Pictures! Matthew at show

[pamnock]

Here's Matthew, waiting for hisbreeds to be called,at a show in Canton, Ohio. . .

"Todd" won the Polish chocolate sr. buck class!

Thought I was "safe" from bringing any more rabbits home by leaving allempty carriers at home. It didn't work . . . ournew addition is a steel American. (steel is not an acceptedvariety). Beautiful baby girl with a 4 generation pedigree --purebred American. They are avery rare breed so Iam happy to have her. Will be breeding her when she is oldenough.

Matthew with his winning Dwarf Hotots! Best of Breed with ajunior doe "Dilly" and Best Opposite Sex with a junior buck "Dan".

A betterphoto of "Dilly" . . .

Here's aHolland Lop junior buck that I showed. He didn't win, but the judge gave nice comments on him . . .

Here's a nice senior buck I took. He didn't feel like posing for the judge today : (

We had a lot of fun today!

Americans are a very rare breed of ARBA accepted rabbit. Theyhave mandolin type and are showable in blue and white (our new girl isa blue/white cross) --her color is not a bigsurpriseas most whites (REWS) are agoutis and often carry thesteel gene. The Americans weigh 9-11 pounds atmaturity and have flyback fur and erect ears, defining them from thesimilar Beveren with "V" ear carriage and a rollback coat.The blue American is a very dark blue, where the Beveren is a lavenderblue. Another difference is the white American hasred eyes, where the white Beveren has bright blue eyes.

A friend brought her up to me to try to stump me I got iton the first try LOL (Flemish was too obvious -- I knew she couldn't bethat and wasn't the correct steel color).

When we got home, Steph was really close -- she recognized the mandolintype right away, but thought the doe might be a Beveren (the doe stillhas her soft baby coat).

Our new American baby is only about 6 weeks old.She'll should mature at a little over 10 lbs. based on the matureweights in her pedigree. (does mature at 10-12 lbs. -- bucks are alittle smaller)

A little trivia on the Polish -- the Polish breed (in the US) isactually not a Dwarf breed -- just a very small rabbit. Anice feature because you don't have many of the common reproductiveproblems associated with true Dwarfs.
