We are considering breeding our mini rex with a local stud. She will be 1yo May 3. She doesn't have any pedigree papers or tattoos. The stud family shows theirs with 4H at fairs so I am interested in finding out any additional Info on my doe’s pattern. If she wouldn’t qualify to show for some reason don’t feel bad saying why. We love her for her personality 🥰

We have a 8 month old mini rex doe. We found a stud for her and the family does 4H showing so we are looking into weather or not she would qualify I think she might be considered a Tort but not positive. Any insights are appreciated! Don’t feel bad to share if she wouldn’t qualify, we love her for her personality and any extra would just be for fun!

That rabbit is a torted harlequin. That is not a showable color. She doesnt look like she has very good breed type either; her ears are long and she is chopped in the hindquarter. I wouldn't recommend breeding this rabbit; there are enough pet quality mini rex in the world and she wouldn't add very much to the gene pool.
 
Looking it up is not totally clear to me; is it basically small thigh muscles?
