Finally after 11 years, yes 11 years of frustration, disappointment and commitment we have been granted FULL colour standardisation for the Lionlop by the BRC. So we can show our beautiful rabbits in any colour that is standardised in any other breed. This will come into effect as soon as it has been published in Fur and Feather. Notification will be put on LLUK Facebook page. This is going to make showing much more fun and competitive good bit of healthy competition..lovely Hopefully this news will encourage more people to give this lovely breed a chance. I m sure you will all agree with me that a huge amount of thanks go to Mrs Lionlop herself, the lovely Jane Bramley.

Lion Lops UK January 2015 Page 3 London Champs 2014 LLUK AA SS Result Judge Mr S Germany Bedazzle Studs Gabby BIS Well what can I say. A very unexpected win for me with Gabby my gorgeous homebred rew doe. Going to any show and coming away with a placement is always a bonus for me but to come away with BOB in the stock show and the main show at a 5* event is just the most amazing feeling. All this from someone who wasn t having fluff in her shed! So so proud of her. She has now been mated up, can she give me another worthy winner?...watch this space!!
