~ Triple Crown bunny show in Spartanburg, SC 2012 ~

The Triple Crown show in Spartanburg was this past Saturday. We didn't have very much to show in the Holland Lops and with our ND's we didn't get much in show A but in show B my Black Himi doe, Kya, got Best of Group and Best Junior of Group in the open show. And then in show C she got Best Opposite Sex of Group as well as Best Junior of Group in the open show. She is my first homebred bunny to win a leg!!! And she won two!

We have several does due over the next few days and if any of them kindle, I write a new post. I don't remember all of what we got at the show so when our results come in the mail I will post them. We picked up some new bunnies and I will try to post them tomorrow.

All of the litters here at Son Rose Rabbitry are doing well. One of Chanelle's torts are blue. Myrtle's babies are all well too.

The Spartanburg show is this Saturday and we are excited! We have added a few new rabbits to pick up since my last post.......

Like I said before we are getting a Broken Chocolate ND, a Sable Point HL, a Broken Siamese Sable HL, and a Fuzzy Lop. In addition to that we are getting: A Black ND buck from Spring Creek Gems, a Blue Otter ND buck, and a Blue Otter HL Buck. We are excited!

Our show results for Columbia came in the mail yesterday. Jacob got BOB twice and Irene once and then a few first and second places.

Our Black ND buck himi is available. I decided I needed a better black in the program because he has Himi and Tort in his background and I really need a better Black self buck to breed to some of my Otters. So we are getting a black buck.....

I'll try to post at least one more time before the show. We can also bring any of the rabbits for sale to the Spartanburg show so if you are coming and are interested in something available, feel free to send us an email!

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.

I hope everyone enjoyed their new year! The new year has brought ALOT of successful breedings! Yay! I also had two new litters!! Here is what we have:

Green's Mason - Broken Sable Point HL Buck X NGF Myrtle - Broken Tort HL Doe ~ 3 Legs ~ 5 Kits: Myrtle isn't a Sable Point carrier so this whole litter is Broken Torts but we are hoping we can take any daughters and breed them back to the father. Some are Charlies like their dad and some are like Myrtle.

Son Rose Himi - Black ND Buck X Peachtree's Chanelle - Blue ND Doe ~ 2 Kits:
This is Chanelle's first live litter and she is doing great! I think there is two blue otters?? I'm not really sure. They might even be Lilacs!? I guess time will tell.

Mask's litter is doing good. The himi is a doe and one of the siamese Sables is a buck and the other is a doe.

.....Smith's Rose - SR Black Himi doe: Rose is a sweet little doe and has very nice type. She is a BUD but has the roundness in her body that I am excited to get into the lines. Here is a picture of her:







The second doe (Raddison's Liberty) is Rose's daughter. Jacob is her sire. What happened is they brought Rose here and bred her to Jacob and then decided to sell both Rose and Liberty. I am excited about both. Here is a picture of Liberty:

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!!!!!!

~ Columbia show ~

The columbia show was today and we did very well. Jacob got BOB in show A and then went up for the Best in show and got best Reserve. In show B, Irene and Jacob both got BOB. The rest got very good comments as well.

We came home with four bunnies. I'll try and take pics soon. I'll write about them soon.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was taking photos yesterday and the photo of Mya wasn't a good one and so I took a new one. Here is that pic.

She is such a nice doe! She can't be shown since she is a marten but I will keep her to breed to Jacob and try to get Sable Martens to show. She is very sweet too.

I added some bunnies to the for sale page that will be ready to go for Christmas. Let me know if your interested.
