For Sale List Updated

A big update should be coming to my website within the next month. I just ordered a new laptop last week, which should be shipped out on the 31st. I'm planning on taking new pics of everyone, as I do not have pics of any of my current show animals yet.
An updated for sale list:

DDRC- Black Jr buck (only 10 weeks old) out of Kooper (RGC/4 legs) x Siren (RGC/4 legs). He's a bit flatter in type, and peaks a bit too soon. His cheeks come a bit into his whisker bed, with his blaze narrowing a bit.

DDPC- Black jr buck (about 4 months old) out of Rascal (RGC/3 legs) x Porshe (RGC/3 legs). Nice little buck, he just needs to fill in a bit over the loin. I just have two other Black bucks I'm keeping over him. Has nice markings.

DDE7- Blue jr doe (about 5 months old) out of Desperado (RGC/7 legs) x Delaney (RGC/5 legs). She has excellent markings, and an excellent head for a doe. Type wise, she's just a bit longer in the midsection, and peaks a bit too soon. I have 4 other Blue does that I'm keeping over her. She's placed high in shows, getting some seconds and thirds in very large classes.


Then new rabbits added to the for sale list:

DDSC- Black jr doe (only 10 weeks old) out of Kooper (RGC/4 legs) x Sushi (RGC/3 legs). She's not the best for show as she has a very narrow blaze with her cheeks coming over too far. Will be best for brood when old enough, or as a pet (can be sold without pedigree for a lower price as a pet).

Rimfire- Black sr buck (2 years old) out of Ricochet (RGC/5 legs) x Trelawn Heather (Reg/2 legs). Rimmy is a Registered Grand Champion with 14 legs, and one Reserve in Show win. He is a herd buck, and has produced RGC's. He's nicely marked, and is super short and deep in type.

DDUC- Blue jr buck (about 5 months old) out of Bentley (RGC/6 legs) x Jill's Wild Blue Venus (Reg). Has won 1 leg for a BOSV. Nicely marked little buck. Has nice type, however could use more fullness in the lower hindquarters.

Pipkin- Opal Britannia Petite sr buck (about 8 months old). Pet quality, as he's an unrecognized variety, and his nails are too light for breeding. Pip was here for me to learn how to pose a Petite. He's been here for the last 4-5 months, and it's now time to move him along. He can have a bit of an attitude at times, so is not available to a home with kids. However can be friendly when he wants to, and when he doesn't feel threatened. He's only about 2 pounds and is fully grown.


Available after their next litter:

Siren- Black sr doe (2 years old) out of Stryker (RGC/20 legs, 3 BIS) x Sage (RGC/3 legs). Siren is a Registered Grand Champion with 4 legs. She's an excellent mom. I just have too many brood does, and need to move some out, as I'm a small rabbitry (30 holes).

Porshe- Black sr doe (1 1/2 years old) out of Stryker (RGC/20 legs, 3 BIS) x Sage (RGC/3 legs). Porshe is a Registered Grand Champion with 3 legs. She's an excellent mom. I just have too many brood does, and need to move some out, as I'm a small rabbitry (30 holes).

Lila- Blue sr doe (2 years old) out of Stryker (RGC/20 legs, 3 BIS) x Ruby (Reg/2 legs). Lila is Registered with 1 leg. She's an excellent mom. She is the dam of Belle Starr (RGC/4 legs), and is being replaced by her.


Available after their next two litters:

Morgan- Black sr doe (2 years old) out of Stryker (RGC/20 legs, 3 BIS) x Zoe (RGC/3 legs). Morgan is Registered with 2 legs. She's an excellent mom. I'll be replacing her with Revlon (1 leg for a BOS) soon.

Tessa- Blue sr doe (2 years old) out of Stryker (RGC/20 legs, 3 BIS) x Lacey (Reg). Tessa is a Registered Grand Champion with 5 legs. She's an excellent mom. I'll be replacing her with a couple of her daughters.

All the brood does can be bred for an extra charge before leaving. I am now accepting unrefundable deposits on the does to hold until they're ready. If I have someone interested, I might consider letting them go sooner.
Next show is August 9th in Monroe, the "Clusters of Specialties" show. I'll be the show secretary for the Dutch double specialty, if anyone is interested in entering. If interested in a rabbit, let me know, and I can bring them.

GNWRCSG Results

Rabbits didn't do so well last weekend. Only one worth mentioning is my little Black jr buck whose only 8 weeks old won BOSV, earning his first leg! This is a super little buck that I have coming up. Show A, BOB went to Lloyd with a really nice little Black jr doe! Her sire is a Blue buck that I gave him last year. BOS went to Hilary and Lisa with their awesome Gray buck that has been winning quite a bit for them. I left right after Blacks and Blues were finished in show B, so not sure what won then. It was really hot in the building that day (warmer than it was outside!), and I wanted to get the rabbits home where it's a lot cooler for them.
Silver Martens didn't do so well either. MaryAnn had a really nice little Black jr buck that won BOB in show A. The Bledsoes won BOS with a Black doe. Not sure if it was the same rabbits that won in show B, but I think they were.
In litter news, yesterday Sasha, Ladybug, and Lacey all had litters. Morgan was in the middle of picking fur when I was out there an hour ago. Just waiting on Belle Starr and Lilo. Then Trelawn Ruby D is due on Wednesday. She's bred to Trelawn Bad@$$.
Today I'm planning on rebreeding several does that just came off litters.

Updated For Sale List

Hope everyone made it through the heat last week. All the rabbits here did well. My rabbits are in the back corner of our backyard, where they are always shaded by the neighbors' trees, making it a lot cooler for them.
I went through the rabbits this last week to figure out whose going to the GNWRCSG show next weekend in Monroe, and who will be for sale.
The following are now available for sale:

DDRC- Black Jr buck (only 7 weeks old) out of Kooper (RGC/4 legs) x Siren (RGC/4 legs). He's a bit flatter in type, and peaks a bit too soon. His cheeks come a bit into his whisker bed, with his blaze narrowing a bit.

DDPC- Black jr buck (about 4 months old) out of Rascal (RGC/3 legs) x Porshe (RGC/3 legs). Nice little buck, he just needs to fill in a bit over the loin. I just have two other Black bucks I'm keeping over him. Has nice markings.

DDPE- Black jr doe (about 4 months old) out of Rascal (RGC/3 legs) x Porshe (RGC/3 legs). She just needs to fill in a bit over the loin. Has nice markings other than her saddle being a bit wavy.

DDE7- Blue jr doe (about 5 months old) out of Desperado (RGC/7 legs) x Delaney (RGC/5 legs). She has excellent markings, and an excellent head for a doe. Type wise, she's just a bit longer in the midsection, and peaks a bit too soon. I have 4 other Blue does that I'm keeping over her. She's placed high in shows, getting some seconds and thirds in very large classes.


For the show, I'm only showing 6 Dutch. I have a few who are currently molting who are staying home. They should have coats by the Clusters of Specialties show next month in Monroe. Rabbits that will be shown are:

Dutch
DDZB Black Jr buck
Aurora Black Jr doe
DDUC Blue Jr buck
Cover Girl Blue Sr doe
Revlon Blue Jr doe
DDT4 Blue Jr doe

Silver Marten
Robin Blue Sr doe
Stormy Blue Jr buck
Rainy Blue Jr doe

This will be the first show for DDZB, a super promising little buck out of Kooper x Zoe. He's really young, however makes minimum weight already. I'm only taking him along, as this is a local show for us (only 45 minutes!).
As this is the last all breed show for almost 3 month, this will be the last show for Robin, before Nicole and I breed her.
In litter news, I have 7 litters due next week (6 Dutch, 1 SM). Over at Nicole's house, Sabra (RGC/7 legs, 1 BIS) the Silver Marten had a litter of 9 by Riddle (RGC/3 legs). There are 4 Blues, and 5 Blacks! We're hoping to actually have a Black doe in this litter (last time we had Blacks in a litter, both were bucks).
