Last weekend was state convention, which was a lot of fun. I went with 17 rabbits, and came home with only 11. It's nice having a lot of empty cages! Here's some of my results:

Saturday Results:
Judge Scott Williamson
DDLB (Black Jr Buck)- BOSV, 1st of 8
DDAE (Black Jr Buck)- 3rd of 8
Pipsqueak (Blue Sr Doe)- 1st of 4

Sunday Results:
Judge Connal Addison
DDLB (Black Jr Buck)- 2nd of 8
DDAE (Black Jr Buck)- 3rd of 8
DDSE (Black Sr Doe)- 2nd of ?
Pipsqueak (Blue Sr Doe)- 1st of 4
Paisley (Blue Jr Doe)- 2nd of 6 (to the Best of Breed rabbit-- judge went back and forth between them!)

Big congrats to Jan on her Best of Breed, and Reserve in Show both days with a gorgeous little Blue jr doe! She said the grandma is a doe she had gotten from me. She also had a gorgeous little Blue jr buck from the same litter as the doe that did well for her. Jean was Best Opposite Sex both days, with two different Tort bucks.
For the Silver Martens, Maddy was Best of Breed both days. Arson was Best Opposite Sex on Saturday. Maryann was BOS on Sunday with a Black buck.
I do not have any show rabbits for sale right now, however do have some pet quality rabbits available. Come this fall, I should have more breeding stock for sale.
Next show is in three weeks in Monroe.

For Sale

Keep meaning to put up some for sale rabbits, but things have been really busy here lately. Here's my current for sale list:

DDPF a 4 1/2 month old Black buck. Really nicely typed rabbit, he just has a few marking flaws. I'd like his saddle to be a bit straighter, and he has a small drag off the back of his neck. He has a super sweet personality! Always insists on attention at feeding time. He's out of Revolver (RGC/4 legs) and Piper (RGC/3 legs).

DDAG a 3 month old Black doe. She's nicely marked, just a bit small, and hasn't really developed for type yet. She's out of Desperado (RGC/7 legs) and Sasha (RGC/3 legs). I don't have a picture of her yet, but can take one if requested.

DDCB a 4 1/2 month old Blue doe. A really nice doe, super type, and really nice markings, other than her stops, which are really long. Stops are a marking that I'm picky on, but everything else on her is really super. She's already been to one show, and got excellent comments. I just have another Blue doe the same age that I like better. She's out of Rodeo (Reg/2 legs) and Cover Girl (Reg/1 leg).

All three will be with me at State Convention this weekend. I'll be showing nine Dutch, all of which are juniors except two. Nicole and I are showing three Silver Martens. I was going to post pics of my upcoming juniors, but when I try to make the pics smaller, it changes the look of the pic, and makes them all flat, even though they are not.

Venus and Ruby D both have litters that are at weaning age right now. Piper and Zoe just had litters last week. Rainy the Silver Marten had a litter of seven (4 Blue, and 3 Black) to Arson, our recent BIS winner.

Over the next couple of days I'll be breeding several does. Desperado is leaving this weekend, so he'll be bred to several does. Him and Sushi are going to go live in Vancouver. Maybelline and Aurora will be going to live in Ellensburg.
