We kicked off the show season well once again! Last Saturday we attended the Fall Michigan
State Rabbit Breeders Association Fall Convention held in East Lansing. It was a very well attended show which
represented a large variety of breeds.
We took some of our Lionheads and French Angoras for
exhibition. Both classes were very
large! I was excited to see that the
French Angoras were a really big class this year. There were many new faces as well as regulars
so it was really nice catching up with everyone and talking about this
wonderful breed. Here is the rundown of
the placings:

I also entered Forget-Me-Not and Butterflyweed in their breed
class and both placed high up there in both shows. I was really surprised with Butterflyweed
especially as she had just come off a litter but she was in good body flesh and
had a long enough coat so I decided to show her. I am getting really excited about what next
year’s show season will bring and am looking forward to putting some of my
babies I have now on the show table soon.
As a side note, we are breeding more French Angora and
Lionhead does for availability for next year.
We also currently have a nice selection of Lionhead, French Angora, and
English/French Hybrid angoras for sale on our website, so please check it
out!
Hope everyone has an enjoyable Thanksgiving!
