We still have these youngsters available. Oliver did not show the two does but did show the young bucks and received many compliments and promising comments on both of them. The littermate sister to the black buck earned BOSV, BOSG and BOSB at her first show ( she is not for sale she).

Oliver had an amazing day at the Carroll County R&CBA today. He had a huge line up of just able juniors for show.
His Blue Suede Shoes ( Senior blue buck) won his class in both shows, won BOV and BOG in show A and won BOSV in show B. We wish Camden much luck and enjoyment with Suede!
Blue Jean ( blue doe he bred with his cousin) she won BOSV in show A and BOV in show B.
Lone Oak’s Heart’s Desire ( black Senior doe) won her class both shows, won BOV and BOG show B.
Severus ( black junior buck bred with his cousin) won BOV in show A.
Lone Oak’s Wishful Thinking ( black junior doe) won her class both shows, won BOSV, BOSG and BOSB in show A. She seems to be following in her big sister Heart’s footsteps.
Lo11( black junior buck- littermate to wish) had promising comments in both shows and placed 2nd.
Lone oak’s hail storm ( white junior buck) placed 2nd in show A and had very promising comments. He was 1st in show B.

*** Suede has found a home with a sweet young man. We wish him lots of luck and enjoyment with Suede!****

We have decided to let Suede softly 👀 for a new 🏡. Suede just turned senior age. He has been and currently is on the show string for this year. He has gotten good comments on himself and exceptional comments on his nice dark blue color.
Suede is a super love, enjoys receiving attention and will patiently wait at the door for you to open it to give kisses and pet his head. He’d make someone a wonderful pet, brood buck or even a showmanship animal.
No DQ’s, all nails have pigment in them and his ears are under 3”.
He is out of Petunia Patch’s Peach ( broken blue otter) and RGC Petunia Patch’s Sully ( blue).
If you are interested in Suede please send a pm. Updated to include a better posed image of Suede since he wasn’t cooperating yesterday and wanted to watch the tractors..

Took the image of Heart at home before loading her up for her trip.
Claire sent me a video of Heart enjoying herself at the 100th ARBA convention, all checked in and getting show ready!
Thank you again Claire for tending to her for Oliver.

10/06/2023

Can’t thank Jen, Claire and Vanessa enough for all their guidance, support and friendship! You ladies rock! Special shout out to Claire who is driving, cooping and caring for Heart at convention this week, thank you just doesn’t seem to cut it!

When I think of how I almost missed out on such great friendships.. I'm glad I didn't get discouraged with the first rabbits I bought and instead found people willing to help me. ❤️

10/06/2023

Sounds like Heart should be making her way to the judge’s table a little after 9:00 A.M on Sunday.

Some of the kits as they are growing. I haven’t posted in a while and felt like sharing these two litters’ pictures. The whites have been the biggest chonkers I’ve had born here; they had chins and rolls. The second litter pictured is otters and 1 black out of RGC Minnow Lake’s Flower and RGC Vista View PB2 ( I call him Peanut Butter).

There are 3 varieties of mini rex on this list to be dropped if there aren't enough entries at Convention. Tracy Mercer shared on the lynx page that they met this number. Who entered sable point and silver martins and how many did you enter? Youth and Open count.

If anyone is looking for a special doe or buck to add to their rabbitry take a look at these guys and gals.

Home from Washington County Fair and am pleased to say the three Mini Rex I took did very well.
Petunia Patch’s Anika- Broken Blue senior doe was 1st
Lone Oak’s Blue Suede Shoes- Blue Junior buck was 1st
Lone Oak’s Heart’s Desire- Black Senior Doe was 1st, Best of Breed, Supreme Champion Rabbit of the Rabbit show and then she won Honorable Mention Premier Animal at the fair. We competed against the other supreme champion species to earn this honor. She had tons of compliments from many rabbit enthusiasts. I even had the Premier Judge tell me it was super close for his placings and what an amazing representation for the breed she is.

08/23/2023

4 litters in the nest boxes 19 kits total led to Mom and Dad making a cage run for more grow out space.

08/20/2023

Oliver is out for Premier animal at the fair today! He has his Mini Rex Heart on the show table. They compete against the supreme champions of the other species at the fair.

08/12/2023

While Oliver is away mom and dad have been on bunny detail here. This includes baby watch (6 does were possibly due in the next two weeks). We have 2 litters in nest boxes and 1 miss so far, 3 we are patiently waiting to see if they kindle. In this litter we have a chocolate and Oliver is wicked excited about it!

Lone Oak Blue Suede Shoes born April 19th 2023. Blue Junior Buck sired by RGC Petunia Patch’s Sully. Oliver loves this little one. Hoping he develops into a nice buck like his dad. He needs more practice with posing he enjoys pushing his head up and pulling back.

A new COD

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 🥰🎉
