More updates

Last weekend was the Bremerton show. Didn't do so great, but it was expected. Revolver was 2nd of 3 both shows. Rodeo was 3rd of 5 in show A, and 2nd in show B. In show A, first place went to DDRC, a rabbit I sold last month for his second leg. Piper was BOV in show A for her second leg. Show B she won her class, but am not sure if there were enough breeders for a leg...
In show A- BOB went a Chocolate buck owned by my boyfriend's sister Allison. It was her first win with her rabbits, so she was excited. BOS went to a Black doe of Pete's. Allison's buck was a honorable mention in show.
In show B- BOB went to a young Blue buck of Pete's. not sure who won BOS, but it probably was Pete. Pete's Blue buck was Reserve in Show.
For Silver Martens, Stormy was BOB both shows, and Rainy was BOS both shows. Sadly there were only 4 Martens, so we were one short for a leg :(
A Netherland Dwarf that I picked for BOB in show A won Best in Show in show B, which was fun to see my placements consistent with the other judges. It was a gorgeous rabbit!
Saturday is the Monroe show. I need to get my entry together, since today is the deadline. I will be showing Revolver, Rodeo, and Piper again, along with two Blue jrs, a buck (Bentley x Ladybug) and a doe (Bentley x Sasha). Then Silver Martens, will have Stormy and Rainy again. Need to take a look at the two Black jr does, to see if I'll be entering them in it.
On the litters front, Zoe and Sushi are due today. Trelawn Ruby D, bred to Bentley, had her litter this morning. This is my first litter from Ruby, since she came to live here, so am excited to hopefully get something nice out of the litter :)
DDUC, a Blue sr buck, was sold to a 4-H kid. I currently have 3 proven brood does still for sale, Morgan and Lila, who there is info on my for sale page for them. Then Lacey is also for sale. She is a Blue who is about 3 years old, and a great mom. She is the dam to Tessa (RGC/5 legs). If you go to the my rabbits page of my website, you can see pics and info on her.
I also have 2 Blue jr does for sale. Both have a few marking flaws, but are super typey animals! They are both about 7 weeks old.

Updates

It's been awhile since I've updated this. Been busy here. Been judging at several fairs in the last month. This last weekend I just did both 4-H and open at the state fair. I guess I got labeled the "hard judge" by the kids for fit and show, lol.
I have three litters due within a few weeks. Not sure of the exact date, since I'm not by my calendar. Zoe, Sushi, and Trelawn Ruby D are all bred to Rimfire. Everyone is being bred to him right now, as he will be leaving at the Kennewick show to live in Montana along with Porshe and Tessa.
I have about 3 litters that are 5 weeks old right now, then both Maybelline and Belle Starr have their first litters who are about 3 weeks old.
Next show is Bremerton on the 27th. The following weekend is Monroe, and the next weekend is Kennewick. I'm judging at Bremerton, then am a back up judge for Monroe. I don't have much to show at these shows however... It looks like I might only be showing 3 Dutch: Piper, Revolver, and Rodeo. My other does I had been showing (Cover Girl, Revlon, and Aurora) are all in horrible molts, so will be getting bred soon. I do have two young juniors coming up, but they still have baby coats. Kennewick, I wouldn't normally be going to, but I have the trio to deliver to go to Montana, plus Nicole will be there so we can swap out rabbits.
For Silver Martens, Nicole and I have two for sure, Stormy and Rainy. The two Black jr does don't quite have coats yet, will probably put them in Kennewick though. Both have awesome type. One of them will be for sale. At Kennewick, Pasha, Ra-Dan's Alli, and Riddle's Flicka will all be leaving to make their trip to convention, then to live in Wyoming with their new owners.
