What is the classification for stray white hairs in a rabbit?

Stray white hairs in a rabbit are considered a fault in the classification system. This means that while the presence of stray white hairs is undesirable and may affect the rabbit's appearance and overall quality, it does not render the rabbit ineligible for competition or show. A fault indicates a minor imperfection that could potentially be improved upon, but it does not significantly detract from the overall breed standard.

In contrast, defects are considered more serious issues that could impact the overall health or well-being of the rabbit, while a disqualification would be a more severe issue that renders the rabbit unsuitable for showing entirely. An imperfection is a more vague term and does not provide a clear classification as faults, defects, and disqualifications do. Understanding this classification helps show participants and breeders recognize the standards of presentation and quality expected in rabbits for shows.
