Test Results

I got my Registrar's Test Results yesterday in the mail and I am happy to say that I passed! I got 95% on the oral and 92% on the written. Hopefully I can start working under judges soon.

In other news, I will try to make a page for Cinnamon's babies later today, after I got take some pictures of them. They are SO cute. I need to sex them as well. Right now, I want to keep the Chocolate Chinchilla (buck, I think). He is too cute!

I had a great time at the show today, it was a lot of fun even though the weather was a bit warm this weekend. I definitely need to start bringing fans to shows, lol. I spent a part of the day clerking for Chris Zemny, who is an amazing judge. I got to see Rhinelanders for the first time in person, and they were stunning. Full arch breeds are so gorgeous and elegant! I snapped a few pics of them, which I'll have to upload onto the computer within the next few days. I'm playing "catch up" right now with my email, website, and camera lol.

So, I got another leg on Sidney, granded Emma, and got 2 more legs on Cody. Yayyy for another homebred Grand Champion! I sold 4 bunnies too, so I now have some more empty cages. I still have Dusty, Nick, and SND2 available so please inquire if you're interested.
