Here are two poses from my buck named Silver bullet.
The fuzzy lop head should not be higher than the peek of it's back.
In the first photo he'd rather run
around and play than pose for this photo.
In this shot he sits more like
a Holland lop (He's pure fuzzy lop).
I've had my rabbits lose their class because they sat up too high from
being nervous. Unless you practice posing with your fuzzy lops you'll
find it difficult to win on the table. They will stiffen up,
flatten, not sit still, and/or sit to high.
Even when I do practice with my guys, I find it may take as many as
three shows before they settle down enough to do any good on the
tables.
In the next pose Bullet is posing properly. The peek of his back is slightly
higher than his head. In this photo his ears appear a bit long, but his
ears are pretty short in reality. He either grew into them or it's the
angle he's holding his head.

Above; This was also one of my earlier
rabbits.
This rabbit's head carriage is too low and it's flattening itself to the table.
Some rabbits when they are nervous plant their chins right to the table
and flatten out. I find these shy rabbits are difficult to teach to sit up.
The
more I worked with this type the more they fought to lay flat.
They can be taught with a lot of patience and handling. I build their confidence by
letting them run around in a playpen indoors and
outdoors.
