The answers would be found in the NZ Guide Book, the ARBA Guide Book and the New Zealand section of the ARBA Standard of Perfection. I will have drawings of rabbits to judge. This will enable me to put on a pretty detailed contest even if there are no live rabbits to handle or judge. I again would encourage any youth who plan to participate to either e-mail me at sprite2@erols.com or write me, Dr. Wendy Feaga, at 13151 Triadelphia Road, Ellicott City, MD 21042 including your name, age and sex, so I can be sure to bring enough tests with me. I hope to be present in the show room Friday evening to administer the test for any who are present then, and catch up with the rest who would like to try during the show on Saturday. Wendy
