Well, Everything is going good here. It turns out that Chanelle has two torts. Not as exciting as I was hoping for but at least its a litter. They are really cute though. They will probably be available. I know these are torts. Starburst's litter was not this and they look alot like what the HL's would look like.



Myrtle had three peanuts. UGH! I thought that they might have been but I had not messed with them that much but went in the third day to see what was what and found three peanuts. I do have a Broken with good pattern and one that I'm not sure about. Question for all you HL breeders: Does a HL with a pattern that would not be considered a charlie in ND's not be a Charlie in HL's? Here is a couple of pics of that kit.





In the picture above, you can see the stripe down the back with lots of dots. You can't see the dots very well but they are there.




In this picture, you can see it has a full butterfly, eye marks and has a few dots on its head. I know in the ND's this would be showable but I'm not sure about in HL's.

The Spartanburg show is coming up and we are all excited! We are taking seven and picking up four. We are getting a HL Sable Point Jr Doe from www.hollandlopsatnarrowgatefarm.com (Narrow Gate Farm), A HL Broken Siamese Sable SR Doe from Sherri Green, A ND Broken Chocolate Jr doe from Seven Dwarf's Rabbitry http://sevendwarfsrabbitry.weebly.com/index.html

and a Broken Black Fuzzy Lop JR Buck from Lile's Lops Rabbitry. http://www.lileslops.com/

Yes, we have decided to do a few Fuzzy Lops! We will be trying to get a few does over the next few months. We are getting this buck and will get does and see how it goes. My sister really likes them and so she is going to try to raise a few and even show.

Well, I have decided to sell my two Orange does. Well really one is a Broken. With us getting Fuzzy Lops and adding HL's we need the room and Oranges take up way to much space because you can't breed them to much. And I have Clara who just bred and the BEW' s will take alot room as well. It would be to much to try to do both Oranges and BEWs. Both does are bred and won't be ready until their litters are weaned which will be in March sometime but I can hold them.

We have been very busy and with Christmas coming we have sold all of our available bunnies. I know I've been slack but here is what we got at the Columbia show:

Siamese Sable HL buck
Tort HL doe
Broken Tort HL doe
Broken Blue Tort HL doe

I finally got around to putting pics up. I also had another litter. Mask had 3 babies on the 4th and so far so good! There are two siamese sables and a himi.

Anyways other than that there isn't much else. If I don't get another post up before Christmas, I want to wish each and everyone of you a very Merry Christmas!!!!!!

Conyer's show

Well the Conyer's show was today and we did pretty well. I think combined we got 6 legs but I won't know for sure until I get the results. I know Irene got BOS twice and I'm pretty sure Jacob won a leg in each show so that would be three legs. I think Clara got one as well. Butterball did very well and got BOG and Best brokens but their weren't enough bunnies to get a leg. Hershey also did fairly well and I'm not really sure what he got. I think it was a good show and everybody had fun but it lasted all day!!





We came home with a few new additions:

Green's Lilic - Pointed White HL doe: We are very excited about this little doe. She is a brood doe but we are very excited.


Green's Mason - Sable Point HL buck: Mason is very sweet and we can't wait to show him.



Green's Tonka - Black Otter buck: Tonka is a False Dwarf I think but he has pretty nice type so I will breed him to my smaller does and see what I can get out of him.

Can you believe it is already November? The days go by fast! I lost Dancer's whole litter. :( I'm not really sure what happened. Well I'll just try again.

Starburst babies are doing great. I think I mentioned that the sire is my Siamese Sable buck, Jacob. Most of you are probably thinking "Why would you breed a Orange to a Sable??" but let me tell you the story.......

Starburst, my broken orange nd doe became broody at about 4/5 months so I decided "why not try to breed her? She's young, and does normally miss the first time." Then the question came. "Who do I breed her to???" At the time, I had no chocoalates, oranges, ect. Her type is OK and my sable buck has really nice type so I thought "why not?" So the 31 days went by and a week before I put hay and a box in. Not expecting much. I went out to feed and water on her due date who is ripping out fur?!? I was shocked! It turned out to be chestnuts. I pictured them below: (These are random photos, I didn't get them at the same age.)

Chestnut Doe

Aren't we cute?



Broken Chestnut buck

So after that I bred her to my broken orange buck "Fireball" and she missed. Then I got to thinking "That was fun getting chestnuts, I'm going to try that again" and got TORTS!! What a suprise. I took this picture today:

Aren't they adorable?!? They are so sweet!!! Starburst won't be going anywhere any time soon! :) She is a great mom! Thank you Andrea at Peachtree Rabbitree for this sweet doe!

I updated the website and took Broken Splash off. She is turning out way nicer than I thought so I bred her to Hershey. I might sell her in the future but for right now I want to see what I can get. Cocoanut our HL doe is due tomorrow and if she kindles I will write a new post.

~ Until next time ~

I never know what to put for my title. :) I was taking photos of Dancer and Mask's litter and wanted to share.


This is Dancer's doe. I think she is a himmie marten but I'm not sure yet. She is really sweet. When I took this picture, she kept checking everything out. :)


This is Mask's baby. I love this little doe. She gets a lot of attention :). She wouldn't hold its eyes open lol. It turned out to be a Smutty himi.

The Fairview show is this weekend and I'm really exited. TNT

Busy

Where to start?!? It's been so long since I've wrote a post. Now to the litters!

I will start by saying that sadly Emma's litter did not make it. They were pretty small so. Maybe extended peanuts? I don't really know.

Jacob x Dancer ~ 1 kit: Dancer did have three but sadly two didn't make it. They were smaller than their litter mate. She is doing great with one though!

Jacob x Mask ~ 1 kit: Mask had three but this time I think was a little stressed and was as great of a mom. These were also small. It ended up she has a smutty himmie.

Vixen had a kit but it also died a few days ago.... She is raising Mask's though. I was just glad she had a live kit because when I bought her, she had only had stillborns.

It's been in the 70's this week and I can feel the hope of fall!! It is suppose to warm up to 80's this week but still better than 90's. :) Hope all my bunny friends have a good week!!! Until next time, God Bless!!

~ Litters ~

Emma had another litter a couple days ago.

Jacob x Emma ~ 2 kits: Emma actually had 4 kits but 1 was a DOA and one was a peanut. I am so confused about this litter. At first I thought she had a two himi's, then one started getting a light color to it so I thought it was a smoke pearl. Then yesterday what I thought was a himi also started getting color so I have know idea what I have. I guess time will tell....

Starburst missed this time so I rebred her yesterday as well as the HL does. Mask,and Annabell are due this week.

Broken Splash is still on the For Sale page but I also added a HL jr buck. Since we have two we decided we didn't need him. Email me if your interested.

It is suppose to cool down a little bit this week and be 90 instead of 100. It will be a welcome break for me and the bunnies.

Where to start? First I'll start off by saying it is very hot here! A few days ago it reached 100! I'll be glad when August is gone!

Now I'll talk about litter's:(The ones below are a couple weeks old)

Himi x Peanut Butter ~ 1 kit - Peanut Butter has one black buck. He has pretty nice type so I think I will keep him. He does not have scattered white hairs, so I'll try to show him and see what he does.

Himi x Broken Lace (BL)~ 2 kits - I never know what to expect from BL. This litter she has a broken black buck and a black doe. I am going to keep the buck for a while and see what he produces. He has pretty nice type as well so I'll try to show him too. I was going to sell the doe but decided to keep her and see what I get out of her and Hershey. Bl's last litter she had 4 kits and had a weird mix. She had a chocolate, (that sadly was a fader) a Broken Black, 2 Broken Torts. One of the torts and the broken black had blanketed pattern. Something I haven't had before. The other broken was a false charlie. I rebred BL to Jacob a few days ago.

I also got four new bunnies a couple weeks ago:

Broken Orange buck - RD's Fireball: Fireball originally came from Washington State. He will be a good thing to cross on Starburst. He has pretty nice type but has to much color to show.

Smoke Pearl Marten doe - Holden's Dancer: Dancer is a BUD but I am hoping to get some nice stuff out of her and Jacob. Her type is pretty good and she had 5 kits in her last litter at Peachtree Rabbitree.

Siamese Smoke Pearl doe - Holden's Vixen: Vixen almost won a leg at the show last year. I am hoping that she will produce some show stock for me. She is a littermate to Dancer.

Chocolate Buck - Seven Dwarf's Sir Hershey "Hershey": I am really excited about this little buck. He will be perfect for my Otter program. I can't wait till he's old enough to breed.

I added Broken Splash to the For Sale page. I don't really want to sell this little doe but I think it will be best. She is a beautiful bunny and will do good for a brood doe. She is out of BL so her sis was a Choc. Email me for more info if your interested.


TNT, Keep Cool!
