temperament

I got curious, so here is a question for those who show rabbits (or judge them). What happens if a rabbit bites the judge during judging? Hopefully, this doesn’t happen, but has anyone ever seen it happen or had it happen with one of their rabbits? Are there breeds more prone to biting?

Could it place your rabbit much lower in the rankings, or is temperament not as consequential as type at rabbit shows?

What should the owner do in this instance? I have heard it is improper to make any remarks that would identify the rabbit being judged as yours, but does this extend to apologies if your rabbit bites?
