    Will have Flemish available at Convention

    I will be bringing four sandy Flemish 6/8s; interested in selling two of the does. If you'll be there and could use new stock, let me know. Parents have 15 legs, grandparents 16 legs, excellent lines, all detailed pedigree. The sister I'm not selling already has 5 legs including several good...

    New white kits!!!!

    Hey, our Flemish Giant doe, Wendy, had a terrific litter on Halloween... they're on camera now at http://www.wabbitcam.com. Wendy got her grand this fall, and her boyfriend, London, has five (or six -- I forget) legs, and these kits are ENORMOUS. Seriously, they are small cows. All their eyes...

    Genetics 101, and ranting thereabout

    OK, normally I don't go off on things like this, but after the last day or so dealing with one potential buyer, I just have to say something here. First of all, we do Flemish. It's all we do. In Flemish, in some ways we have it easy compared to a lot of breeds. We have seven colors, and they're...

    We lost a really neat buck

    We have only had George for a month, since Nationals in Missouri, but he was a terrific wabbit and we liked him and had great hopes for him. Late last night after we got home from a show in Michigan, he was missing from his hutch. We found him wedged awkwardly between a block that supports the...

    Cortland again!

    We always look forward to showing Flemish at Cortland, both spring and fall. Cortland spring show (a triple show this time) is this weekend, so if you're in the area (central New York, but it's a decent drive from the NYC area and Philadelphia) and want to see some spectacular giant wabbits...

    New Flemish wabbies!!!

    Well, we didn't want to announce until we knew they were good and healthy, but after we got back from Flemish Giant nationals in Sedalia, Missouri this past weekend (where our boy, Beau, son of Grand Champions Bess and Guenther, was Best Junior Sandy Buck), we figured we'd post the new white...

    OK, I just had to post this one

    I just had to post this... these are three of the "SMB" litter, born late last November: Four (yawning at left) is the best kit of all time. Gentle, personable, he's on his way to a new home in the next few weeks. Two and Three, at right, are both at their new homes, one in Virginia and one...

    Did you go to PaSRBA show in Lebanon? Did you stay at the Quality?

    If you went to the PaSRBA show last weekend in Lebanon, PA and stayed at the Quality Inn downtown, and you had a crappy experience, here's how to let Choice Hotels know, since it became apparent that the staff at the hotel didn't give a s***. Click here...

    Lebanon show -- who's going?

    It's that time again. Nora and I pretty much look at Lebanon and Nationals last year as the start of our hard-core rabbitry efforts, and I really liked the show last year. Besides seeing a bunch of y'all and having a great Flemish dinner out at the diner, we had a great time hanging out later...

    Unleashing more Flemish kits on the world!

    Four weeks ago, Bess had seven kits, of whom five made it, and they are hilarious. We have images up on Flickr... http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2563/4216933572_b8eb2be484.jpg More of the set is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/58638411@N00/sets/72157622898763488/

    Rabbits lost in barn fire, Sykesville, MD 10/13/2009?

    Does anyone in the Maryland/Pennsylvania area know whose rabbitry burned last Tuesday? The local news only reported that "45 show-quality rabbits were lost" when a barn burned on Gaither Road in Sykesville, just west of Baltimore, but they don't say whose rabbitry it was. Does anyone in...

    Maryland Flemish!

    There are so many Flemish breeders and enthusiasts in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, even Virginia and New Jersey and Connecticut, but why is it that the breed has yet to catch on in Maryland? If you're a Flemish fan in Maryland, let us know! We're at the Carroll and Baltimore/Howard County...

    I guess we do white Flemish, now, too...

    We've had really good luck with our sandy herd this spring, including Guenther getting a leg, Bess getting her second leg, and even Barack Obunny getting a leg as BOSV. Lots of blue and red ribbons, too. For some reason we have lost our minds and acquired a pair of whites! Their lineages...

    WabbitCam!

    As promised, we've set up WabbitCam now that the kits are back: http://www.weightlessdog.com:8080/img/snapshot.cgi This is a still-image version of it, mostly due to the fact that our uplink is rather limited in bandwidth. To get a fresh image, just reload the page. The large white blob in...

    Large breed breeders: need a replacement nursing doe

    We lost our senior doe right after she'd given birth to seven strong Flemish kits. We need to line up a nursing doe that might be able to help out. We're going to hand-feed as long as necessary but if we can locate a doe in DC/VA/MD who may have lost a litter, or who is close to weaning and...

    Well, here I am

    My wife, MyRabbits, has already introduced herself, and I've replied and extended her posts, but she says I really have to have my own introductory post, so this is it. I am new to wabbits. I am a cat guy... I have probably had 40 in my life, and with my ex-wife, we had as many as 24 (neutered...
