Aloha Show
Well I am back from Edmonton. Awesome show put on by 2 wonderful people..Sharin and Lisa, Great job!!
Now I had entered a few, I entered maya, violet, zoey, kay, lizzy and my thrianta jillian..for comments and learn more about the breed. The friday morning before our drive, I was loading carriers and pulled out maya and violet and almost fell over crying. See they have been living with a guinea pig for a couple months now and she never does anything..until now. Both my girls were chewed all the way down to there wool undercoat. That pig took off about 3.5 inches of hair on EACH rabbit. There coats were damn gorgous and now nothing. Had to hold back tears as it took 3 months to grow those coats out to even compete competitivly. So I almost killed that pig lol. Even when I got home, she chewed my french lop babies coat too..now I put her with the other two sows..enjoy u stupid pig!
Getting back to showing, because maya and violets coats were just destroyed they took 2nd last and last place all weekend, excellent comments on both though. Lizzy beat all my girls hands down all weekend, mainly because she was only one in full coat and not molting lol. She took BOB 3 times and a cute little sable point jr buck from gayle got BOB once and BOS rest of times. Lizzy now has 7 legs hahahah. Shes now officially retired. :P
Now I was showing Jillian my thrianta for fun and learn about the breed but unfortunately she was the only one entered so just got some nice comments. I love the breed because they keep condition stupidly well, she was in full coat, not molting like all the other rabbits. On first showing, I was taking her up to table and she spazzed and fell outta my arms, fell on floor. Poor baby cut her lip right open, took 4 hours to stop bleeding. Blood everywhere :S Her teeth were fine though! So I got some excellent comments on her including she has excellent DEEP red color needed for a thrianta and great body type. Kinda hard to explain when shes the only one on table though lol. Judges didnt talk much really :S. Had to ask questions and such.
So BIS comes, ive got Lizzy and Jillian on table, thinking theres much nicer rabbits on here then my two. First the mini rex gets BIS, im like cool. Next thing I hear Jillian got RIS. I almost fell over, didnt say too much after XD. They said she is a gorgous animal too haha. On Sunday Jillian got honor mention for BIS as well. Yay! The only thing that sucks is apparently only BIS animals get legs and not RIS :(. No legs for her, darn. Also because there was no other thrianta, I had nothing to breed to her so ended up breeding her to a tort dutch..he got BOB at show too haha. They are same size as thriantas and type so was best choice. Should be some WEIRD looking babies lol. I MIGHT look for a thrianta buck but im kinda doubting it for now. Maybe next year lol.
So I sold alot of babies that we could bring, all of the english lop/french lop babies. Oh the 2 blue bucks..they actually turned out to be fuzzy :S Im sure it was dad as mom is an english lop and ive never heard of el fuzzy babies before. So they were english lop/french fuzzy babies LOL. New breed! Also sold smudge, skittles and the pick of litter opal doe we brought to a new breeder. Sold Obsid to a pet home and Smoke doe and her litter and the br lilac steel buck and lilac steel doe to crystal pushee. Brought the 2 baby guinea pigs and they sold very quick to a pet home. The french lop adult does went to sarah mccrea and nettie (el doe) and 2 french lop babies went to another new breeder. I got an opal buck french lop from crystal and the last french lop baby doe are going to another new breeder in town later today. I think thats it LOL. I swear I could have sold everything else if I had brought them to show..darn lol.
Now some are wondering why Martin and tort buck are off page..I had a look at Martin at show and didnt like what I seen basically put..pinched shoulders :S .....so I bred him to Lizzy just because and didnt take him. I had a look at the tort buck and he looks to have tight shoulders as well so selling him as pet. I was desperate for a buck so kindly asked gayle if she had anything. I ended up taking a buck she was going to keep, a little charlie?? br blue tort buck, 3 months old. Took couple hours brushing him out but now hes fine. Bucky temperment, wants head rubs haha. Ok body, needs wider shoulder and HQ but hes still young..nice coat though. Dad is a rew that got BIS youth last year and mom is a br sable point with 4 legs, yay! Thanks gayle, love ya!!
I also bred kay to iggy again..iggy ended up getting 3 legs at show for a total of 4 legs..wow..so should be some AWESOME holland babies..or even fuzzy..I dont care LOL.
So for whats left for sale, it should be on the for sale page..I have 3 mini lop baby does, the br tort holland doe (btw all those fuzzy babies I got, they all turned out to be hollands so good for pet people. :P), 3 tort holland bucks, 3 harlie bucks and 1 harlie doe, an adult pig, 3 opal mini rex bucks..they have such nice temperments too..I also am selling Simon, his dad got a few legs at show, HUGE head on him! I figured he could be getting chewed by the pigs but his coat is still going to be wool only so breeding him to a couple does and selling as pet. Lovely temperment! Also selling Cobalt as I do not wish to breed hollands and I would like more room for fuzzy lop jrs with my short cage space. She is for sale to a pet or brood home. Very nice temperment on her as well. Well all my rabbits have good temperments LOL. They are handled everyday and kids come over and play so they just love attention. :P
So ya, I will be heading up to the dawson creek show..POSSIBLY tomorrow..they are having a tiny rabbit show and entries are allowed tomorrow and im not driving all the way there to enter a few rabbits..if not then friday. Starts at 7:30 this judging friday morning..eww. Going to enter some babies and Blue! And a couple fuzzies. Just for fun. :P Bringing basically everything I have because I am not driving back that nite and its going to be/has been stupidly hot. Come check me out and my for sale animals!
This morning I moved everything out of the shed into the grass beside the shed in the shade..the shed was getting a little too hot yesterday...even with fans and doors open..suppost to be hotter today so ya id better do that instead..
That is it, Ive heard talks about a fall show in spruce grove..im hoping it happens!!
