Ok I will try and take it bit by bit and explain it to you mind you its my interpretation and everyones is slightly different.
Type:
The body is to be short, cobby and well rounded, the shoulders and chest broad and well filled. The hindquarters braod, deep and well rounded. Firm to the touch.
Body should have no pin bones sticking out ( you will feel these over the hipsto the middle of the rabbit) It should be muscly feeling over shoulders and bum (best way to understand this is really to feel a few differnt rabbits some of my nethies have such muscly shoulders you can hardly get your hand over them!)
Head:
The head should be bold, with good width between the eyes. The muzzle should be well developed. The head should be attached to the body with no visible neck
Rather like a nethies head it should be nice and wide inbetween the eyes (over bridge of nose) also like a nethie should look like 2 balls one sitting atop of other. which is teh shape you are looking for when looking side on at your lionheads basically nice and rounded shape to head and body
Ears:
Not to exceed 7.5cm(3in) in length. To be an upright open ear, well covered of good substance, but not furnished as an Angora. Ears should be well balanced with head and body.
Obviously should have fur on them but no tufty long fur like angoras have on teh end of their ears. length explains itself

MANE/CHEST
The mane should be between 5-7cm (2-3 ")in length extending to a "V" at the back of the neck, falling into a fringe around the head, with longer fur on the chest to form a bib[/align]
so where the mane is which is back of neck and chest it should be the length described above. it should also frame round teh head like a lions mane does. that means if it doesn't have a full mane it will get marked down so say it didnt have much mane round teh cheeks

FAULTS
A Long narrow head, pointed or weak muzzle. Narrow or long body, chopped off or undercut hindquarters, any specimen that shows raciness. Ears too long. A mane that is thin or sparse in appearance. Excessive fur on flanks.[/align]
a head that is not rounded not as round as a nethie but basically a pointed face. chopped of etc hindqaurters basically means if its bum is not rounded. raciness i always think of as out of condition. mane that is not full in all areas noted above and excessive fur is the sideskirts on lionheads which is not allowed on adult exhibits.
I havenot put in the whole thing just the main points I hope that explains it a bit better Peg or Pam is probably better than me but hopefuly it will give you an idea.
