Broken Satin Angora Presentation: The Final Grooming

Tuesday morning, the COD team does the final check and groom.

Cheryl Eng-Link checks all the presentation animals to make sure that there isn't anything overlooked in the pre-examination.    Cheryl was the ARBA standard chair up to a couple of years ago, she knows how the committee works.  All the rabbits are weighed to make sure that all rabbits are within the weight range.

While Cheryl is checking every little details of the rabbit, Gabe is busy grooming.    Gabe has been the major groomer for this presentation.    He works harder than anyone else.

Isn't it embarrassing for the rabbit? The genital area is open for all to check!

Betty and Casey feel very honored to be the groomer helper.   The COD team works so hard for so many years, we got the chance to feel and handle these magnificent rabbits.

Just before going on to the ARBA standard committee table, a last second hustle to make the rabbits look good.   The three COD team members Kellyjo, Sandra and Joyce put the rabbits on Gabe's and Betty's grooming tables to get the final touch.
