April's Rabbitry

06/02/2024

Will be slowly making a group for my hobbies instead of having pages so that I have more control over who can see and interact.
It would be combining April's Rabbitry (rabbits of course) and Amerose Unlimited (art, chickens etc.)

The current Dutch herd, there are also three babies that I didn't grab pictures of.

Will be starting to clean up the page to go with reverting back to April's Rabbitry (which we used from 2003-2014), we aren't back into rabbits just yet, but that is the plan.

It'll be interesting to watch the progress on this.

Now that it’s official, our team is excited to announce the project we have been working on for the last few months. We have obtained a Certificate of Development (COD) for the unique and eye-catching variety that is, the Brindle Mini Rex! This will be a very exciting step forward, not just for Mini Rex, but for all breeds, as this will be the first “Brindle” COD in ARBA history.

Seeing as this has not been done before, there will be a unique set of challenges to get this variety accepted, but our dedicated team has what it takes and we could not be more excited to develop this breathtaking variety. We will be presenting all 4 varieties which include, Black/Orange, Blue/Fawn, Chocolate/Orange, and Lilac/Fawn. Note that Harlequin markings are a disqualification, as we are breeding for Brindles. Genotypically, they are the same as a Harlequin or a “Solid Tri”, if you will, but the aim is an even distribution and intermixing of the color combinations listed above.

As of June 2023, Brindles may be shown in the exhibition class at ARBA shows but cannot compete for Best of Breed/Best In Show. Below is a link to the Brindle Working Standard, which must be provided to the judge if entered as an exhibition animal.

The team would be more than happy to answer questions about the Brindle variety, and we hope to see a great deal of interest! Please feel free to reach out to Catherine Tompkins, Chase Domingue, Nicole Tompkins, Kate Smith, Berlena Reynolds, Sandra Gail Neal, Johnny Haussener, Dae Lycos

And special thanks to all the other behind the scenes people that have contributed to this happening in big and small ways 🥰🎉

After much deliberation, we've made the decision to sell out.
We've been in rabbits almost non-stop since we were in grade school and we'd like to take a little time to try out other things. I'm sure we'll be back at some time.

We'll be working on a list over the next couple days, so keep an eye on the page.

A few of our favorites will be staying as pets, feel free to message us if you're interested in something specific.
