Pictures of Betty and Rambo's Pick Daughter of the Litter Born August 4, 2010.
Tamashanter's Priscilla TRBR1.
Harlequin Magpie-Black.
I just love this doe. She has such a clean front and beautiful face split. It of course could be cleaner. She has 1 dark ear and 1 white ear although does not alternate from her face split. She also has a nice clean chest and leg split although again not alternating from face split. She has beautiful body type. She is firm and compact. She has stripes on her left side although not as clearly defined. She shows promise and is show quality. I am sure she will produce nice babies for me.
Pictures of Betty and Rambo Daughter Born August 4, 2010.
Tamashanter's Ruth TRBR3. Harlequin Magpie-Black
This is my 2nd pick doe of the litter. She has the alteration happening on her ears but not as clearly defined as it should be. She also has one foot dark and the other light although not fully alternating.She needs more definition to her face split. She has some bars but not enough but I like how her color definition is better than her mom's. She will make a nice brood doe.
Pictures of Betty and Rambo Son Born August 4, 2010.
Here are pictures of Betty and Rambo son. I wish the other 3 babies survived but I still have 3 decent magpie harlequins in this litter. 2 of the best in the litter died with one of them being one the best I have ever since. I was so depressed, but I do have siblings which are still quite nice.
These are pictures of my buck. Tamashanter's Noah TRBR0
I love his color definition. He has the start of a face split with decent banding on his right side. He does not have the color alteration on his ears, but he has qualities that I like and need to improve on. I believe he is a chocolate carrier with those grey eyes.
I will be keeping Noah and look forward to seeing what this guy produces for me.
Results from Saanichton Fair (Sept 4, 2010)
Saskia along with Kim Posey took a few of our animals down to the Saanichton fair on Saturday Sept 4th. I was just coming off a set and a night shift at that. I got home at 9am so I was way too tired to go to the rabbit show.
Doug Sprague (sp?) was the rabbit judge. Saskia wrote under Doug and had a good time. She told me he still wont take her to the United States. LOL He's a smart man. Who would want to take a crazy 15 year old to the States. She asked him at the April show and he told her she had too much energy for him. Need to get passports in order before we can go to any US shows.
As for our Show results, I did not do well, but only showed 3 animals, although, Saskia did very well with her 6 rabbits.
Tammi's Results:
Mini Rex- Black SR. Doe KT's K80T "Annie" placed 2/2 but starting a molt. She will be retired and bred in the next day or so.
Mini Lop- Solid Jr. Buck TRK0 Tamashanter's Ghost Ryder (REW) placed 5/5. He is still coming into himself plus no where near where the Posey's animals are show wise.
Mini Lop- Solid Jr. Doe TRK1 Tamashanter's Carmen Electra (Chinchilla-Black) placed 5/5. She needs work, but she is much better than her mom was.
For me, this is a breed that I am working on. I don't think I will show mini lops for awhile till I feel I am competitive enough and will continue to work on the mini lops. I also have a pair of chocolates. Chocolate buck and Chocolate carrier doe.
Saskia's Show Results are:
Mini Rex:
Blacks:
Sr. Doe Posey's Amber SB2 placed 1/2 in class and won 1/2 in fur.
Jr. Buck Tamashanter's Black Forest TRJ0 placed 1/1 He also BOSV Black.
Jr. Doe Tamashanter's Gabby TRJ1 placed 1/1. She took BOV Black and Best Opposite Sex (BOS).
Blue:
Jr. Doe Tamashanter's TRZ1 yet to be named. Placed 1/1 and BOV (only blue).
Broken:
Jr. Buck Tamashanter's For Your Entertainment TRZ0 Placed 1/1 and Best of Variety.
Chocolate:
Jr. Buck S&K's Milo KS93 Placed 1/1, BOV and Best of Breed (BOB).

Vancouver Island Exhibition (VIEX) Show Results for August 21-22, 2010
We all had a fun time at VIEX this year as always.
The judges this year were Cliff Dick and Jan Coffelt. We always have fun with these judges especially Cliff Dick.
Saskia's Show Results:
Saturday
Mini Rexes judged my Jan Coffelt on Saturday.
Mini Rex Black Sr. Doe "Amber" Placed 2/2 in both breed class and fur class.
Mini Rex Black Jr. Doe "Gabby" Placed 3/3 in Jr. Doe class. Just a baby couldn't compete.
Mini Rex Black Jr. Buck Placed 2/3. Also very young but the judge really liked him.
Mini Rexes judged my Cliff Dick on Sunday.
Mini Rex Black Sr. Doe "Amber" Placed 1/2 in both breed class and fur class. Best of Breed. She got her 3rd leg and is now a Grand Champion. She also won the fur class.
Mini Rex Black Jr. Doe "Gabby" Placed 3/3 in Jr. Doe class. Cliff liked her and said to keep her.
Mini Rex Black Jr. Buck Placed 2/2. Cliff loved this little guy but just couldn't compete against the older junior. He loved his top line.
Coleton's Rabbit:
Coleton showed a Harlequin Jr. Doe #TRB3 His Cavy Sow is pregnant and due very soon so nothing to show and he liked this Jr. Doe. He named her "Sesamie"
On Saturday Cliff Dick judged the Harlequins.
Harlequin-Magpie (Black) Jr. Doe TRB3. Placed 6/7 on Sat and placed the same under Jan Coffelt 6/7.
Tammi's Showings:
Mini Rex:
Saturday under Jan Coffelt
Black Sr. Doe #K80T Placed 1/2 and won BOV and Best of Breed. Annie earned her 2nd leg. She also won Breed fur class 1/2. Sunday she was DQ for small white spot, but Cliff loved her and told me she would have been Best of Breed.
Black Jr. Buck SB60 DQ for overweight. He is a big boy but a nice boy. Will breed him back to his mom Annie on September 8th. Did not show him on Sunday.
Mini Lops:
Saturday under Cliff Dick.
Jr. Buck PC07 (Chocolate) Placed 7/8. He will be used in my chocolate program. I know he can't quite compete against the other Awesome Mini lops here on the Island but its a project and he will be good addition to my project.
Jr. Doe CX placed near 5th I believe. I can't find her show comment card. She placed 5th on Sunday under Jan Coffelt.
Harlequins:
Under Cliff Dick
Magpie Sr. Buck OSV2 "Malachi" Placed 2/2 both days.
Magpie Jr Buck TRB0 Placed near bottom. Saskia has lost my comment cards. He was either 5 or 7/7.
Magpie Jr. Buck TRB2 Placed 1/7 for his 1st leg win. He also won Best Opposite Sex (BOS). Cliff loved this little guy and said he is a definite keeper. He even loved the other guy and said to keep in breeding program, but I just don't have the cage space for 2 bucks out of same litter. TRB0 is 4-Sale. TRB2 won 1/7 Jr. Buck class again under Jan Coffelt but he did not win BOS this time. Barb's Sr. Buck beat him. However, he did win a 2nd leg. Now he just needs 1 more leg to be a Grand Champion.
Magpie Jr. Doe #0v6 Place 3/3 both days.
Magpie Jr. Doe #TRb1 Placed 5/5 both days.
I am pleased with how we all did. There is always room for improvement but our first big show since getting back into the rabbits and with some of our own babies.

Look for new updates to come soon.
We relocated this year to the Cowichan Valley and our Rabbitry is back up running again.
Saskia is raising Mini Rexes, Coleton has a pair of Silkie Cavies and I am raising Harlequins (Magpies), Mini Lops and a trio of Mini Rexes.
We will be attending our favorite rabbit show of the year- VIEX in Nanaimo, BC Looking forward to this show. Only have a few rabbits to show as we just started back in rabbits again in February. Took 1 1/2 years off raising rabbits to finish my last year of Nursing. I graduated in June 2009 with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
Best of Luck to everyone at VIEX.
