Tell me what you think of my holland lop

This is Cocco. He is a one year olf holland lop. We got him at the show (won him realy). I just wanted to see what everyones in put on him would be. We are bring him to the stated fair my daughter is showing him in youth. He is a cute bunny but I know there is more to it then cute.

Here he is

I don't know much about showing, but he is adorable!

He's a cutie.

How old is he?

I'd say he could use a little more width between the eyes. But he has a very cheeky face and nice shape to the head. Cute, short, wide, open ears! His crown looks to be pretty slipped though.

Body-wise, he looks nice and short through the body, which is good. But he looks longer in shoulder (causing the dip behind the head), and also looks to lack a bit in the lower hindquarter. Nice thick bone, but longer in bone than preferred.

Overall, probably a nice Youth bunny depending on your area.

He is a year but I thought he looked small he is almost 3lbs not much bigger than our ND doe.

Well, if he's a year old, he may not end up being a very showy buck. He looks like a junior to me (under 6 months), which is not necessarily a good thing in Hollands. You want them to have lots of mass, so that they look like a big bunny but are still within the weight limit. You can see that this guy doesn't have a lot of mass...he looks very dainty and small. Whether he's nicely typed or not, lacking that mass will place him lower on the table than a more massive buck.

I was thining just makeing him a pet my daughter just love how cute he is. Only thing is I think he was used for breeding becouse he will try to breed with anything that moves. Would makeing him into a pet and nutering him calm him down a bit? He is a cute boy just so hyper trying to get at the other bunnies.
