Oh Them Eyes

When we first brought Buddha home from the Ormonds we fell in love with.him.  I fel in love first with his sweet nature.  His ability to pose for hours.  If I put him on the posing table, he will truly remain posed and stay there for a solid hour if I were to leave him.  If I put him down inside he finds a comfy area and sits posed and does not move.  The more I photographed him and admired him, the more I fell in love with his adorable large round eyes.  For me they became the perfect eyes and I want all of our Hollands to have them.  After he sired a couple of litters I started to see more of those eyes, even if in small numbers I was elated.  And a new trait became so apparant.  He has a wonderful cute round head to go with those cute round eyes, and has done wonders to improve the curvature of skull in our rabbitry.  
This is one of the wonderful reasons to watch your lines and fine tune them to your liking.  You can read as much as you like on standard and when to cull for what reason.  Small feet, long ears, fine bone.  But it becomes an art to pick and choose your own personal favorite traits that years from now you hope your stock exhibits.
