1-a 1-b 2

This is a posed breed and is not shown with its head on the table.

1 TYPE The body is to be short, cobby and well rounded, the shoulders and chest broad and well filled, with shoulders matching
hindquarters. The depth at the shoulders should round back to broad, deep, and well rounded hindquarters. The lower hips should be well filled. The whole body of the Lion head rabbit should be firm to the

touch. Legs: Legs of medium length, not too fine in bone. Stance to be high enough to show full chest and mane.

No change

Head: The head should be bold, with good width between the eyes. The muzzle should be well developed. The head should be attached to the body with no visible neck. The face below the eye line should be free of extended fur.

The face of a Lionhead should not be completely covered in extended fur, there should be a small area of normal fur.

4.

5. 6

Ears: Not to exceed 7.5cm (3in) in length. To be an upright open ear, well covered of good substance, with a strong ear base., but not furnished as an Angora. Ears should be well balanced with head and body. Eyes: Bold and bright, eyes of whites to be red or blue, in all other colours as per Colour Standard. 2 MANE/CHEST .The mane is made of a
extended undercoat, that is strong and lively feeling with a soft silky texture. Guard hairs will be present to protect the fur but should never create a coarse feeling to the fur. The mane will form a full circle of fur

The ears should be a strong ear, finishing off a bold rabbit.

No change

Just explains in more detail what makes the mane

between 5-7cm (2-3 ")in length extending to a "V" at the back of the neck, The fur of the mane should be
dense enough to make the mane full and prominent, falling into a fringe around

Helps the judge picture what a lionhead should look like

the head, with longer fur on the chest to form a bib.

Any fur at the front of the ears should enhance the prominence of the mane. The fur on the cheeks should extend into the whisker bed but the centre of the foreface below the eye line should be clear of extended fur.

Clarifies the set of the mane in relationship to the face . the nose of the Lionhead should be normal fur

3. COAT. The coat to be dense, of medium length, roll back and even all over, the saddle should be free of extended fur, but there will be a finer flank line of slightly longer fur running down the length of the rabbit , starting at the base of the neck at the mane ,running down to tail and extending in a line into the groin, when this extended line is lifted, a normal short coat should be visible, the extended fur should not cover the entire sides of the rabbit, and should not touch the saddle of the rabbit. On the U/5 month lionheads the extended fur around the flanks will be thicker than on an adult example, but there must be signs of this coat clearing on the saddle, showing a clear distinction/definition between the developing back top coat and flank line. The rabbit must not resemble an angora or cashmere in coat type or quality. 4 .COLOUR :All colours as long as they conform to a recognised colour and pattern. It is important to remember when judging colour on the Lionhead rabbit that the fur of the mane will be the under colour in that area of the coat. The Flank line will also be the under colour of the exhibit, (on a banded colour like an Agouti all the bands will be visible.) 5 .CONDITION The exhibit should be in a perfect health and bodily condition, free from all soiling, particularly on feet, ears and genital parts. Free from knots and mats around the mane. The coat should reflect the overall good health of the exhibit, which should appear alert and vigorous. Weights: Adults 1.36kg (3lb.)- 1.76kg ( 4lb) The ideal weight for an adult example being 3lb 10oz

Helps the judge with colour as the flank line is the under coat

DISQUALIFICATIONS :Malocclusion, lack of mane or chest fur, furnishings on top of the ears,

The bottom half furred enhances the mane, the tops should be as clear as possible but with a good substance of fur. The ears should be visible and not submerged in mane No change

a thick skirt like flank line that covers the entire sides and the whole belly of an adult example and which can not be lifted to reveal a normal short coat and gives the appearance of the rabbit sitting on a fur pillow.
Ears that exceed 3-1/2 inches in length..

Shows what we are not looking for, will stop Lionheads getting to woolly under, this is a welfare reason.
