Allen Judges Angora

It's the judging day.   Judge Allen is the judge for Angora at the convention.  He was contracted back in 2007 right after he received his judge's license, it's a 5-year wait to get him to judge.

The National Angora club advises exhibitors not to be close to the judging tables.  These photos were taken at a distance; those who are watching all had to stand very far back thus not showing up in the photos.   

The four breeds of Angora are judged in a rotating order.  This year, the order was :Giant/Satin/English/French Angoras.     Betty was busy grooming when the Giant Angora and Satin Angora were being judged.   These photos were taken toward the end of Allen's judging of English Angora.

Allen is placing the top four white senior does.

The BOV and BOSV white and colored English Angora are selected. The two BOV rabbits are competing for BOB and the two BOSV rabbits are competing for BOS. Judge Allen is checking all four before he announces his decision.

                 The BOB English Angora is a blue tort senior doe.

       The colored junior French Angora junior does are on the judge table.

 




Judge Allen has selected the BOV colored and white French Angora.  He is deciding on the BOB.   The BOB goes to the sable senior doe.

The French Angora colored junior doe is a close contender.  Judge Allen commented that she has the best body and density but lose to the senior doe due to maturity.     This doe sure will have a bright future on the show table.



Youth Angoras are judged after open.  Nichole is very happy to be the breeder/owner of the BOS English Angora.
