I will be attending the Tulare Show on Saturday & Sunday next weekend :-) Both days there are double youth & double open, with sunday having an open Mini Lops Specialty. I am really looking forward to it, since the last show I had was over a month ago (I know, CA has a lot of shows! lol)
Here's my show list -
8th -
Youth -
Sundance Kid - SSB - Opal
Emma - SSD - Lilac Chin
Sparkling Silver - SSD - Black Chin
Cody - BJB - Chesnut
Sidney - BSD - Chesnut
Natasha - BJD - Opal
9th -

ML Specialty -
Undecided. Possibly Sparkling Silver and Cody.
I will also be picking up my polytray trays there! :-) If you know anyone wanting some metal 36' by 24 trays in good condition email me. I am still deciding how much to sell them for, but it will be reasonable.
I hope to see many of you at the show! If you haven't met me before, but would like to come say hi, send me an email and I'll tell you how to find me ;)

Rabbitry Happenings
I am going to update the website within the next few days. I need to update the breedings, juniors, nursery, and links pages. I also have to make a page for Dusty's litter, but I am hoping to do that this weekend.
Speaking of Dusty's babies, they are doing great! Last time I check, all but one are bucks ;) *sighs* Oh well, these babies are cute! I really like the solid opal, I might be looking at one of my future herd bucks, if his body turns out nicely. I swear, agoutis have been my breeding luck for the last 8 months lol. I should say "Unintentionally specializing in Agoutis"
I just rebred Cinnamon to Sundance. I am crossing my fingers for a nice doe replacement for her! :D
Muchi, my broken opal buck, went to live with Yu. Trixie and Dallas are going to live with Amy Stewart and family :-) I am sure they will love their new additions.
I am trying to figure what seniors I am going to be selling. Let me know if you are interested in some of my senior does, or possibly a broken buck.

New Bunny
Hoppin's Nicolette, a broken lilac steel, is the new addition coming! I will be getting a new doe from Qadoshyah of Hoppin' Herd of Hares in a few days! She is a junior Broken Gold Tipped Lilac Steel. She should really help me with my lilacs, she is a very promising girl! I have decided to name her Hoppin's Nicolette :) Her father is JT's Amaretto and her mother is Hoppin's Sugar Dust. Sugar Dust is out of my old Herdsire, Velotta's Raymond, so Nicolette should mesh into my lines well :) I am anxious to get her when I go to visit Qadoshyah in a few days!
While visiting, we will also be breeding one of my does to her buck. I will be breeding my broken chocolate doe, SSR's Truffle, to her broken lilac buck, Hoppin's Daquiri. Hopefully they will make some pretty babies! I will probably be rebreeding Cinnamon back to Sundance soon as well :)
Dusty's babies are doing well! Their eyes opened a few days ago! Pictures soon!

Litters - 4 Weeks Old
The litters are doing will! :-) I have my eyes on a few of the cuties! A broken chesnut buck from Cinnamon & and Broken Opal Doe from Ice. I also really like the broken opal buck, but since he's unshowable I don't really have room to grow him out just to breed him & I can always repeat the breeding. The broken opal doe is soooo cobby, it's amazing. She doesn't have as much head as her sister, but her's is not bad at all! The broken chesnut is incredibly thick & compact. He should help with a few things in my line I've been wanting to add. I want to rebreed Cinnamon back to Sundance, this time hoping for a bigger litter as well as some chocolates!
On another note, Dusty & Starlight are due to kindle this monday. I am excited to see what they have! I have given them nests already & they have been working! lol. I am excited for some more babies from these does, they produce very nice stock. I will that these babies available with me at the Paso Robles show in April, if anyone's interested. I'm only planning on keeping one baby, if that.

1/12 KCRBA Backyard Show
I had a fun time at the show! I was clerking for Judge Randy Shumaker for a majority of the day. I got to see some DQ's I had never seen before - so it was a learning experience! :-)
In Show A & B my doe from Convention, Kitsemble's Sidney, won BOB. Those are her first 2 legs! I am hoping I can grand her out this spring so I can try to get some babies from her. She should help my herd out a lot!
On the Best in Show table, Sidney did well! In Show A she got Honorable Mention & in Show B she took Reserve in Show!
BIS in both shows when to Berlena Reynolds.

Pictures of the Babies!
Blue Ice's babies, sired by Sundance Kid! There are 2 Broken Opals and 1 Broken Blue.

New Litters! :-)
On December 31, Blue Ice gave me a litter of 3 healthy broken opals sired by GC Sundance Kid! 2 have awesome markings, but one unfortunately has no nose markings, just like Ice. Oh well, it can still be a good breeding animal!
On January 2, GC Apple Cinnamon gave me a litter of 2 healthy broken chesnut/chinchilla sired by GC Sundance Kid! We are VERY excited for this litter, and hope to attain some goals with them :-)
Dusty had a litter of 4, but they froze during the night due to the lack of fur in the nest :-( We will be rebreeding her soon!
Our next show is in a few days, we'll tell you of our results :-)
