I haven't updated in so long!

Okay. So. WA state convention.
LK, sable point senior buck took 2nd and 2nd, lost to the same bun out of 4 both times.
FA, sable point senior buck took 1st and 1st. He's still a baby in every sense of the word.
BI, sable point senior doe took 2nd and 1st.
P, sable point junior doe took 2nd and 2nd, beat out the older junior both times.
R, sable point junior doe took 2nd and BOSV. Great comments from both judges, and a couple of breeders. And at 9 weeks beat out a couple of senior does. Lets hope she ages even better than she is now. XD (Watch her get nasty... LOL!)

We've had three litters born.
Lots-A-Hop's Seduction x Tanglewood's Kenai: kindled 6. 1 hippo. 2 siamese sables and 3 sable points left.
Lots-A-Hop's Bitty x Lots-A-Hop's Kiddo: kindled 4 on the wire. The only salvageable ones were peanuts.
Rainier's MT x Lots-A-Hop's Kiddo: kindled 4. Killed three before I got to them. Has a fat little black buck left.

We sold a few buns, and we've brought in a few.
New in the herd:
Hidden Jules nameless, 3 month old charlie broken black otter doe.
Hidden Jules nameless 2, 2 month old tort buck. NICE looking! Just needs a home to grow out a little bit.
Me So Bunny's Crystal, 3 month old seal doe. Cutie pie as far as a bigger brood doe goes.
McCready's Dazed Man, a year old siamese sable senior buck. Nice head and ears. Can't wait to see if he throws 'em.

Brought in 12 new Woody's premium cages. They're GREAT. Waiting on 4 more to come up in a couple weekends. 4 24 by 24s, 4 18 by 24s, and 4 18 by 18s. Wewt.
Plus all new water bottles and crocks!

Congrats on the show results. You must be very pleased.
I bet you are glad to get the cages at last too.
Love to see pictures of the new buns

My first thought (cause I'm cage-shopping) is CONGRATS on the cages...then I realized - its the WINS I should be congratulating you on...and the new births.

Still yet - I think I'm almost more excited about the fact you were able to get new cages.

Congrats on the bunnies and cages. I am hoping to go cage shopping, and have some good competition in the standard chins in two weeks.

Wewt. Took some pics.

Dad lost the camera at convention, so the pics fail... Plus I only had about 5 minutes of in between time. My dad's building me a shed for the buns. XD But it's loud.

So this is my new lots-a-hop's doe. Muff.
She's icky from pulling fur, and very out of condition. But I like her. She'll make a nice brood doe, and should pair with my bucks rather nicely.

Baaaad photo. She's a cutie pie IRL. A little long overall, but I like her. I need a better photo. Like now.

A little tort buck. Got him for $15. o.o;;; He's rather cute, and I figure he just needs a place to grow a little. Nice and short.

And his round ears.

A seal doe. She'll be another nice brood girl.

And a siamese sable buck. Picture from Quite Shy Rabbitry.

Wow I love them all. Couldn't even say who I like best

 

[Jaded]

Wow that last photo, he is so cute!

 

[Shaded Night Rabbitry]

I like the tort buck the best. The siamese sable buck is okay, but he doesn't pose. I haven't even gotten him posed like that photo. =/ So I guess he won't have a show career. Sad, since he's rather nice.

The does are all just brood does. The broken black otter is the nicest, followed by the seal, and as far as type goes, Muff is the least nice. But I'm hoping the genetics behind her will show better if bred back to another lots-a-hop's buck with similar ancestry.

I had a Lionhead buck that I got as a Senior. He'd never been shown and hugged the table. He refused to get his head off of it. A few judges faulted him severely and said to get rid of him because he had a bad body type and very low headset and would never get better. I worked with him everyday and now he sits very upright. He even took BOSB at the last show and the judges were practically drooling over his near-perfect type and high headset. Lol!

I have been trying to work with him since Sunday. He poses himself just fine in the cage, but the second I pull him out to play, he turns into this little shy thing that hugs the ground. XD Perhaps his babies will like posing more.
