How often is the Standard of Perfection revised for rabbit breeds?

The Standard of Perfection for rabbit breeds is typically revised every five years. This timeline allows for sufficient observation of the breeds and the incorporation of any necessary changes based on emerging trends, genetics, and breeder feedback. Regular revisions help ensure that the standards remain relevant and reflective of current practices in rabbit breeding and showing, while also allowing for consistency in judging and classification. Breeders and exhibitors rely on these standards to maintain a clear understanding of the ideal characteristics and qualities of each breed, thereby supporting the overall health and development of rabbit breeds.
