a bit and appears to be narrow - but can't tell without additional photos.

Nice shoulder depth!

Second look, I agree about the HQ. Didn't notice the first time, derp. Too distracted by the potentially pretty face.

Here are a few more pictures of her.

She was streching out in this one. I know that she looks like she has a bit of a dew lap, but I have checked and it is just thick fur.

She is lovely. I know nothing about ND type so I can't critique her but you sure do have a beautiful doe.

Quick question, why are you holding her by her ears?

She is definitely long in body, but otherwise looks very nice except for the HQ already mentioned. How much does she weigh?

 

[Silver Star Rabbitry]

She hates posing and that's the only way that I can get her to stand! She is a BUD and weighs 2 1/2 - 3 lbs.

That's what I thought. Most BUD's physically cannot pose correctly. Their longer body type makes it impossible for them to sit up. I don't even try to pose my big uglies for fear of injuring them. She looks very uncomfortable. Just my opinion, but I think letting them show off their length and baby carrying ability makes BUD's just as attractive as if they were very showy little girls.

 

[woahlookitsme]

haha does BUD stand for Big ugly doe? as in a brood doe?

 

[lelanatty]

Yes it does. It means she is a false dwarf.

She is hollow through the loin, and pinched in the HQ. She is a nice brood doe, but her HQ and loin really bother me.
