Both my husband and myself had pet rabbits as children, and we followed our own children through 4H and ARBA shows over several years. The children have now moved on but the rabbits have remained...

Our small rabbitry is dedicated to producing rabbits as close to their breed standards as possible. Although we have had several breeds in the past, our current herd consists of Lionheads, Polish and Hollands. We once again have Silvers in our barn and I am so happy to have them back; I truly missed them.
Our Hollands and Mini Rex have been filling their nestboxes (thank you to Becky and Jeremy for the start in the Mini Rex, and a special thanks to Gabby for getting Gale a good start in Hollands!)
Thanks to our friend Lee Nevills we now have a breeding group of Silver Foxes-I am looking forward to learning more about them and watching them as they develop
.
My Lionhead COD project is going strong; I am very happy with the Chestnut, Orange and Red varieties at present-they are coming along nicely.
Sable Point and Blue Tort have been dropped from my COD as of 5/10/2010
Blue Points are coming along slowly, but I knew that would be a long shot. I may have to pull another COD for them when I am done with the current ones until I get the light coat and true blue points that I am working towards.
