Show A French Angora Judging at Vallejo





There are three white junior does for judge Courtney to evaluate.



All three are nice, but there has to be a third place.



Then a second place.



And here comes the winner of the white junior doe class, this is also the BOV white.



The French Angora BOV colored is the chestnut senior doe.

 

The two colored junior does are both very nice but neither could win over the colored senior doe for BOV colored.



Here is the only buck on the table, a very nice one nonetheless, automatically a BOSB.  



It's time to decide on the French Angora BOB.  Judge Courtney goes back to reexamine the white junior doe that is the BOV white.



After careful examination, judge Courtney awards the BOB to the white junior doe.
