New Holland Lop

[Blaze_Amita]

They aren't the best pictures, but I will have some better ones once I get her home.

She's an 8 week old baby. "She is out of a buck from Linda Jennings who just won best in show at national convention" Is some of the information I have gathered on her. I think she'll be prefect for my boys. I've finally decided where I am heading with my rabbits. Holland Lops, with small scale English Spots and small scale Velveteen Lops.

Her name is Buckettown's Felicity


What do ya'll think? She's out of Buckettown Rabbitry, in Richmond KY.

She's adorable, I love her markings! I have a holland lop too, I love their little round faces.

Nice massive bone a fairly large head. I can't tell her proportions from that picture, but she will more than likely place once she gets old enough Good Luck

Very cute little bunny--always have a soft spot for Holland's.

 

[Blaze_Amita]

Well I can only hope she does well, I mean you never really know right? I found this quite Ironic with the lose of Blaze several hours after I set up the meeting time to pick up Felicity.

Very cute!!

THose are some quick snaps of her. she's soo fluffy and soft! Out of her litter of 5, she was the only girl. I'm thankful I got her. Lucy(the breeder) took a quick look at my boy's peds to see which boy she thought would make a better mate with and She liked Gabriel's pedigree, had soem very nice animals behind him, she hadn't heard much about the ones behind SPeedle. I'd have brought both boys with me, but they decided they didn't feel like going, and sat in their cages and pouted about having to put on their harness'.

She looks like a good addition to your breed. Love those helicopter ears. :biggrin2:

 

[Blaze_Amita]

There are some updated pictures of Felicity, she's turning into a complete sweetie, just like Blaze. I think she can sense the hole that she's going to fill.

 

[Blaze_Amita]

Sorry this is so picture heavy, She still has soem super ear control, so I took a few extra pictures of her ears/head

Rip her down, let me know what you think, she's a day shy of 11 weeks

Fingers in the middle, can't feel the starts of the ear in the middle of her head,

No, I'm not chocking her, jsut holding her jaw bone to keep her still. Still working on he rsitting by herself

Face Value!

Fingers at the starting of her ears.

Back shot. She's still incredibly fluffy.

What should I do about her ears? keep messaging them so they lay flat? any ideas?

 

[SNM]

AWW so cute. I almost got a little Holland for my sister yesterday that looks similar to yours, but she already has her partner in crime Frosty(talk about a spoiled rabbit). Wish you best of luck

 

[Nancy McClelland]

She's a gorgeous little bunny--love the markings.

 

[Momto3boys]

OMG I am in love!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow she's cute :heartbeat:

 

[SMALL S RABBITRY]

I use to put like quarters on there ears to help the ears lop. I would use the medical tape and tape them to there ears and it also helped there crowns also. and she is really cute.........Toby

 

[Blaze_Amita]

Well I'm taping washer's into her ear(I figured it's better than Quarters) and let's see how it goes. How long should I leave them in for?



I'm also getting a broken tort buck, and 2 does from this breeder. one of hte does is Felicity's mom(solid tort), the other doe(also a solid tort)is one she hasn't been able to get bred and she's approaching the one year mark. I will have photo's tonight. I'm surprised she's selling Felicity's mom, she already sold her father so I guess she kept a baby out of the two.

I don't raise Hollands, but if you have to physically alter the ears just to get them to lop, then that's probably not a desirable trait you want to breed into your herd.

She's a cutie, and I don't know much about about Holland type, but that super tight crown has me very concerned. Massaging them may eventually get them to lop, but you have to remember that the genetics of her ear control are still going to be passed down to her kits. It is absolutely your choice, but I personally wouldn't want to breed that into my line.

She's adorable either way, though.

 

[Blaze_Amita]

I'm not completely sure why they sometimes stay sticking up, sometimes it is the ear, sometimes, it's not. I know Blaze's ears didn't lop until he was almost 5 months old, and he had long thick ears, she's starting to lop them herself now, I just would like to bring them down a little sooner, so I'm going to encourage them.



Felicity's mom: Jordan's Huella(I'm calling her Helen- Don't like the name Huella-too close to cruella)

She's a brood doe, she's at 4.0 pounds now and she's not exactly a show type bunny, she's meeting Speedle today.



LL's Cher

This is oen nice little doe, I like her. Lucy couldn't get her to breed, so she gave this doe to me.10 months old. Ilike her head and body, ears are longer than I like but they aren't overly long. She's meeting Gabriel right now.

Buckettown's Peter

He has one Junior leg and he just turned senior not too long ago. I want to cross him to Skye in a couple months or I might sell him on. he's go ta huge head, massive bone to him. Very nice buck overall, I just don't really need another buck. We'll see how he shows.



I know the pictures are horrible and all three are out of coat condition but I'll ge tnew and better pictures tomorrow once I can get them groomed up and let them settle down today. These were quick snapshots
