Today we showed at the NKYRBA's Winter Wonderland Show in Falmouth, KY! I love this show, and this is the third year we went. Usually I am the only creme breeder there, but this year I was so happy to have another youth exhibitor and open breeder there! Unfortunately there weren't enough cremes for legs, but the fun of it all was worth it.

Highlights:

🌩 PC's Stormi- I love this little doe. She won BOB in 3/4 shows and got Reserve in Show (the d'Argent specialty show)! I'm very proud of her and have high hopes for her future.

✨️ PC's Celeste- She did pretty good. Got 1 BOB, and was pretty consistent in her comments from the judges.

🔥 PC's Ember- This buck.. I love his head and personality, but his body needs some more time. He got 1 BOSB.

And our new arrival... Tw***ie! He is such a stud, and only 9 weeks old. I love him, but I'm thinking of changing his name 😂 He got BOSB in 3/4 shows, and needs some more time, but also very promising!

So overall, very optimistic and happy showing day. Met new friends, sold a rabbit, got a RIS, and got to steal my buddies' Netherland Dwarf. I swear, he WANTED to be shoved into my hoodie and smuggled home. Anyway, thanks for reading, bye!

I will be offering two Creme does (1 Senior, 1 intermediate) at the Winter Wonderland Show on the 14th! Entries are due today!

Both are fully pedigreed and I am hoping to sell to someone local. Prices are in the description.

Sorry about the wonky pictures, they weren't 100% cooperating and I took the pictures in less than 12 hours from each other lol

Sometimes raising rabbits isn't about breeding, showing, or even talking about them. Sometimes it's all about cookies.

These are free handed cookies, messily topped like pink glitter, of course. Happy Tuesday!

Sup, homeys?

I'm kidding, but I'm here to bring an update! We got past Thanksgiving, (Happy late Thanksgiving to my American friends) and now onto the fun part.. Christmas! I don't know if you can tell.. but I LOVE Christmas. But not for the reasons you may think! I just love the Christmas Spirit, and how everyone is just generally in a better mood. It's perfect, happy people, and winter! Winter's my favorite season. ❄️🩵

I bred two rabbits, Dottie and Jane. Dottie x Hugo is a pairing to be reckoned with! I don't think he compliments her perfectly, but my new stud Ember is a little too young to take his place fully. Plus, what's the harm in extra babies until then?

In other news, the plan is that I will be going to the Winter Wonderland Show on the 14th of this month. I love this show and it will be the 3rd year in a row that we attend! The special thing about this year is.. (drumroll)... it's going to be a d'Argent specialty!!! That means all three of the currently recognized d'Argent breeds (Champagne d'Argent, Creme d’Argents, and d'Argent Brun) will be sanctioned and hopefully shown in a large amount. So calling on any Creme or other d'Argent breeders to come chill with me!

Anyway that's it, bye 👋 🙂

Sorry yall, I've been a little sick and got behind on a lot! I've been kind of taking it slow since weeding out a lot of my stock with pigeon breast, and I feel like my rabbitry is on the road to recovery! It was really hard making those cuts, but I hope I can start to see the benefits soon. Here are a few pics of my fur-ssistant and my creme growouts. Have a great Halloween and rest of your week everybody!

The reign of Peaches is over.

She passed yesterday.

Peaches was a very special rabbit, born exactly 2 months before my 15th birthday. She was a wonderful mother, show rabbit, and friend. One of my most favorite memories of her was with her first litter. I had been trying for Creme babies for almost 2 years, and she ended up having my first litter in a (large and homemade) carrying cage in our garage during a blizzard.

As I'm sure a lot of you know, we lost many litters in 2023. The first was Peaches'. She wasn't the same since, and after trying and failing 4 or 5 more times, I gave up and she was retired. I noticed how she was deteriorating both physically and mentally, so I made the hard decision to have her put down. This was not something I did lightly, and I thought about it for a long time.

She is survived by her children, grandchildren, and this rabbitry. I'm not kidding when I say this rabbitry (and design business) are 100% built around her. She was my baby, and it hurts that she isn't here anymore, but I needed to do right by her.

Peaches will be missed. 💔

I'm a little late to this, but say hi to Murphy!

Murphy is Peaches & Creme's new official mascot, bodyguard, model, and handsomest boy ever. He is a 5 month old rescued newfypoo (yes, they are really called that, he's a newfoundland poodle mix, although I prefer calling him a noodle) and he's stolen my heart. He will be in training to be my service dog, so you'll be seeing a lot of him as he grows and continues in his training.

In other news, I pulled out some babies, and look at these cuties! I haven't been able to work with them much so they were fighting my manhandling, but I'm proud of how far I've come! Hopefully these guys will see the show table soon.. 👀

"When you get knocked down, you get up again, never gonna beat me down" Is a verse from Tubthumping by Chumbawamba, and seems to be my motto lately.

Between finding several of my rabbits that had pigeon breast and the failure of litters/breedings after my initial three litters, it has been hard to get up again.

My rabbits are my solace, my safe place, and sometimes it gets hard. I haven't made any posts here really talking about pigeon breast, but I have in my Tristate Creme d'Argent Rabbit Breeders group. Unfortunately in finding this trait, I have to really cull hard and I will be left with just two of my original stock by the end. It will be difficult, but I'm determined to come back from this gracefully and without completely damaging all my hard work.

But I've just been remembering, "never gonna beat me down" and that will always keep me going, even through the bad! It helps that I know there is a rainbow on the other side, I just need to run through the rain.

It's been awhile since I posted about the cremes! Between our county fair and the 4-H events all June, I've been swamped. And of course the 4th of July, which is the day I pulled out beautiful Dottie. She's looking pretty nice, despite the 50 photos it took for her to sort of cooperate 😂 Happy late 4th of July, happy Friday, and have a great week.

Goat pictures? Why I'm glad you asked!

I know you didn't ask for them, but here they are anyway 😉

Plus a photo bomb from my eyeballs

There's just something about sitting under a tree with your goat, taking a selfies while your friend struggles with shearing her sheep. Yeah, I was supposed to be practicing with him instead 😂 How can you not with a cutie face like that??

Loin is one of the most meat-yielding parts of a rabbit. When we look at loin for meat rabbits, we want it to be wide, full, all the way down to the table, and not narrowing out over the hip. This is something I am currently working on. By breeding carefully, I got loin width on my own, but sometimes you need help. So I got DeeAnn Wilder's DW4F (otherwise known as Magnus). He has amazingly hard muscling and great loin quality (shown).

Magnus is a nice growing boy, 2 ounces away from 7 lbs at 17 weeks. I used the green lines to draw his loin (my hand doesn't do him justice, it's just to show how wide he is). He's got a spunky sweet personality, and I think he will help out the barn a lot!

The orange doe (Cannoli from Bunny Kisses Rabbitry Farmland, IN) is very tall in her loin, (or has a lot of depth in her hindquarter) which is one of my favorite things about her. That was a picture from when she has about 5 months old, and she looks the same even today.

The last picture is of Coconut Creme. That was when she was 6-7 months old, and the green is what I want her to be, the red is where her loin narrows out. She doesn't have my favorite loin, and shows what I was trying to work on, but her compact structure, good weight and great fur made up for it.

I hope y'all enjoyed this post, it was something a little different. Have a great memorial day and rest of your Sunday!

A little bit of a farm update:
Peter is growing fast. The first show we took him to and weight him, he was 50 lbs! He's a savanna boer cross and is about 4½ to 5 months old. He's going to be giant! He got his first bath, blow-dry and haircut, and his first show.

Don't tell anyone 🤫 But I registered and granded two does! The first is Teal Stone Homestead 's 340 (Dottie). Dottie has shown great promise and won me my BOB in Youth Nationals this year. I have a very good feeling about her development and future in my barn.

The second is my very first Homegrown Grand Champion, the one I expected the least, Nilla Wafer. She is from my "demon doe" who was a nightmare on legs. She actually tried killing her babies (Nilla and her siblings) so I had to fit a total of 13 babies in with Peaches. It was stressful, but we made it work! I took Nilla to a couple shows, and the general consensus was.. confusing. Some judges said she was promising and placed her first, some judges said she was too plain and placed her last, and some said she was average and placed her in the middle. I showed her at my county fair for numbers, and the judge there said she was promising, and a convention baby. Convention came, and I disagreed entirely. So I didn't show her. But I kept showing her for numbers, and finally, she looked pretty nice after her first litter, so I took her to Nationals. Only to find out she had a broken tooth, so she got DQ'd. (First time that has ever happened to me!) When I went home and checked her pedigree a few weeks later, I noticed Nilla actually had three legs! And better yet, her broken tooth fixed itself. So, a very long story, but worth it? 😂

And also, the grow-outs are looking.. a little rough. At least for what I'm used to them looking like. For those wondering, here is a great example from Lazarus of Creme babies going through ugly stages! Also, he has a weird skunk strip down his back and I have no idea why 🤣

Okay, thanks for reading, bye!

You guessed it.. more Coconut baby pictures! These two are one of the biggest highlights of my day, and never fail to put a smile on my face. I have a super busy schedule packed until Convention, but I am more excited than ever about it!

Peter also had his first ever goat show. He placed 4th in his market class, and I was surprised the first show of the season went that smoothly! 🐐

Also, yes, he really does that lip thing. It's so funny! It's starting to become his trademark thing, that and pretending he's a kangaroo 🦘

05/06/2024

We started an Instagram page! Just getting it up and going, but I'm hoping to post some more behind the scenes baby pictures and posing pictures. Find us at peaches_creme_rabbitry!

Today was a little busy. We went and visited the OSRBA's Mini Convention in Columbus, then came home and bred rabbits. We got a couple fall offs, but we will probably go back to breed some more. I got some cute baby pictures as well! Looking at them again, they both look like girls, and HUGE! They have big personalities already, and I'm loving it. I also pulled out Celeste, who's having an "ugly stage" but she'll get over it. She's looking promising. No pics of Lazzy, he's too busy molting out his baby coat! 😂

04/30/2024

Update on the Coconut Creme babies! They are so big, I keep thinking they are dead and have bloat when I check on them 😂 They are very healthy and big. I sexed them, and it looks like 1 boy 1 girl!

Since there is only two, I was trying to find twin names. I have always loved Greek mythology, and of course one of the most famous twin pairings is Apollo and Artemis. If they were boys, I would have picked Castor and Pollux, but I'm glad I have one of each. Not dead set on the current names of course, but I will be thinking long and hard about what to actually call them. I'm also leaning towards non-Greek mythology names, but I'm impartial on them.

For now, they are 5 day old chonk monsters. This was a pic from yesterday 🤯 They are bigger than my hand! It was actually hard to hold them and take a picture at the same time! 🤣
