Beginning in blacks

OK, I know I said several times that we were only going to raise blue and chocolate dutch. We don't have the room to work on 3 varieties. In fact we had a black buck for a while and sold him. After all we weren't planning on raising blacks.

Well that all changed recently. A fellow breeder needed to clear out his small herd in a hurry. We went down to his house and picked up the whole lot. Well the girls and I couldn't bear to sell the blacks that were included in the package with the blues and chocolates. They are some nice quality animals. So....... now we are going to begin raising and showing black dutch as well as our blue and chocolate.

We are excited to get to the next show table.

Chelsea Community Fair

Well after attending Ingham county fair only a couple weeks ago, we headed off to the Chelsea community fair this week. Today was the rabbit show. Whew, what a day. We did great with our dutch. The girls won Best of Breed with Bellairs Olivia ( a chocolate jr. doe), and Best Opposite of Breed with Bellairs Jasper (blue sr. buck). Then Olivia advanced to Best 4 class and Best in Show. What an exciting day!

Fair Week

Well here we are at the end of an incredible week with the kids and bunnies at the fair. We have had a great time and have done great. Show day was extremely warm with temps in the high 90's. The girls did alright in showmanship but got nervous and forgot what they were doing.

Allison's bunny (Jasmine) placed Best of Breed with Sammy's bunny (Jasper) taking best opposite. Then Allison went on to win best 4 class and Best in Show. It was awesome and a great accomplishment as there are a lot of nice rabbits in our fair.

Now they are extremely tired but happy and they are already talking about next year.
