I was wondering if any of you do 4H rabbit shows. I wouldn't call Rosie a show rabbit but are there classes that don't judge on how the rabbits look? Like how well they can be handled or something?
ETA: I looked at that Great Scott's 4-H club website, and they do their fitting & showing very weird, mostly just for the straightness of the front legs; They pick them up by the ears; that isn't what we do. :grumpy:

Emily,
I'm glad that you pointed that out!
That should NEVER, EVER, EVER be done! I have never heard of lifting the rabbit by the tips of the ears to check for straightness of legs.
In some breeds (harlequin), the rabbit's headis gently lifted by the ear base to view the chest, but lifting is never done by the tips of the ears.
