Studying Harlequin Standard: Adventure of Harlie



Harlie is settling in, really tame and gentle, a very good boy.


Betty says, being a diehard show person, I can't help but go to the Standard of Perfection to study Harlequin. This side of Harlie's face is OK, should be orange but there are some black.


This side of face is really good.


The line is very straight. The ears are a little off, the black side of the face should have an orange ear and the orange side of the face should have a black ear.



The tummy marking is quite good and the legs are very straight, definitely not pinched.

Harlie seems to be a nice rabbit that I could try showing him. Since he came without a passport (aka pedigree) nor his suitcase (aka background), it'll be just for fun. There is no chance of registration thus not eligible for Grand Champion no matter how well he does in shows.

Is Harlie going to a rabbit show when the 2012 show season starts? Stay tuned.

    what a funny story about Alvin/Harlie. Never heard of a rabbit that bonded with chickens before :-)

    My chickens started laying eggs in my rabbitry in a nest box. I appreciated that because I could find them...they had been laying them in undisclosed places. Sadly, they are not laying this winter.

    It's nice Alvin has a job!
