The ERBA show in Yelm was last Saturday. Other than it being freezing cold, it went well (took forever to unfreeze from it!). My rabbits did a lot better than I was expecting! I was not expecting anything with the Dutch, and only took four of them, but was very happy with their results.
Rodeo (Black Sr Buck)- 1 of 2 both shows
DDSC (Black Jr Doe)- BOSV of 3 both shows
Ariel (Blue Sr Doe)- Not sure what she placed in show A, I think she was third, but in show B, she was Best of Breed for her third granding leg!
Pipsqueak (Blue Sr Doe)- my biggest surprise of the day, in show A she was Best Opposite Sex (second leg), and show B was 2nd to Ariel. Not bad for a doe who was just skin and bones two months ago!
Then the Silver Martens also did very well, which Nicole and I have three really nice ones coming up.
Arson (Black Jr Buck)- Best Opposite Sex both show for his first two legs
Maddy (Black Sr doe)- I think she was 1st of 2 in the first show... Show B she was Best of Breed for her second leg!
Flame (Blue Jr doe)- Not sure how she did... I think she might have been second both shows.
For only taking 7 rabbits, not bad getting 2 BOB's, and 3 BOS's! Since this was the 60th anniversary show for the ERBA, they had cool prizes. BOB got glass beer steins, and BOS got glasses.
I judged the youth show during show A (and partly into show B), so saw several breeds. BIS went to a gorgeous White Mini Rex (not sure of the owner's name), with RIS being a really nice Black Polish of Jessica's (Jan's grand daughter). Show B, I judged a bunch of smaller breeds. I was extremely impressed with the Florida Whites that I judged, and it was really cool to see the one I picked go on to get BIS in show B, owned by Maryann. RIS show B went to the Silver that I also judged, which was also really nice. It was owned by Patsy.
Baby wise, I have four litters due on March 23rd, they are:
Stryker x Jill's Wild Blue Venus
Rodeo x Revlon
Desperado x Sasha
Bazooka x Zoe
Current litters are doing well. Looks like there are some nice show prospects for state convention :)
Next show isn't until May 2nd, the NWRB, which I'm judging at. The next day there will be a Dutch specialty. After debating over it for quite awhile, my dad and I decided to skip the Yakima show, including the specialty the next day.
I know it's been awhile since I've updated my website (so much easier to just update this). An update should be coming hopefully in the next week.
