Body Types:

 

Semi Arch- Animals are longer in body & have a well defined rise starting at or near the back of the shoulders, & continuing to round over the back & hips to the base of the tail. High point of the rise should occur at the top of the hips. The side profile is to be tapered from the hindquarters through to the shoulders. To be posed with the front feet directly under the eyes & toes of the rear feet aligned with the front of the hips. Some breeds may be allowed to move naturally after initial pose, to better evaluate specific type features. Semi Arch Breeds:

Ø      Americans

Ø      Beveran

Ø      English Lop

Ø      Flemish Giant

Ø      Giant Chinchilla

 

Compact- Animals are lighter in weight & shorter in body length than animals of commercial type. Some breeds will have only a slight rise in the top line due to the depth of shoulders being slightly lower than the depth over the hips. The side profile may be tapered or of equal width from the hips to shoulders, as specified in the individual breed standard. To pose with front feet directly under the eyes & the toes of the rear feet aligned with the front of the hips. Posing in an excessively “tucked” position or allowing animals to move about the table is undesirable & strongly discouraged.
