Howdy everyone! I'm trying to put together a list for my own reference - along with a project I'm thinking about taking on...and I was hoping breeders could maybe post on here some things..

a. What do you breed?
b. How long have you been breeding?
c. Have you bred any other breeds?

This way - if someone logs in with a question about a specific breed...I can PM some of y'all and go "HELP!" because I know I don't know all the answers - or even 1/4 of them. And our dear Pam Nock is so busy with homeschooling, helping in the rabbitry forum, the infirmary forum and everyplace else she's needed....that it would be nice if I could stop PM'ing her all the time and find other breeders to maybe read threads. (Pam hasn't asked this - I just know she's really busy).

Plus - I have a special project I'm thinking of....trying to decide about where to put it. I'll share more about it as I get ready to have us do it...just need to figure out where it should go. I'd love to see us do a thread for each breed that we have breeders for of "watch the ____ babies grow up". I did this with lionheads but I think it would be fascinating to see this with lops and flemish and rex and all the other breeds we have. It would be neat if as a breeder you could share with us as you watch the litter what you look for in a showable bunny and which bunny you think is the pick of the litter - that type of thing..

Thanks so much y'all!

Peg
 
Great idea! I already have a "Watch me grow" type thingy of pictures from day one to about 12 weeks for a REW fuzzy lop, and I am in the process of doing one for Checkereds. I'd be glad to share.



A. What do you breed?

American Fuzzy Lops

Checkered Giants

B. How long have you been breeding?

Somewhere around 9 years, though I did take a break from my own rabbits during my first three years of college, I still stayed active with fellow breeders and attending shows.

C. Have you bred any other breeds?

No, not on my own. But I work closely with a friend who also has a few other breeds. I have helped her out. Tans, Dwarf Hotot and Mini Satins would be the breeds I feel I know a decent amount about. Fuzzy Lops are my specialty, though!!
 
Wow, cool Peg. Never thought of doing this before.

A. What do you breed?

Dutch - In blacks and blues exclusively.

Jersey Woolies - In Agoutis, Brokens, and Otters exclusively.


B. How long have you been breeding?

I started raising Dutch in 1991 and added the Jerseys in 1995. I have been showing them since 1991. I LOVE IT. So many nice people. I do not have a lot of rabbits. There are currently 33 in total. I breed when I have room. I sell them as pets and as breeders. I also have denied people from buying one of my animals. I am also currently studying for my registrars license.

C. Have you bred any other breeds?

I have not. I feel that to breed too many different breeds and even too many varieties in a breed takes up too much room. I can concentrate on bettering my Dutch and my Woolies.

 
a. What do you breed?

Dutch and French Lop, mostly. But on the side I also have 3 English Angoras that I kind of play around with, I don't want tot ake this too far because Angoras take up too much of my time. But its fun to just keep a pair (the one i'm bunnysitting for winter) and show some babies and make some extra cashes selling them.
I also am starting with the Enderby Island Rabbit and Belgian Hares.





b. How long have you been breeding?

I've been breeding and raising rabbits on my own since I was 6-7 years old. LEts see that would have been....1995? I didn't really start raising particular breeds until 2003? 2004? I forget pick one! But I started out with a great herd and some delightful bunnies and I'm always added new and better lines to my own.





c. Have you bred any other breeds?

I had a brief fling with Jersey Woolies. But it was lust, not love.
 
A. What do you breed?

Flemish Giants and Mini Rex.


B. How long have you been breeding?

I have been seriously breeding since January of 2004, which is when I finally was able to get ahold of a couple of Flemish. I spent a little time breeding rabbits in 4-H, which was a good 10-12 years ago-holy cow, does that make me feel old....

C Have you ever bred anything else?

When I was in 4-H, I had standard rex, and a couple of Satins.
