Last Show and Lionheads for Sale

Well, the last show of the year is now over.  We did very well with multiple Best of Variety and Best Opposite Sex of Variety awards on our Lionheads.  This show was fairly large and there were many Lionheads exhibited.  The judges had very good comments about our bunnies.  We are looking forward to the shows starting up again next year!

At the show, we got some new Lionhead breeding stock in the color Siamese Sable.  We also purchased a new tort French Angora junior buck to use in our breeding program.  I bought him too late to show at show a, so I entered him in show b where he took Best of Breed and Best of Variety.  Not bad considering he was a spur of the moment entry:).

I have made the decision - I will be breeding New Zealand Reds.  I really love the color.  I will probably have a breeding pair of New Zealand Whites and then have maybe a trio of reds.  I am thinking that maybe I should just get out of my Satins so I can better focus on my New Zealands and French Angoras.  It is hard to decide now - I will make the decision end of January when I pick up my new stock.

We have lots of Lionheads for sale!  We have reduced the price of our Lionheads so we can move them out quickly.  They are very nice quality but have to move out so we have room for babies.  Some were shown and received great comments.  Please visit our website for a complete list and information on each bunny.  Pictures are shown at younger ages - since then they have really developed and grown out their manes.

Rabbitry Update

I haven’t been very good about keeping up with this blog, but I have been very busy.  Here is the latest news in the rabbitry. 

We have bred quite a few of our breeding stock – New Zealands, French Angoras, and Lionheads.  Some of the litters are current and some are upcoming!  Both of my beautiful New Zealand does had their litters fairly recently – about 3 weeks apart.  Tracey had 6 chunky babies and Snowflake had 11 born, with 9 still around.  I am very impressed with this doe’s mothering abilities.  This is her first litter and she is doing an excellent job caring and doting over her family.  Perhaps she will have the best success rate of all my does?!  So far it looks like there are 7 bucks and 2 does.  I really hope that some of those “bucks” do turn out to be does as I don’t know if I could manage 7 of them.  They are in the ? faze right now so I am really hoping that at least some turn out to be does!  If not then I should have some very nice bucks available for sale!    

As for the other litters, I am expecting 2 litters of French Angoras, one of which is due on Independence Day (not purposely planned).  We are also expecting a whole bunch of Lionhead litters.  Please check out our website to see our current and upcoming litters as there are way too many to list here!

Unfortunately, we have not been able to attend any shows lately.  The last one we attended was in March, so it has been a fairly long time!  We plan on attending a show on August 25^th, located in Charlotte Michigan.  From there it will lead to a show in September, plus a few others later in the year.  For this reason, we are not going to have very many rabbits available for sale during this time, as most of the breedings that we have done were specifically for these shows. 

Right now we do have some very nice rabbits looking for new homes.  The following rabbits are available for purchase:

Blossom Acres’ Ocean Storm, Jr. Opal French Angora buck, born April 3^rd, 2012.  Out of a grand champion chocolate buck and a red doe.  This rabbit has a very nice body and beautiful fiber.  Chocolate carrier.  $50 with pedigree

I also have a broken black satin doe for sale as a pet.  Spot has a nice personality and is very flashy.  I really need the cage space so I am letting her go.  $15 no pedigree

I also have 2 chestnut French Angoras, full siblings, a buck and a doe.  I have decided to keep both babies for now as I am trying to figure where I am going in my breeding program.  I may keep 1 or both, time will tell!  Please contact me and ask to go on the waiting list if interested!  Both are chocolate carriers and very nice quality. 

Well, that wraps up the updates.  I will keep everyone posted!
