Last weekend was the Bremerton show. It was a very small show, with only enough rabbits in both my breeds for just BOB to get a leg.
Show A, Rogue won BOS, but there were not enough does for a leg. In show B she was BOV Black, which there *might* have been enough Blacks for her to win her 4th leg, but I won't know for sure until the show report comes.
In show A, Jan was BOB with a Black buck. In show B, Cassy was BOB with a Blue buck (whose dam is Double Dutch's Revlon) and Jan was BOS with her little Steel doe.
For the Martens, Arson was BOS in both shows, with Scott winning both BOB's.
I sold a very nice little Black jr buck to a Kitsap county 4-H kid. This is her second rabbit from me. I'm sure I'll regret selling him, but I have two other Black bucks the same age (one from the same litter) that I like just a bit better.
Nicole and I have two new Marten litters! Arson is the sire of both. Maddy had 7- 4 Blacks, and 3 Blues. Pyro had 6- 3 Blacks and 3 Blues. We've already had people putting in requests for these guys, before they were even born! These will be our young seniors for ARBA convention next Fall.
Phoenix will be going to her last show this Saturday, as I just bred her to Arson yesterday. These will be our older juniors for ARBA Convention! Nicole will be attending it, as she has a break in school that week, so we're hoping to do really well with our Martens!
I currently have about 4 Dutch litters, with another 7 due next week, and 5 more due in 3 weeks.
Ash is going to go live with 4-Her Dayna for a few months, so Dayna can experience having a litter. Ash will come back to me after weaning her litter, and Dayna will have a litter to keep. Dayna's family has a long history with mine. Her grandfather is best friends with my dad, I've known him since I was 4 years old. What started as him getting Dayna a "Easter rabbit" has turned into a 4-H project, with her coming back to me to get more rabbits to show. This will be her first time having a litter. They will be about 3 months old for the King County Fair this summer for her.
This weekend is Monroe. The entries are really down for it. Several breed nationals are going on this weekend. Nicole and I are showing 3 Martens (Arson, Phoenix, and Coal). Then I'll have 5 Dutch (Maverick, Rogue, Jewel, and the two little jr Black bucks, which this will be their first show).
My website is out of date. Not sure when I'll be able to update it, as we recently changed internet providers, which makes it hard for me to get online with my laptop (which is what my website is stored on). Also need to get a new virus protector on the laptop before going online with it again...

YVRB Show
Yakima show was a couple of weeks ago. We had about 47 Dutch there. Rogue won a BOV and BOSV Black. There were only enough rabbits for her to get one leg, for the BOV. This is her 3rd leg, which makes her a Grand Champion!
Show A BOB went to Vicki's gorgeous Tort doe, that should have won at the Yelm show!
BOS was Jan's Black buck.
Show B BOB went to Jean's Chocolate doe, with Jan getting BOS again with her Black buck.
For Silver Martens, Arson won BOS in show A, but got panned in show B. In both shows, Scott won BOB with two different does, both of which were Arson daughters!
Have a lot of shows coming up, Bremerton is this weekend, with Monroe the following week, and Davenport two weeks later (which we're having a Dutch specialty at). I will be judging at all three.
Have a few litters around 3 weeks old right now, and another 6 litters due in a few weeks. I need to get quite a few rebred still.
Already have people reserving rabbits to buy at State Convention. I have four that will be going up to Canada. He already has a few of my does that he got from a breeder who sold out of Dutch down here. He'll be getting Ladybug, Diesel, Maverick, and one more Black brood doe that I haven't decided on yet. This gives me a couple of months to breed both Maverick and Diesel to all of my does before they leave!
