Starting to show some basics.

So you've got your great rabbit awesome but is it as great as you think it is? What is the most common things rabbits are disqualified for?

Colour: In order to show a rabbit it has to be one of the recognized varieties within that breed. Take for instance Chocolate agouti, it is showable in Rex but not Mini Rex. Also make sure the colour you think your rabbit may be is actually the correct colour. Often times I see smutty sable points listed as Siamese Sables, or Chocolate agouti listed as Red or Castor. I've even seen Torts incorrectly labelled as Harlequin. The list is endless.

Brokens: Brokens have to have more then 10% colour on their backs with colour on their nose or whisker bed, and less then 60% colour on their backs (or they're booted). Less then 10% colour is referred to as a charlie.

Foreign or white patches. White blazes, white toes, white spots on solid rabbits. Will all be dq'd which includes all VM's.

Wrong eye colour: Check the standard most rabbit colours are supposed to have brown of blue-grey eyes depending on the colour. The only colour to have blue eyes is the Blue Eyed White. Blue eyes in any other colour will be disqualified. Marbled eyes are disqualified as well.

Breed: Make sure the breed you have is actually the right breed. Often times people sell Albino rabbits as New Zealand Whites even though they're mutts. People also seem to sell any large rabbit as a Flemish Giant.

Weight: Most often then not rabbits are Dq'd for being over weight especially in dwarf breeds where a lot of people neglect to check the standard and make sure their rabbit is the required weight for the breed.

Missing toenails: It happens sometimes rabbits pull a toenail, so checking toenails is always a great thing to do.

Illness: If you're rabbit is sick for the sake of everyone else showing don't bring it. You'll get a lot of people mad at you and your rabbit will not only be dq'd but will have to be removed from the showroom.
