We have begun our show season yet again! On January 28th, Circle 6’s Frederick, took 1st in class colored Jr. Buck! Our REW senior doe, White Out, received 2nd in class. She was competing with rabbits in full show coat, which she wasn’t in… She did come home with great comments though.
We also showed our bunnies at the Michigan Convention Spring show which took place March 3rd and 4th, 2012. We took BOB Lionhead on the 3rd with Blossom Acres’ Frostbite, with around 25 in competition. Blossom Acres’ Stainless Steel, a siamese sable Lion, took BOV at that show. We also showed Blossom Acres’ Tangerine, who was awarded BOB & BOG, and Bonnie’s B15 “Nathaniel”, received BOS & BOG. We also got Nathaniel registered at that show. This buck has 2 legs towards his grand championship. We are hoping to get his third on soon so that he can be granded!
We also showed on the 4th and received BOV Lionhead with Frostbite, and BOS & BOV Lionhead with Stainless Steel. Tangerine took BOB and BOG French Angora, with her dad, Nathaniel, taking BOS and BOG French Angora. All in all it was a great show.
We also got a few new acquaintances to our rabbitry: Butter Brickle, a sr. chocolate agouti French Angora buck; Mr. Truffle, a chocolate Lionhead buck; Burnt Sienna, a chocolate Lionhead doe; Whiskey, a chocolate Lionhead doe; and La Petit Prince, a sable point Lionhead buck. Pictures of our new stock can be seen on our website: www.blossomcresrabbitry.webs.com.
We have litters in the nursery!!! Right now we have 3 beautiful kits from Frederick to Lily of the Valley- 1 smoke pearl buck (FOR SALE), 1 smoke pearl doe, and 1 black doe. We also bred Frederick to Missy and have 3 kits in this litter left as well- 1 opal buck, 1 blue buck (FOR SALE), and 1 chestnut doe. White Out also has a litter of 1 blue, 1 REW, 1 chinchilla, and 1 squirrel- all bucks. This whole litter is spoken for.
On the topic of French Angoras… we bred Missy to a Grand Champion Farfelu’s Cirrus, a chocolate buck. This litter is due April 4th- we are expecting some promising bunnies! I am going to grow this litter out before selling them, and hopefully get some winnings on them as well. Thank you again Shannon Carter for providing me this opportunity. I also bred Blossom Acres’ Lily of the Valley to Farfelu’s Butter Brickle; she is due the 15th of April. I also bred Blossom Acres’ Tangerine to Butter Brickle; she is due a little later than her sister. .
We also have 2 litters of Lionheads in the nursery, and several more on the way. Our upcoming litters are going to be exciting. We are expecting chestnuts, chocolates, possibly oranges, and many more colors from our does that are bred! Please visit our website for more information.
We currently have 3 French Angoras for sale- 1 smoke pearl buck, 1 blue buck, and 1 tort buck. We have 1 blue-tort Lionhead buck for sale as pet. We also have 1 junior New Zealand White buck for sale- with partial pedigree. www.blossomacresrabbitry.webs.com
That wraps everything up for now. I will update everyone as more happens.
