We took some pictures this weekend, but Saskia cut her toe on a rabbit carrier in the barn requiring 7 stitches. We will work at getting a bunch more photos and adding new pictures to the blog.
Saskia also sold a pet mini rex this morning. We still have 2 pet mini rexes and 1 brood bkn black doe available. Pets $25 to serious inquiries only. And 1 Brood Stock Broken Black $35 with pedigree.

New Mini Rex Coming this Fall
Yes, we are in the process of purchasing a beautiful pair of mini rex from Kathy Tellechea and Pam Renfro from KT Rabbitry.
We are very excited to add these two animals.
A Junior doe named KT's Bottom Line a black otter doe. We will have her bred to one of KT's bucks. We are very excited to add her to Saskia's and my Mini Rex herd. We will share her and the buck.

graciously let Saskia name. Pics will be added courtesy of KT Rabbitry. We will get these 2 later this fall as Kathy and Pam would like to show the buck and I still need to make arrangements for transport.I have a doe from these ladies already. KT's Anonymity K80T. aka Annie. I cannot say her name at all. LOL and I have kept a buck from Annie's first litter, although he is big he has beautiful type. His sire is KT's Jimmy.

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.

Rabbitry up and Running Again.
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.
