ANDRC NATIONALS!!!

I had a great time this weekend at Nationals! It was an amazingly run show and I can’t thank all the judges and volunteers for helping out!!

Results- I wanted to thank Jake, Kayla and so many more for helping me and giving me the opportunity to have some amazing buns!

Some of my Highlights!!

3J’s Rare Beauty- 1/5 Chestnut Sr Doe
3J’s Remedy- 6/37 Otter Sr Bucks
3J’s Sunday Best- 1/7 Broken Sr Bucks along with winning BOSV Broken!

I also had some great rabbits place pretty well including a homegrown, a Black Doe from Jake Threejays, and a Siamese Smoke Pearl Buck from Kayla Campbell!

I only brought 6 rabbits so I wasn’t expecting to do much but I am so surprisingly pleased with how they all did and can’t wait to come back next year!! Thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way and supported me, I can’t thank y’all enough!

Don’t forget to vaccinate!!

This website has a bunch of vets listed that carry the vaccine around the state and the country, too. https://rabbitors.info/us-rabbit-resources/us-rhdv2-vaccination-resources/

We love Central Texas Herd Management and Vanguard - Redland for our bunny needs! Check out the link above for vets near you

RHDV2 can kill them in just a few days, and there is no cure. We have had reported and verified cases as close as Fredericksburg and near Waco this spring. Houston area had its first case, as well. It is an extremely sticky virus. Most cleaners are not efficient at removing the virus, and it is now considered endemic in Texas. Please continue to vaccinate!

Bertha’s crew is fat and happy! That pile of babies look to be two black and two black otters. ♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰

Love these three does! This mama and her two girls live together in our barn and are all homegrown. Sage is the blue tort and the mama. She was produced from Tame Mees lines in our barn. Precious is the blue otter, and Sassy is the blue. These two sisters came from Sage and a Quietcreek buck. All three of these ladies started as show does and earned legs, and with a little luck, they will be mamas one of these days soon. They are the sweetest, and we just love dilutes!! 🐰♥️🐰♥️🐰

Bertha and King babies arrived today! Excited for this first time mama!

She made a great nest…all outside the box…but it was beautiful!

The bunnies did great, too!

Oh my goodness…what a day! Cyann and her homegrown doe, Simply Loved Bunnies Snuggles, won BOB at the Houston Livestock Show for Netherland Dwarf under Judge David Moll.

We couldn’t be more proud of her, and she hasn’t stopped smiling!

Snuggles is a broken doe out of Hare House’s Cherry and Bedazzled’s KM291 aka Fifi.

She’s a sweetheart of a doe and just as pretty.

Out of the top 8, Cyann had 6 bunnies. SLB Jet (black homegrown buck), SLB Bagel (black homegrown doe), Ponder’s Tank (chestnut buck from Kellie Herrington), Tame Mees Penny (chestnut doe from Alan Tamie File), Ponder’s Wuzzy (himi buck from Kellie).

One more to mention…SLB Chunk, a homegrown out of Tame Mees lines, was 2nd out of 16 black otter bucks today!

Thank you so much to the many rabbit folks and breeders who have helped Cyann with so many things. She is so very appreciative!

Also, huge congrats to Peyton on her BOSB!

🥰🐰♥️😘

If you need your bun vaccinated, here’s a good opportunity!

01/03/2023

RHDV2 is moving across Texas and getting closer and closer to Austin. Please get your bunnies vaccinated. If you have one of our buns, they were initially vaccinated and just need boosters. Reach out, if you need veterinarians near you that offer vaccinations! It’s worth the trip!

Please get your bunnies vaccinated!
