Bubbly the odd Dutch

Bubbly, my odd little Dutch, turned 6 weeks old last weekend. I took new pics of him last week, and have posted them on facebook, but figured I'd post them here too. To me, he still looks just like a Champagne colored rabbit. An overly ticked Steel could maybe explain him also, even though I've never seen a Steel this ticked (for any breed). Also, the fact that the color is silver, whereas Steel Dutch have no way of being silvered with their genetics, unless you throw Chinchilla into the mix (which there is no Chinchilla in the rabbit).

I have had two judges call him Magpie, which I don't agree with. I think there would be bars/bands over the back if he was. Another judge has said that he looks like the latest mutation, as it's through mutations that we've gotten all of the colors that we have today.

I have compared him up against a friend's Silver Fox, and he's very similar to that, other than the fact that he's a lot more silvered (as a Champagne would be).

I was wanting to take him to State this weekend, but don't want to stress him out. I will be taking him to the GNW show with me though. I have taken him to a NWRB meeting with me, where he was a big hit.

Updates

State Convention is in a week. I only entered 5 Black Dutch (no Blues :( ).

Maverick- Sr buck
Casanova- Jr buck
Rogue- Sr doe
and 2 little jr does, it'll be their first time out

Just went through them yesterday, and all but Maverick are molting :( Not expecting anything with the Dutch. Just hoping Casanova's coat comes in for the GNW show a few weeks later. We'll be having a double dutch specialty the night before, making it a quaduple show for us Dutch breeders. Mattering on Casa's weight, I will most likely bump him up to senior that weekend, in hopes of granding him, as this will be my last show until September. We normally have a Dutch specialty in August, but we moved it to the GNW show to save our club money. Only thing that sucks about that is that I had a bunch of litters bred for it...

On the Martian front, Nicole and I are only showing Arson and Coal at state.

I will have several rabbits for sale at state, both Dutch and Silver Martens. Four of my Dutch were suppose to go up to Canada, but the buyer had to back out. Here's whose available, more info can be found on both websites:

Dutch for sale:
Maverick- Black sr buck- 1 leg (BOS)
DDLEP- Black jr buck (not on my website yet, email me for details, really nice buck)
Ladybug- Black sr doe- proven brood doe- RGC/6 legs (2 BOB's of 80, 1 Reserve in Show win)
Trelawn Delta- Black sr doe- proven brood doe- Reg
Diesel- Blue sr buck- 1 leg (BOS)

I have been breeding both Maverick and Diesel to my does, and am getting some nice rabbits out of them. I just have too many bucks. Also trying to cut my brood doe number down, which is why Ladybug and Delta are available. Any of these rabbits will go nicely as a pair or trio.
I might have a Black jr doe available also...

For the Silver Martens, Coal and Maddy will both be for sale, along with our Maddy and Pyro litters. Phoenix also has a litter, that will be available a few weeks later.

I've also been updating my website a lot more lately, working at getting all the articles from my old site updated/posted. Several are now up, keep checking back for more updates!
