Whippoorwill West Rabbitry & Caviary

I have raised Cavies (guinea pigs) for over 35 years, and rabbits off and on for the past 25 years. Last year (2012) we became interested in showing rabbits and purchased several breeding trios. I also expanded my interest in Cavies. Prices vary greatly according to the quality of the specific animal: pet quality, brood quality (pedigreed), or show quality (pedigreed). Rabbit varieties raised are

Mini-Rex, Netherland Dwarf, and American Blues and Whites. Mini-Rex: Broken, and Tri. Also have started a brand new color I am calling speckled. NDs: Chocolate, Sable Point, Siamese Sable, Himalayan, Chocolate Otter, and Black Otter. Trying to get my Sable Marten line going, and starting Blue Eyed Whites very soon. Cavy varities raised are American, Abyssinian (and Satin American and Abyssinian), Teddy, and I began developing my own line of Cavies in 2008, crossing a Peruvian boar with an Abyssinian doe. I've always called the cross Abyruvians. From that boar and doe, I have bred many generations of pups. Abyssinian: Roan (Black and Chocolate), Black, and Lilac. Teddy: Mostly mixed Brown and Red. Just had a Black, Red & White born. Abyruvian: Most of my Abyruvians are similar to Abys, but have 4 colors in their coats: Black, Red, White, and Brown. I have a few that would be called Tortoiseshell and White since they are 3 colors. I am establishing a breeding program to get the longer haired variety of this breed going, as long-haired pups are currently born at a rate of about 1:100. Rabbit prices range from $40 - $100 depending on the quality (Pet, brood, or show), variety, and breed. Cavy prices range from $10 - $25 each. I make deals for multiple purchases as well as for 4-Hers and FFAers.
