Sarah O
Owen's Bunnies
I exclusively raise Tans (Black, Blue, and Chocolate) but also have one Britannia Petite still used as a stud for friends (Chestnut Agouti)
My most important win so far has been Best Opposite Variety Black at the 2012 ARBA Convention out of 71 other black bucks.
My goal is to one day win Best of Breed at the national level and a short term goal is to continue to make some nice tans and provide them for others to enjoy and show :)

I'm the other half of the rabbitry above ;). I currently raise and show Polish. I started out with Himalayans and they are still special to me...maybe one day. My most important win, to me, was winning Best Opposite of Breed at our state show last year. I'd love to win a BOBat any show, but the competition is stiff in our statewhen it comes to Polish.

This is Mr. Pibb...my best and favorite buck:D

I no longer raise rabbits but did for 4 years in high school. The ONLY reason I quit was because of college. Here is what it used to be though.

Lauren Doerr
LD Rabbitry (not licensed by arba)
Mini Rex in primarily Castor. Californians.
Grand Champion at my FFA show my 2nd year there. Also (this gets me mad) my sr. year in high school I though that a mini rex would never win the show (the judge HATED non meat breeds and had been a retired judge for 12-15 years). I decided to only show my californains at that show (we could only show a total of 4 rabbits) even though I had some nice mini rex finally. Turns out that the judge decides that he does not like meat breeds that day. A mini rex that I had breed and sold ended up WINNING the whole thing. (I had sold it because it was WAY to big). Sorry for the rant. I am proud of that rabbit though. Never did go to many arba shows and when I did not enough castor mini rex showed up for me to do good. 1 last win I want to share. I took my californian buck Big Boy (BB) to a show even though he was molting. He ended up winning BOSB there. The judge said that if he had not been molting that he would have one. Not bad for a rabbit thats lines were used for meat pen shows.
My goal in HS was to win Grand Champion and reserve greand champion each year (never happened).
My website that has not been updated in a couple of years. http://www.freewebs.com/ldrabbitry/.

I will try to grab some new pics of the rabbits today. i never seem to be able to get out during the day for long with the kids and it being so cold lol.
 
I don't think there's that many of us left. That's why I lurk mostly.
no offense to the pet folks but I do get tired of seeing "what breed is this bunny" and so forth. We need more show and breeding chatter.
 
Though I'm not a breeder I did want to say that I do appreciate you guys and what you do for more then just identifying breeds. Keeping breeds intact and healthy is an admirable thing. Thanks.
 
i enjoy RT a lot more these days. I have been on RO for 5 years and I have made more relationships on RT in the past 2 months.
 
I no longer have my rabbitry, but this is what it one was:
Winding Ridge Rabbitry
Mini Rex in black, blue, chocolate, lilac
My most important win was getting 4 legs with a black doe
My website was taken down:( I'll try to get some pics up though:)
 
I've been away for a while... :wave::
Rabbitry Name: Sunny Oaks Rabbits

So sorry I've been away... (so much going on...)
But this is Ella, one of my Junior Blue Does... (well, she'll be a 6/8 next week) but she has 2 legs on her so far... she is a real love!

Be proud of what you do and Post the following:

Your Name: Wendy MacDonald
Rabbitry Name: West Wind's Rabbitry
Breeds and Varieties you raise: French Lops & Californians
Your most important win: Not actually a "win", but getting my first Grand Champion with my first home grown litter.
What your goal is (longterm or shortterm): Long term would be to continue improving my herd, mainly the "depth" of them (everything else is always nice, but most lack a lot of depth). Short term: Would LOVE to win BoB at the big Farm Show coming up in January.
