Rabbit Show Wins

"Best in Exhibition Rare/Heritage Breed " Show and ARBA Show

This past weekend we competed at the ARBA show in Monroe. It was a very good day all around. Mini Lops did very well -- our little junior broken doe won BOSB in the A show and our little junior broken buck "John Wayne" won his class in B show. We have 4 very promising juniors to move on to Davenport....and a couple of others in the barn that might tag along also.

The English Angoras once again surprised us. They were a big question mark on even being loaded into the car on Friday as grooming is always intensive. Well I finished the doe and then started on "Stinking Boy"...also known as LanaKila (Victorious One in Hawaiian). I used the large brush on his "skirt" area as Jake did the shop-vac blowing. At dark we called it good to go.

He won BOSB in show B and Akiko my little doe won BOB in A show. That is her second leg - both BOB. We are still debating on if they will go to Davenport.

In place of the Mini Rex, we took the Cinnamons. We have 3 that we felt were truly outstanding and judges agreed. They have come along way! We also participated in the special Exhibition show put on by the NW Rare and Heritage Rabbit Breeders Club and our Cinnamon won! This is actually the second year a Cinnamon has won. About 15 breeds were represented and an outstanding Silver Fox took "Reserve".

Emily will be home later this week and the busy summer season will be started!
