I have shown pics of my Harlequin buck I bought. They said they made me a deal on him because he is so badly stained from another rabbit peeing on him. He came with one Leg which he won in '08. I thought it was a bit odd they didn't bother to show him again?
So at todays show, I went up north because two harlie breeders were helping me out and getting me started on my way. They both checked him out and had nothing but praise about him saying how great the markings were and that for the most part it was clean.
The lady didn't bring hers to show, just what she was selling to me, and the boy brought his since he'd have atleast one rabbit to compete against. Mine was the ONLY one that got points for everything alternating like it was suppose to. So as the judge went over everything and told me everything good about him, his hind quarters needs work, but great rabbit. DISQUALIFIED!
So we're all standing there like WTF? Apparently his teeth are badly messed up. My own stupidity for not checking, but I found out why he was a steal pretty much. They looked as though they had been busted and they never bothered to fix them. I was devestated because I have worked so hard since I got him to get those stains cleared up and was so excited he would get another Leg today...and his teeth =(
His teeth sit slanted instead of straight across. The Harlie lady would have trimmed them for me except she didn't have the clippers there.
So now I'm on the hunt for someone in my area who knows how to do the teeth properly and get him fixed up for upcoming shows.
Oh! and 8 new bunnies. Will have picsys asap!
