A new breed!

A new breed has been added to the rabbitry.... The English Spots.
My fiance Robert and I had planned on getting him started in his favorite breed, next June at state convention, however when Stephanie of Los Conejos Rabbitry put up a pair of Grand Champions in one of the colors he wanted, we couldn't resist. He now has a Lilac buck name Meg's See Ya, and a Chocolate doe name LC's Carmina. Both are very nice animals, and compliment each other very nicely, and have great personalities. We bred the two of them together last week, so are excited to have our first litter with them!
Robert's rabbitry is going to be called "Sporting Spots Rabbitry". Starting in January, both them and the Dutch will all be entered under both our names. As his rabbits are in my barn, they're going to stay on the small side for now, but at state convention next June, we do plan on adding to them.
I've slowly been working at remodeling the rabbitry, and have gotten rid of several older cages. Robert's family still had most of their cages from when they raised rabbits, so we've been slowly working at getting them moved over here, as they're only a few years old and in great shape.
