Fun 4H meeting with some baby bevs in the mix! Jessica loved them! 🥰

01/10/2025

First all REW litter 🥳🥳🥳 When I got my first REW from a Black Otter x Black Otter breeding, it was quite a surprise. They've come to be one of my favorite varieties and I'm so excited to have some planned REWs 🤗 GC Lil NWA had 6 healthy babies and fed them very well for being a first time mom 💕 I was hoping she would take after her mom, Mather's VC, who consistently throws 6 kits with no DOAs - she did not disappoint!!🤍🤍🤍

One of my favorite shows and the first one of the year in the books!! As always, Bunny Bash in Vallejo was AWESOME! Thank you to the club for putting on another great show! We took Mini Rex and my moms havanas - the rare breed show didn't happen, so no Bevs this time around. We got a few class and group wins and BOSB under Griffin Harrah in show B with Lil Harper! Our good friend Lois Smith recieved BOB AND BOSB under Louis Porter 🥳🥳 She also recieved BOB show B! My mom's Havana Din Din recieved BOSB and BOV both shows. Griffin's Black Havana was BOB show A and his cutie broken chocolate BOB show B! 🥳
We showed a very young Jr Doe out of Ethels last litter, and she got GREAT comments! Obviously she didn't have a coat (the coat she does have is DENSE like her daddy), but I was going back and forth on selling her. I am happy to say that all babies from Dre and Ethel's litter will be hanging around as National prospects 🤗
Dre and Hip Hop went to a semi-local youth to make pretty babies once Hip Hop is done showing! 💕💕 I LOVE all the babies he's thrown me so far and I am SO excited to pass those genetics on to a youth close by 🤗

As we hop into 2025, we're feeling incredibly grateful for the amazing friendships we've built along the way and the incredible journey we've had! 🐇✨

Reflecting on 2024, here are some of the milestones we've reached:

Personal (and when I ugly Cried):
•First Best in Show
•BOB with a homegrown Beveren with over 50 on the table at West Coast Classics
•Top 15 Sr Otter Doe Mini Rex at National Convention

Mini Rex as of November:
#15 Overall Open
#10 Quality Points
#1 Exhibitor District 2
#1 Colored Fur
#1 White Fur
#3 Open Otter
#2 Open White
3 BIS (Best in Show)
6 RIS (Reserve in Show)
38 BOB (Best of Breed)
10 BOSB (Best Opposite S*x)

Beveren:
2 BIS Rare Breed
1 RIS Rare Breed
2 BOB at WCC
Multiple BOB and BOSB

We couldn’t have achieved these accomplishments without the support of our friends, fellow breeders, and all of the amazing people who have become part of our lives. Here's to more wonderful memories, more shows, and even stronger bonds in 2025. 🐇💕

Wishing you all a joyful, prosperous New Year filled with love, laughter, and more crazy rabbit people and adventures! 🎆🥳🎆

I will have the following Mini Rex 👀🏡 at the Bunny Bash show in Vallejo next weekend. As much as I want to hang on to all of these rabbits, I need space. I may also have others that are not listed at the show.

🐇 GC Lil Ethel: Black Doe - Proven, granded, 5 legs (didn't show much), great mom, a bit picky where she goes

🐇 Lil Bert: Black Otter Buck - 1 sr leg

🐇 GC Lil Dr Dre: Black Otter Buck - 4 legs, proven, great density, must go into a breeding program, lots of personality (in a great way! Love his personality)

🐇 Lil Kachow: Black Otter Jr Doe - probably carries for REW

🐇 MC Lyte: Black Otter Jr Doe - out of Dre and Ethel, keeping her 3 siblings

🐇 Lil Beep: Black Otter Jr Doe - Like her a LOT, will be showing, probably carries for REW

🐇 Lil Snowball: REW Sr Buck - 2 legs, BOB last show he went to, proven, lots of show life left, will be showing

🐇 Ullr: REW Jr Buck - Really want to keep him, nice fur coming in, good type, wish he was a touch deeper

🐇 Lil Pookie: Black Otter Sr Buck - I like his type, good texture and resistance of fur but wish he had more density

🐇Lil Hip Hop: Black Otter Jr Doe - just doesn't have what I'm looking for in my program, love her type

Some pictures from the CRCS Anderson Show!! Randy says I'm ruining my Brit by making him a pet 🙄🤭🎄🎁

12/12/2024

Scandal has her first baby out of the box! It's still too little to be out, so it got put back in with its siblings.

Annie is AMAZING and let me use 2 of her bucks at Convention, and both does took! Scandal and Rumor both had 3 healthy blacks 🤗

12/10/2024

REWs coming soon!! GC Lil NWA x Lil Snowball

12/04/2024

I have some Black Otter and REW Mini Rex that need to move on and will have them available at upcoming shows (Tres Pinos, Anderson, and Placerville). I’ve proudly put these animals on the show table, but unfortunately, I need room. My loss could be your gain! Stop by and see if there’s anything that fits your program! As always, youth get a discount. 🐇💕

Happy Thanksgiving! Youngest babies in the house right now - my moms Havanas 🤗

Fun show in King City last Saturday! I was good and took a picture of the control sheets for show A, but totally blew it for show B and C 🤦🏼‍♀️ It was Bun on the Run and Blizzars' first show and they did well! Snowball and Harper came in hot Show A which is AMAZING because it's their 2nd show. I usually never hold back any blacks, but I just couldn't let this girl go for a long time! I'm looking forward to showing her until she goes home with someone else.

Some great wins for my very first time showing at ARBA National Convention!! I've been in rabbits for 2 years, and breeding for about a year and a half - it's been a wild ride. I brought 3 animals to convention this year since it was my first one and I didn't know what to expect. There were a lot of really BEAUTIFUL animals in that building and it was intimidating.
If you're worried about showing at convention - you should just do it. I almost didn't enter anything or go because I was worried my animals weren't enough for Nationals. I am SO happy I not only sent animals, but went. There is so much to learn, so many people to meet, and so many breeds to see!
I am SO proud of the quality of animals I've been able to produce and put on the table this year. It was AMAZING seeing these high quality animals up close and getting hands on some top class winners in MR.
As always - there's room for improvement. I have a goal of next year of placing top 10 in Mini Rex and keep my Beveren in 1st of their class. The goals I had for Nationals were to place top 30 in Otter Mini Rex and top 3 in Beveren. I didn't think my animals stood a chance, so I almost didn't send them. With a lot of encourgment from judges and friends, I entered. Since Lil Lovey placed in top 15 and my Bevs the top of their class, I will be pushing myself harder to nitpick and produce better animals to put on the tables next convention. It will be hard, but it is achievable.

Congratulations to all the class, variety, group, breed, and show winners! And Congratulations to everyone who entered their animals. Everyone in that building knows the time, energy, love, and care that goes into placing an animal on that table.🏆

Black Beveren:
Lil Rumor - 1st Sr Doe
Lil Scandal - 2nd Sr Doe

Mini Rex:
GC Lil Lovey - 15/61 Black Otter Sr Doe

10/06/2024

6 black otters out of GC Lil Ethel and GC Lil Dr Dre! Super super excited about this cross and that ALL of the kits are otters!! This doe is out of my very first litter, and I always love the type her babies have. I'm hopful Dre's fur with the rockin type Ethel throws will make a few of these babies bombshells for Mini Rex Nationals 🤗

Between 4h, the rabbits, and work - it's been crazy! I thought I had posted about the show, but I guess not🫣
I went to the Stampede Show in San Jose last weekend. I highly recommend going to this show- the venue is amazing, temperature controlled, and very spacious. It was a very good turnout and there were about 50 Mini Rex entered in open. I recieved BOB with my REW sr. doe NWA 2 of the 5 shows. As much as I love showing her, it's time for her to be a mom. Hopefully she'll produce some nice REWs as competitive as she is. It's now Thursday, so I completely forgot how any of the otters did... I should really take some notes from exhibitors who have been doing this a while and take pictures of the control sheet 😅 Enjoy the pictures of a cutie Holland and my dramatic MR - they're the only ones I took 🤦🏼‍♀️

09/16/2024

I didn't take any pictures, but my rabbits preformed well at Mendocino County's 100th Fair and Apple Show! I also didn't take any notes, so this is only what I remember 😅 there were a LOT of Otters.... 28 to be exact 💀

I love this show!! Camping in the redwoods was so fun, and the company was great! I cannot wait to come back next year! It was an honor winning BRIS twice with two different Mini Rex.
