Allison and I frequently (almost always) have different opinions on the rabbits. It is hard when it comes time to choose who stays and who go's. Allison sees flaws where I don't and vice versa. She usually is better at determining the show stock. Allison and Samantha learned a lot through the 4-H opportunities they had this summer.
Well we have this cute little blue doe that I fell in love with. She is out of our Grand Champion buck "Bubba" and a blue doe from Bergene's line. I thought she was special and wanted to keep her but wanted Allison's opinion first. We looked her over together and both agreed that she was really nice. I couldn't believe it, WE BOTH AGREED! That was so cool that we both felt the same way about this rabbit.
Well we named her Nikita and Allison took her to the county fair. Nikita won Best of
Breed and Sammy won Best opposite with a tiny little black buck. That was exciting. Nikita has traveled to 2 open shows recently and won Best variety and a Best opposite variety.
I hope this is a new beginning for our rabbitry. The girls can use the skills they learned and we can keep learning together. Our goal is to have consistency in our stock.
Dutch bunnies are awesome, but my kids are even better than that!
