Statement Regarding Dawn Guth COD   My Proposed Lionhead Standard was approved as written.  It includes the colors, Black, REW, Siamese Sable, Smoked Pearl and Pointed White (Black, Blue, Chocolate and Lilac).  It is nearly identical to the Arden Wetzel Working Standard printed in Domestic Rabbits.  My changes do not effect the overall concept of what the two COD holders ahead of me are targeting as the ideal Lionhead.  I have confirmed with the Standards Committee Chair that I am under no obligation to share my version of the Standard with anyone besides the Standards Committee.  Therefore, other than the color standards for Smoke Pearl and Pointed White, I will not be making my Standard available for use, nor will I comment on the changes I have applied.  I will continue to breed and show against the Proposed Standard of whomever is next in line, until such time it becomes my turn to present.  I hope that my decision helps unify the Lionhead breed not only at the show tables, but in our breeding programs.   ~ Dawn Guth
