Tomorrow Easter Event

Well im getting ready as much as I can..lol. Have to work in the morning because they are short staffed but will be at the park around 12pm. Should be a blast!! Hopefully its nice out too!!
Naomi is being a REAL brat lately. I honestly Ive never seen a fuzzy be so bad lol. She does laps all day in her cage and typical trying to bite and growl. Hopefully its just from her being preggers! Anyways thats about it, in case anyone is wondering, yes ill be breeding like 4 does after Chestermere (I want to show them first!). Lets see..CobaltxBlue, Maya & VioletxNathan and Zoey and/or NaomixNathan. Yes Nathan will have his hands full of girls! Unless I get another buck, it will stand like that. Im hoping for a HUGE range of colors. :P Oh and Kyoto will be bred to Janines holland buck Iggy soon too. Up to her when she gets a day off! lol.
Thats about it! Ill get pics from tomorrow and update my site when I can. Cyah and Have a Happy Easter!

Events

Finally id like to point out events in GP this year. I am for sure attending the Easter Extravaganza at Muskiseepi Park in GP on March 22 from 1-4 but im sure ill be there at 12. I will be bringing all my rabbits as well as information on rabbits in general and fuzzy lops. Im up to 4 boards this time..lol. Educating the public on rabbits. I will also have 2 playpens out for them to run around. Too bad no babies this time :( But Maya and Violet are small enough they can pose like babies..lol. This event was HUGE last year with the lineups going out the door and around the corner. :P

I am looking for a couple volunteers to help out with my rabbits as its alot of work and I cannot talk to every single person on them. Id prefer if that person has experience with a rabbit but if not I can teach. Awesome experience! Looking for adults or kids! Please email me!

For other events, id like to attend some fairs in the summer, and maybe Canada Day or GP 50th celebrations?? We shall see. :P People LOVE the buns! Well thats it for now, I will post later when I can think of something to post! Gimmi a shout!

New Stuff!

Continuing on, I FINALLY did a new layout after months of nothingness..lol. I think it suits the mood of spring, which it has been fairly warm concidering its only march! I got new pics of the fuzzies as well as 2 beautiful fuzzies coming from Sylvia of Fuzzy Peach in April who are at Sarahs currently until she gets back from her trip..lucky pain! They will be flying out with Janines and Laura-anns french lops in April. As I only have one buck, I HOPEFULLY will be getting another buck at Chesteremere..Holly??? Email me and let me know!!!!!

Breeding wise..ugg..no luck at all! Naomi was preggers but after being 3 days late, she absorbed them..i swear I felt 3 in there..ugg. Anyways rebred her to Blue again but unfortunately he didnt do a good job so HOPEFULLY she did take..will find out soon. I tried to put Mocha in there first but he has NO interest in breeding anymore..sucks but what can u do. He would rather sit there and get head rubs then play with girls..lol. Thats what new bucks are for! Anyways the PLAN is to breed Maya and Violet (there in the same cage together..lol) as well as Cobalt (another story) after Chesteremere and Zoey, Kyoto and Lizzy around June/July for some Edmonton Show and fair babies! The later goal is to keep a buck outta Naomi..purebred..for a new herd buck! The rest I will have to see. I know that all these lines will cross very well and 3 rabbits are related anyways to the same sire..half or whatnot. Oh and I will be breeding Naomi and Kyoto (to a holland) in the fall. Kyotos genetics on her holland side are amazing so I HAVE to breed her to my Blue..haha. Thats the plan!

Ok..about Cobalt..LOL. Janine was selling most of her hollands a month ago and I had asked last summer if she sells Cobalt, I would want her for a perminant pet/breeding home. I LOVED the doe the second I saw her at VIEX a couple years ago. Not only for type but COLOR..lol. I will try to get some babies out of her..apparently she isnt producing very well but we will see! She is indoors now! Kinda trading for each rabbit, I will be giving Janine babies from her once I get some. I'd LOVE to grand the little bugger as well if I can get her back into condition! Thanks for the fuzzy coat feed mix..haha. Shes such a sweetie! I will get nice pics of her later once her hair grows back around her face as shes bald perty much..lol. But does she ever love to pose! Love her just like Rockette...there the same perty much!

For show news..Chesteremere is a month away and I will be showing a few animals. I WISH i had babies but my does want to be difficult! Anyways I will be bringing just about everyone because I would like to register almost all of them including Cobalt. Showing Maya, Violet (filler), Nathan if hes in coat..Cobalt if in coat..and Kyoto if there isnt enough fuzzies to show. Laura-ann is bringing Zoey's granddaughter Lacy..now Sugar..lol to show under BSD and Gayle is bringing a couple and more if needed. Janine will be showing Violet and/or Kyoto as fillers if there isnt enough for showing. Cant wait!!!

Final thing in this post, buying new cages..(and carriers and dishes later) sooonn so cant wait!

Well..umm..late??

Ooooppppss and very very very sorry for not blogging lately!!! Ill post most of it as much as I can!
Wetaskiwin Show- Well that show was quite a blast, I went with Janine Hudson and her 2 munchkins with a car FULL of rabbits and pigs, and my dog...lol. We stayed with Helga in her motel room for both nites..umm..well for showing..(in detail..lol)

Before I go on, id like to explain a few things. As u have seen in my site and while showing, Janine Hudsons name is everywhere..lol. Janine and I are doing a co on these fuzzies as I cannot keep many at my house..its a townhouse DUH..she gets the boys and can breed whoever..with my permission..lol..and split it all up. Yes she is QUITE a drive away but its the best I can do! So for showing, I thought it was a good idea for Janine to enter the top two fuzzies..maya and kyoto.. under her kids name to enter in the youth show. That backfired and they were the only two that won..haha. So thats the reason behind the youth show and different names as winnings!
Anyways about showing..


Table A- Jeff's table!

Showed a few fuzzies, Kyoto took BOB and surpringly Violet beat her sister Maya. Roxy did ok in placings, totally blowing her coat on the way to the show..little brat. Funny thing..Jeff took her out and immediately said DQ for color..thinking I guess she was a torted tri..Helga just yells out "shes a broken tort!" Im sitting there not having a clue about mini rex and judging..lol. Jeff said she has an amazing body but just lacking in that head..duh..and blew her coat so condition of course!

Table B- Scott's Table!

I actually clerked scotts table for a period of the show which was quite fun! Anyways with fuzzies Maya kicked some butt getting BOB, beating her sister and Kyoto. The comments I got were AMAZING animal, gonna be one hell of a showstomper and will get her GC easily. Im like wow..honestly I thought..and still do..think that Violet is nicer then Maya cause she is wider in shoulders and HQ. But there both still young..lol. At BIS judging, im just sitting there watching cause I know Maya isnt going to get anything cause shes a jr and her shoulders are a mess. Someone could have knocked me over with a stick when I heard RIS went to her..lol. Scott told me after she would have gotten BIS if I had plucked her baby coat out!! Maybe next time..lol.

Table C- Jan's Table!

Well unfortunately I knew full well what was going to happen. I have judged under Jan ALOT of times and for some reason he does NOT like my animals. Needless to say and not that its a bad thing! Gayle..or Tracy..got BOB with a br black buck (ur bucks are the same I swear!) coughbfcough and Gayle got BOB with an amazing black doe. I LOVE her body! Great Open show!

Youth- Jeff's Table..again!

Unfortauntely I missed like all this show except BIS due to clerking the table beside me for specialties. I heard good comments on Maya thou but got to watch BIS. Which was very funny..im like whatever Kyoto has BOB yay..good enough for me..lol. But im standing behind with the judge so can see who he was watching..I noticed he was eyeing Kyoto..haha. Then yep..RIS goes to the fuzzy lop! WOOT! Great for her..,haha. and BOSB went to the REW fuzzy buck! Go fuzzies!!

Show was amazing, Janine bringing home a pair of pigeons..eww..but less a couple pigs and I swear 20 ribbons CRAMMED in the back..haha. Fun drive home and cant wait for Chesteremere! Laura-ann is going too! But thats another blog!
