As the title says, I'm starting a new breed! Well, not really. I've decided that I wanted to add a new breed into my rabbitry because I'm in love with this breed. Don't get me wrong, I love my mini lops and will always continue to work and improve the breed but I want to try to something different and work another breed while I continue to improve my mini lops! You may be asking yourself what breed is he talking about?!? There are 49 breeds that are currently recognized by the ARBA and that's a lot of choices to go through. The reality is that one of those breeds really stood out for me! The breed is NEW ZEALANDS! Why New Zealands? New Zealands are one of those breeds that I have to have because I'm so fascinated by them and they are such a beautiful breed. The reason I chose New Zealands is that Pj from Grace Hollow Rabbitry in Arkansas raises and shows New Zealands and ever since she began raising them, I fell in love with the breed. I look up to her and another breeder from Missouri that has them and they are such a lovely breed! I've signed up for AFNZRBA and OSNZRBA clubs to learn more about the breed. I won't be getting into them until the end of this year or sometime next year because I want to learn more about the breed before I get into them. New Zealands come in black, blue, white, and red and I've decided to either start with blacks or reds because those two varieties are my favorites. So please follow on my journey with New Zealands and Mini Lops and see how I grow with both of these breeds.
