Look at Me!
Just had to share some updated news or journalize a bit since I have not been on here in a while. Things have been going by rather quickly and we have not had the best of luck with litters. We have 4 REW kits and the following cute as hell Broken Tort Kit:

I hope I did that right.

News News News!!!
Ok so Convention is done and gone. It was a blast and we met some really awesome people. We were also able to buy some really nice stock and get some tips from breeders. Thanks to everyone, even the Non Members ;) We love you Leslie! So anyway, we brought home the following:
Broken Siamese Sable Jr. Buck- won BOSV at Convention this year! Thanks a bunch Leslie!
Blue Tort Jr. Buck- we need the bone, courtesy of Leslie again!
Broken Black Sr. Doe- Nice ASS on this doe, bred to Hobb's Matrix!! Again huge Thanks to Leslie ;D
Broken Tort Jr. Doe- From Brian Hartzell, placed 6 out of 49 at 2004 ARBA Convention.
Tort Jr. Buck- From Heather Litchfield and Pat Vezino, bought for his BUTT!
Thank you to everyone who made our first ARBA Convention memorable.
In other news: Sydney scattered her kits on the wire, AGAIN and Samara did not settle. But Sharon, our REW doe had 8 babies today when she is due tomorrow. What suprise since our does are usually great at kindling on day 31. 3 of them were on the wire so we are left with 5 very healthy looking kits. Cagney is due tomorrow so maybe we will have some more babies by morning.
Leslie also let us breed our Tort Doe, Hope (M29) to her buck Hobb's Matrix. We hope to get some nice babies out of this litter!
Check back soon for further ramblings from the home front ;)

English Spots
I was not sure where I would post this but since these are Corey's rabbits and he is co-owner of Hay-Mou Rabbitry this seemed to be the best place. His does FM20 (Lilac) and FM12 (Black) both kindled early this morning (November 3) with nice, fat, healthy kits. FM20 had 6 (1 self, and others are light in color so markings will be determined when they have some fur) and FM12 had 5 (3 marked, 2 charlie). The black kits from FM12 look great and should be some real lookers when they grow up.
Nestboxes going in tomorrow for Sydney and Samara. Lets just hope these 2 take after the Spot does and have nice healthy litters and care for them. We can pray right?!?

Upcoming Litters
I thought I would just post briefly to sort of get this up to date on what we are expecting from litters within the next month.
Our black doe Sydney (3 Legs) was bred back to Lindsay, one of our main herd bucks, a blue tort with 2 legs on October 9th. We are nervous as always with Sydney because she just never seems satisfied with the nestbox or just doesn't like them cause she always has her litters out on the wire. I was lucky enough to be out in the rabbitry when she dropped a litter about a year ago and after they were placed in the nestbox with the tons of wool she had pulled she took care of them. The next litter was much the same however as she kindled on the wire. Best luck to us to get another live litter out of her.
Samara, our only Sable Point doe is also due to kindle on the 9th of November. This will be her first litter and we hope she does well with them. She is a slightly larger doe but has nice type and great wool so we will see.
Cagney, a tort doe we aquired this year was bred for the first time on October 19th to Bud (broken tort). Hopefully she will be as good a mom as most of our Fuzzy Lops have been.
Sharon, a large REW doe was also bred on the 19th to Dustin (a tiny REW buck). Dustin is gorgeous and hopefully paired with Sharon (who besides the size is a lovely doe) they will produce some nice babies. Sharon is also a first time mom, so cross your fingers!
A few days later on the 22nd of October we bred three more does: Nicole (Opal) to Kelly (Chestnut), Rhonda (Broken Chestnut) to Chad (Chinchilla) and Shelly (GC Tort) to Morgan (Broken Chestnut). All three of these does have had litters before and successfully raised them so we are not too worried. Anything can happen however, so we will be on guard as always.
I hope to have news very very soon on our new litters as they arrive and hopefully it is great news.

New
I have decided after seeing these on many of the sites to get my self a Web Blog. I figured I would use it to post news about the rabbits and day to day ongoings and litters etc. Who knows it could be fun!
