So I got back from the show yesterday evening.Wow was I beat but a great show. My little dutch buck got 1st out of 9. I was sooooo psyched! He almost did it again in the specialty, but pulled 2nd. The judge said he hated to do it but he's got one uber long stop but all in all he said I've a great little buck. i'm goign to keep showing him and see how he fills out. I've decided to call him Tron. His sister did pretty well too, she got like a 3rd and a 4th or somrething I don't remember. Everyone will have to post their showresults here when they get them in the mail! I'll attach a pic of Tron in here too.

Also for those who didn't go or couldn't make it, here's a walk-throught our of the wool room: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIFjXP6n2Lg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIFjXP6n2Lg[/ame]
And a walk-through tour of the Open Show room, most of it anyways. IT was hard to move around in there. They made an announcement on Saturday morning saying we weren't allowed ot have chairs and stuff because there just was no room! I guess they got over 200 Flemish Giants in and obviously that would take up a lot of space. How much does the average Flemish weigh? Like 20 pounds? 20 X 200 = 4,000. 2 TONS worth of bunny.Is that frickcredible or what? :[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8EZAeHZYBc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8EZAeHZYBc[/ame]

And here is my exclusive Interview with Pam Nock (My Enderby IslandRabbits are inthe background):[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDpGTFAFqRg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDpGTFAFqRg[/ame]

 
I wish I could have gone - I understand that there were 96 lionheads shown and that the juniors were just outstanding....and that competition at Lionhead Nationals is going tobe very very tough.

Edited to add: Congrats on your buck!
 
Bob Whitman got out of lionheads about two years ago...I bought some of the last of his stock (talk about a stupid move). His stuff was more of the "imported" look....long in body...just....yeah! The standard has changed a lot since Bob brought lionheads in - the old lionheads were like 5-7 pounds I think...

I'd have to say that after doing lots of researching - probably thebest lionheads are on the East Coast and in the Pacific NW. There arelots of breeders in those areas who are working to improve the breed.

Of course, I've seen major differences in my babies from one and two generations ago....

Well you live inTexas. I'm sure the Lionheads down there are outrageous due to BobWhitman being in the general area.

And thanks! I'll tell Tron you think he has a hot bod.

Wow, Bob was so into Lionheads, I didnt' think he would ever sell out. Dork.
And he charged so much for his lionheads I would have though they were awesome.

There is a really good breeder near me so I hear. I dont' know too much about LH, I don't like them too much, myself. Her nameis...Judi.....uh...Amon? Maybe?

I've spoken to hera few times, she's cool. She's one of the founding peoples of the whole lionhead thing.


 
I also took this very confused picture of Pam Nock.

She claimed inthe video she was ''picking her nose'' but I can testify that she wasn't. Once I scratched my nose during a group picture when I was little and after the flash the woman taking the pic was like "Oh,weety don't pick your nose, ok?'' and everyone laughed at me.

I told her she can take a picture of me ''picking my nose'' but we kinda forgot. So out of fairness i'm going to post a picture of me gold diggin'.
 
I noticed that she never said anything about how cool your rabbits are... she just laughed. :ponder:
 
Don't worry. Pam Nock thinks my rabbits own. When I start the Jesse's rabbit fan club, I will offer her the president's position.

I think she was just too much in shock and awe to even speak shortly after I asked.

Just for the record - the Enderbys were awesome! We talked about them and played with them for a longtime. Thanks so much Jesse for bringing them over!I took a lot of photos and will get them up on this thread today or tomorrow.

PA Convention was great! I spent most of the day Saturday judging the Mini Lop specialty and Sunday doing the open Holland Lop specialty.

Matthew had a blast - he won PaSRBA 2007 Lord, won breed ID for his division, gota trophy for BOS with his Belgian Hare, won the 6/8 New Zealand buck class and got some 1sts with his Dwarf Hotots.

We're all exhausted and sick now - but had a great weekend!

Hey - forgot to say congrats on that awesome Dutch Jesse!
