Hey guys!
I hope you are having a wonderful beginning of summer as I am! There has been a lot of changes/things going on in the rabbitry and I've decided I would like to talk about it. Let's get into the showing part first. How are the shows going? Well, the showing aspect that I'm doing is going fabulous. Winnie has earned 4 legs and she is eligible to be a registered grand champion! This is pretty exciting. I'm planning on getting her registered and granded at the Randolph Show on the 17th! Feisty, my first ever homegrown buck that I've shown, is doing a fantastic job in his show career. He was showing against juniors but now that he is a senior, he is going to be showing up against the big boys! I have a few juniors that I'm looking forward to showing this fall! How are the juniors doing? I have a lot of juniors in the rabbitry but only a few have stood out to me. King's Cincinnati, is a broken sable steel and he is out of TLD's Demeter and Lazo's Wizard. At first, all the babies were looking promising but as they got older, I didn't really like anyone of them except for Cincinnati and New Philadelphia. But out of those two brokens, Cincinnati stood out for me! He's a nice well balanced buck and he will be hitting the tables at the Randolph Show and that is pretty exciting because it's another homegrown that I will be putting onto the show tables! King's Bloomington is a black frosted pearl. He's out of AEC's Bianca and Star City's SC225. I knew from the beginning I wanted to keep him. He's such a cuddle bug. Every time that I take him out to pose him, he just keeps getting better and better. I'm always looking at the type over the color but he is such a pretty rabbit and will make an amazing addition to my herd if he matures nicely! He's a very promising buck. King's Potomac is a broken sable chin. He's the brother to Bloomington. This little bugger has been giving me mixed feelings since he was 6 weeks old but I decided to keep him and grow him out. So far, he's a promising junior buck! Last junior that is still here and growing is King's Sedona. Sedona is a chestnut agouti and he is out of TLD's Janice and DRD's Nomad. I'm selling Sedona because I don't want or need a chestnut in the rabbitry but let me tell you, he is a promising young buck and would make a great addition to anyone's herd. Current babies!! So as many of you know, I have a ton of litters right now but it's only like 3. Let's start with Corona's litter. Corona had a litter of 3- a broken chocolate, white and a black. This litter was pretty shocking because I wasn't expecting a broken chocolate or a white -_-. But these babies are adorable! Lucky's litter had a new surprise color and that is a BROKEN AMBER!! This broken amber is now named Charlotte and she is the sweetest little doe there is! Charlotte is more likely to stay here in the rabbitry! The last litter belongs to Midnight! Midnight is a first time mom and I was pretty worried about her and her mothering instincts but let me tell you, she's a fabulous mother! She has 2 blacks and a chocolate. I was shooting for blues but it doesn't seem like it's happening. Upcoming babies! I haven't bred Winnie since last year but I decided to go ahead and breed her to my homegrown buck Fiesty! Winnie is due on the 10th! I'm pretty excited about this litter because this breeding should compliment each other well and because both rabbits have done an excellent job in their show career so I'm hoping the litter will be show quality and hoping that there will be more does than bucks lol. The second rabbit I bred was Sapphire. She was bred to Bubba and she is also due on the 10th. I'm pretty stoked about this litter because I can see what the pair carries and hopefully there will be some interesting colors.(Hint, hint: cream)! These babies should turn out really nice! That's all that has happened in the rabbitry! Pretty stoked to see how the juniors mature, how the mini rex babies turn out and the upcoming litters from the black chin doe and orange doe!
