Sable Point Junior Buck - Critique

9 1/2 weeks. =3

Biggest fault I see now is narrowness. His full sibling (5 months older), I think, started filling out around 5 months of age or so. So I have hope for this little one. x.x;

I like him.

I am still learning and by no means consider myself an expert (no where even close!!!!!!) but I think I see what you mean about the narrowness...you mean around the shoulders right? Taking that aside....I LOVE HIS LITTLE FACE AND HEAD!!!!! but that is just my untrained opinion

He looks pretty awesome for only 9 1/2 weeks. Beautiful side profile, but you are right about being narrow. He tapers off toward the lower hindquarter and toward the shoulders, but he could grow that in, especially with age and condition. good ears, just needs more development in bone and in the head, and that will come with age as well. He does have good width between the eyes and nice little cheeks

I can't wait to see how he grows out!

His color reminds me of a himi sable point though, but color should also develop with age. I had a sable point once and he went through all kinds of color phases.

His color is no where near as 'himi' as a couple of these other rabbits I've seen lately. >.>; I would like to see the color come further up the legs, and -some- form of a saddle... but I'd also much prefer being too clean over being too smutty. XD I've been fighting off seal points like no body's business in these last few litters. It's nice to finally get a rew based baby.

I see the tapering. I also see that from the top view, he's pinched in HQ. (Which is weird, since flip him over, and his feet are almost perfectly straight, and a lot wider than they look.)

I'm pretty excited to grow him out. I knooow he's going to be one of those cases that I need to stick in a bottom cage and not look at from 3 months to 6~7 months. XD Those cheeks just get me, though, and I know he should mature to be at least as nice as his dad. Well, hopefully. lol!
