Mandie in the wind.

Judge Ron blows into Mandie's wool when judging 4-class.

Judge Jacinta is the breed judge for English Angora.

Mandie has been a busy girl. She was in the CA state convention on Saturday then she flew to Ohio to meet her new mom Maureen. Maureen takes Mandie to the South Ohio RBA show on Sunday; very happy to report that Mandie won Best of Breed in double shows and in one of the shows she was judged as the Best 4-Class rabbit.

In California, the final judging is to pick the Best In Show and Reserve In Show. In other parts of the country, most shows pick a Best 6-Class rabbit and a Best 4-Class rabbit then these two compete for Best In Show. "6-Class" are the heavy weight rabbits that has 6 classes: senior buck, intermediate buck, junior buck, senior doe, intermediate doe and junior doe. In Angora, Giant Angora is a "6-Class" while the other three breeds of Angora are all "4-class": senior buck, junior buck, senior doe and junior doe.

It's Maureen's first time out winning the big one; hope that she and her rabbits will win many big ones to come.
