I've decided to cut way back on my Tans for the time being so I wanted to get into another breed. I've only done running breeds so I don't know much about the other body types and really want to learn.
I had always wanted to do Silver Martens but I really don't have the room for big rabbits. I decided to do a breed that I never thought I'd do in a million years - Silver Marten Mini Rex. I know that there are a LOT of MR breeders and that competition is really stuff but it looks like fun and if I stick to that variety it will be a fun side project while I focus on my spots.
Now, as I mentioned before, I've only done running breeds. I have no idea how to determine if a mini rex is good or bad. Even after reading the standard I'm a bit confused. I also don't know how to pose them correctly and it's more difficult than I thought it would be to find good examples online. I have pictures of the ones that I'll be picking up (at least I will have them soon) but I'm not sure what I can tell from a picture.
Any advice would be totally appreciated!
