Terms:
Legs a win with a
minimum 3 breeders and 5 rabbits with on DQ's
DQ's Disqualifications

Must be registered. Therefore a Fuzzy lop with a Holland Lop Can never
become a Grand Champion no matter how many legs they win.

show a SR. they must be 4 pounds or less.
Jr. A Fuzzy lop that is under six months old, over 1.5 pounds and under
3.5 pounds
HL Holland lop; a Fuzzy lop with Holland lops in it's pedigree can be shown but not registered
or apply for a Grand Champion certificate. Many of the best fuzzy lops have
Holland in their pedigree.
AFL American Fuzzy lop
ARBA American Rabbit Breeders Association AFLRC
AMERICAN FUZZY LOP RABBIT CLUB
A good site for Breed Standard of Perfection, Scheduled Sanctioned shows
and Sweepstakes Reporting (who has the most points for Herdsman of the
year and fuzzy lop of the year etc. and Fuzzy lop Members Directory. Note
not all top Fuzzy lop breeders choose to be a member of the club so the
top fuzzy lop report standings are for members only. But it is a good
place to for a beginner to start. With your first membership you get
a soft cover book full of Fuzzy lop information and a subscription to
Fuzzy tails magazine sent out a few time a year.

The fuzzy lop must be free of disqualifications, it's pedigree must be completed
