What do judges look for in a rabbit at rabbit shows?

Answer 1

First and foremost, they are judging the dog's conformation to its breed standard. Every pure breed has a specific set of rules for how it should look, including everything from shape of the head to colour to hair length to position of the legs, etc. Judges have these standards memorized and judge how close an individual dog is to that standard.

They also look for any signs of injury or poor health, as those things could have a negative impact on that dog's potential offspring, as well as any signs of aggression or fear, as some temperamental qualities could be passed down to offspring, too.

The goal of responsible dog breeding is to produce happy, healthy dogs who adhere to their breed standard, so the judge is looking for ideal individuals.
