Got new pics of the Gunner and Serena baby. The evenness and darkness of tan on this baby at 10 weeks is making me want to sell all my other blacks and just work with the Chevy and widow haven lines. Any other black out crosses I've done do not compare at all! I didn't get a belly pic because he was not liking being flipped. Let him out with my sweet girl Dana so she could show him how to run. She's looking nice and might go to the show with him on the 7th of june
Hey everyone! I havent updated yall in awhile. Alot has been going on with the bunnies lately. I named gunners son Mischief but he ended up passing away. I was pretty sad to see him go but got confirmation when he won second out of 12 junior bucks! The judge loved his color and said if his type was a little better he would have taken the whole show. I had a chocolate buck (Cruze) and a blue doe born early june. The blue doe has butting teeth. I havent figured out what to do with her but we may have to move her on to be dispatched. I dont want to breed her but also dont want a pet owner to have to deal with any teeth problems that she may develop. I have four other blue doe babies that are from the same breeding born in July. I also have four black babies out of Gunner and Malibu. The blacks are my first babies to come out of my own line and I must say so far I am pretty pleased. I only have pictures of Cruze and the blue doe when they were younger. Cruze already has two legs. I am taking all 10 to a show this weekend in Cleburne so hopefully Ill be able to get more pictures for you all
Oh Other sad news is that Seawolf passed away. We were trying to treat him with antibiotics from the vet. We werent sure if it was something blocking his airway or if it was a tumor but he was making a noise like a goose when he was breathing. This is very sad for my blue program because all I have left is Seashell from him.
I got so excited when I saw this thread on the forum from the front page I love your tans, they're so beautiful. I'm so sorry to hear about Seawolf and Mischief.
Came back from the show yesterday. I was slightly sad that there wasnt as much competition as I anticipated. Although my babies were so small I had quite a few good outcomes and even better comments. One of my blue babies was found to have a broken tail which is very sad but she will still go to convention regardless. I am very pleased with comments on the blacks and they got nothing but promising remarks. On friday night they didnt do so well. I got BOSB in the second show with the black buck tattood "GC" which i find coincidental lol. Then in the last show I took BOB and BOSB with a black jr buck and a black jr doe. Every judge that looked as my babies said they will be perfect for convention.
The four black babies I have are out of Gunner. Everytime I looked at them they reminded me of the Beyonce and Chevy litters that Gunner and his siblings came out of. I am really hoping so because that means ill have a good shot at convention. We shall see though. Enough talk heres pictures
So gorgeous, congrats on the awards Sorry to hear that one of your blues has a broken tail, at least if you can still get comments on her she could produce some good young if you decide to keep her.
Thank you azerane! Yes that was exactly my thoughts. I don't think I am going to keep a blue but I do have a person waiting for one so she will have a home.
I got videos of my blacks running around and I am so excited!! Their tan is coming in nicely and the type is flawless. I really hope they get placed at convention. It's so funny how the last thing I wanted was to show blacks at convention and now my most competitive ones are blacks. Here are the video links for those that are interested!
How I've missed seeing these beauties...they are fab-u-lous. Sorry about your blue but glad she's got a good home to go to. Have to look at the videis but know I am going to love them
Thank you chrisdoc! Got back from ARBA convention and am pretty happy. I ended up keeping Cruze and GB (one of the black does). As you also may have seen I got a new BEW buck for PJ. All the blues got great homes and so did the blacks!

Chocolate Buck: I don't remember his exact placing but it was middle of the class.
Our foundation buck, Chevy Silverado, passed away Saturday after being with us for 5 1/2 years. He was sweet and loving and very laid back for a Tan. He earned quite a few legs on the show table in his younger years and produced good quality Tan babies, and we will miss him tremendously. Rest in Peace and binky free, Chevy! :cry4:
