Cals are shown as Juniors (less than 6 months), Intermediates (6-8 months), and Seniors (8 months and over). There are restrictions as to weights: Senior Bucks – 8-10 lbs. Senior Does – 8.5- 10.5 lbs. Intermediate Bucks – < 9lbs. Intermediate Does - < 9.5 lbs. Juniors Bucks - < 8 lbs. Min. 5.5 lbs Junior Does - < 8.5 lbs. Min. 5.5 lbs. If you have an overweight junior you can show him/her as an Intermediate and an overweight Intermediate can show as a senior. Cals are judged primarily on type (body conformation). In fact type rules the day for Cals. carrying the most points. Coat, color, etc. while important is a far second. Standards in brief: General type: 65 points heavily weighted towards body and few points for ears, head, feet, legs.
