the new dose is realy small and has the typical small ears but her face is quite narrow and longer than my other doe

im just wanting to see some comparison photos as all i can find on the net is realy nice good quality show pics

if you post a picture we would probably be able to tell you - the majority of the "nethies" today aren't true neths unless they're coming from top breeders who are working to maintain the standard.

you need to look for small ears, compact body and huge eyes. My biggest nethie is my buck and he weighs just under a kilogram bless him :lol:

a lot of the ones I've seen advertised lately on Preloved and sites like that are really bad type, too big in the body and too long in the ear.

anyway this is Scooter, he's show standard
