Oh, Pam, this is cool. I really don'tknow anything about Polish, so I won't even attempt...but I would loveto see them about different breeds....

What a great way to learn about the different breeds of rabbit!

Jen

 

[pamnock]

Jen,

You'll find a thread of consistancy throughout the ARBA Standard ofPerfection. Learning about other breeds helps you to learnmore about your own breed.

Take a stab at it -- you might surprise yourself!

Personally, I like to do these "review" quizzes to keep me sharp on SOPfacts. There are over 800 points of info a judge should havein working memory -- not an easy feat!

Daughter Steph is up for quite a challenge with showmanship tomorrow(she's using a Polish)-- the judge knows his Polish, andnothing will slip by him. The broken black Polish buck on theleft is "John Deere" -- Steph's 4-H project for this year.

[naturestee]

Holy lots of info! That's fascinating. Thanks, Pam!

 

[cirrustwi]

Wow! I actually did ok. There were some things I knew I wouldn't know, but I knew more then I thought.

Jen

 

[Dwarf_Angel04]

Can a junior be bumped up to senior if it exceeds the maximum junior weight? no

So you aren't allowed to showjunior in the senior classif its met the max weight limit? I've always been told you can.:?

What does the Standard mention about the more "activeanimal"? not to penalize them - they'll show their heads offbetter

Can you explain this in more depth?

 

[pamnock]

Nope -- no "bump up" on the Polish like the Dwarf Hotot standard allows.

In the Standard: Do not flatten or stretch out the Polish, orpenalize the more active animal. The more alert specimenswill present the all important head, fears, and eyes in their mostnatural position and will afford the best opportunity to properlyevaluate them.



Pam

 

[Dwarf_Angel04]
