Proposal of standard for the judgement of the exhibition Transylvanian Giant Rabbit

In 2009 we published for the first time our intention to create a first Romanian rabbit breed(Oryctolagus cuniculus) based on Transylvanian rustic genes. However, that paper was not the first official report on the creation of our breed as long as we were still working to finnish it. This note is not either the first official report on creation of Transylvanian Giant Rabbit, but we estimate this year we finnish the breed improvement and research and publish our work as a first report. This event will mark a special day in the history of Romanian rabbitry. Our current short note was edited as a standard proposal for judgement of the exhibition Transylvanian Giant Rabbit (before its homologation). We respected the general rules presented by European Association of Poultry Pigeon and Rabbit Breeders (2003) and fit them to the specific characteristics of our breed in formation. Points distribution were presented as follows: 1)Type and the body shape 20 pts., 2)Weight 10 pts., 3)Fur 20 pts., 4)Head and ears 15pts., 5)Color 15 pts., 6)Markings 15 pts., 7)Condition 5 pts.
