There Here!!!

Omg. Thats all I can say. It has been over a year since I have had a chance to get some new buns and these guys were worth it! Thank u so much Sarah for getting these guys home!
Ok, explaining time! Basically I was very very impressed and sorta in shock because I have never seen fuzzies so small before..lol. Nova and Ari both weigh at 2.8 and seriously are about half the size of all my other bunnies. I needed to get down in size already but now I definately have a reason now! Nova has definately zoeys body just from looking at her and her head is developing nicely. The only thing I dislike about the doe is her COAT. She has the type of coat where it is like an 8 week old baby, all wool and no guard hairs. I am planning on breeding her to Mocha when she is old enough to fix the problem. Because of her wool, she does require more grooming attention compared to all the others who dont need to be groomed at all..lol. Nova also has Zoeys funny attitude and her way of thinking is my way or the highway..lol. Ari on the other hand is a total opposite. She is a very mellow doe with the oddest coat ive ever felt. it is quite silky in touch but it is full of gaurd hairs and wool non the less. Maybe its the nice lines she has..lol. She does not need to be brushed either. Her head is a different story, suprisingly I have never seen a fuzzy or holland have such a perfect crown placement and width and if her head grows in, things may get interesting. She is very tough decision! Her body lacks big time right now, she is longer then I want and is severely undercut but does have better shoulders then Nova right now which I am lacking in my herd. Zoey is the same old, when I first saw her, I was quite happy but when I actually felt her coat, she reminded me of what I had lost (Her mom Shizam and Chester who recently passed away) but I feel stronger now because I have what was lost and I can replace those with more of her babies. Zoey has definately gotten darker in her age, possibly even smoke like in her coat. her coat is very very nice and long which is a bonus. Currently molting in her face so i cant really tell what her head is going to do. Same old gal with her moms attitude. :)
Now I havent even decided what I am going to do with them yet. I need another buck..lol. I gotta figure out a way to decide on type of breeding program and what about them. They will be shown in Feb and I think all will be registered along with Blue and possibly Rockette. We shall see. Snow is showing signs of being bred which Im happy about. I will not be keeping any of the babies unless somehow theres a pointed fuzzy..lol. They will be ready for just after xmas. Ill keep updated and new pics of the new buns will be up ASAP. Cyah

Finally!

I am so happy now..lol. Finally got that stubborn doe bred after almost two weeks of trying. It was very strange how it happened... I basically held her down and he did his job, very lucky im guessing..lol. Strangely after she was bred, I put her back and she didnt move at all for an hour, so I took her out and had her run around a bit and sat with her. I guess she was just stunned I tricked her..lol. This morning she is back to her usual self, running everywhere.
Got some results from the show yesterday, Nova shown as a broken jr and got 3/5 but was DQd because she had no tattoo. Sarah had just gotten there like 5 min before the show began and didnt have time to tattoo. Stuff happens I guess. Cant wait for the fuzzies to come this weekend, been driving me nuts waiting for them. :)
I will be taking new pics of the buns very soon. cyah till then

Now the Waiting Game

Well I finally got somewhat of what is going on and happening now. There is a delay on the fuzzies getting up here as you know but now I know when there coming up..lol. They will be here not this weekend but next weekend because Sarah is going to the Monroe show this weekend. Speaking of the monroe show, Nova (Zoeys daughter) will be shown there because she is looking so nice. I am so happy to see how she fairs against some tough NorthWest competition!
Other then that, life is as usual and school is going well..I think..lol.
I still cannot get Snow bred, everyday I try and I think I will just put her with him for a few days until something happens..lol. Thats about it! Ill blog again when I get some results from Nova or anything else that happens!

PS- Taboo (Marshs mom, black pw holland) had a litter of 2 a few days ago which I am very excited for Sherri of Creators Critters. Good job for getting that stubborn doe bred! :P

Of Course Something Goes Wrong!

Well I figured I had better write what was going on here, first off, for some very odd reason I cannot get Snowbell bred, I have tried for about 4 days now. First it was Mocha that did not want to cooperate but now its Snowbell..very frusterating!! Yesterday I thought maybe she didnt like Mocha so I put her with Blue and I still got no reaction! I will keep trying with this doe until she gets bred, I know she must be old enough because she is over 6 months old now and weighs about 3.5 (fatty). She just will not lift her tail!
There may be some delays on getting my buns too..at least for a few weeks, I am not sure whats going to happen but I will keep updating till I get more info. Hope everything gets settled out soon!
Other then that..school is going good..tough subjects but im managing. :P Buns are happy and spoiled..haha. Any rabbit breeders that want to add me to there msn..more then welcome to! horse_girl294@hotmail.com :P Well ttyl when I get some more info!

New Stuff! and Others..

Well, I need to write more blogs..lol. Obviously my site has been updated with a new layout..for fall. :) It looks nice and it works for me.
Now new stuff..as seen on my site, I am getting 3 new fuzzy lops. WOOT! All girls, one is Zoey (sable point doe out of mocha, HUGE head on her and VERY nice coat like her daddy, sold her like more then a year ago), Zoeys daughter Supernova who is out of a Fuzzy Peach buck with 5 legs and Supernovas half sister Ari out of same dad but mom is all AK and Sky High (very nice lines). I will also be getting 2 new carriers and a bunch of water bottles and stuff. Thanks sooo much Sarah for making this possible and getting my big gal back. :) They will all be arriving next weekend!
If u didnt notice, all those buns are fuzzies. So I have decided that I am going to do a very small breeding project for fuzzies. My goal is to have brush (or close to) free coats and awesome temperments. Mocha and Snowbell already have no brush coats so I hope to get more type into my lines. The other reason why is that there are too many holland breeders and so my chances of getting good placings at shows is very slim because I cannot breed as much as other breeders. Thats my goal for this/next year. :P
On a side note, I am sorta being a little critic but I have noticed one thing being out here (Alberta, SK, etc), alot of the hollands are sure lacking in head and depth in body. It is sorta odd really and I think holland breeders should look into it. They need to get some different lines with heads and such. That is just my opinion. It doesnt matter for me because I am not going to be doing hollands much anymore but my buck Blue is still available for stud if anyone wants.
Getting back to my fuzzies, I am planning on breeding Snowbell today, yes back to her dad but I think it would be best, she is lacking what he has so yah..lol.
Show wise... I am not planning on going to shows till next spring at the least when I have some nice fuzzies to show and jrs, etc. I am in the works of doing a rabbit setup somewhere in a couple of months for the public..I just havent phoned around yet to see where..I was thinking the mall but I gotta phone around. Anyone who wants me to come out and have buns for a display, plz email me. I am available and I love to see peoples reactions and educating them about bunnies. :) Thats about it for now, will update when the new buns come!
