PaSRBA Convention

[Revverress]

@LionheadLady- Yep, I'll be showing youth, and I'll also be entering the specialty show.

For the Rhinelander fans, this is Tamale:

That black mark in his ear would be his tattoo that I marked out haha.

Those pictures are a month or two old, so he's bigger now [but still just as molty, ugh]. I co-own him with a friend, and as gorgeous as he is, he's a handful. Such a feisty brat.


Pam- No, I'm not doing Royalty. Maybe next year though.

Wow, I didn't know I had to know the varieties and classes... Looks like I've got a lot more studying to do! Thanks for letting me know!

Do you know if we're allowed to use our standards during the judging? Memorizing standards is giving me a headache...

Yes - you'll need your Standard for the judgingcontest (but not allowed for rabbit/cavy id). Judging and ID contests both include rabbits and cavies.

Remember that these 2 contests are being held Friday night.

Didn't judging and ID used to be on Saturday too? Wow- it's been awhile! As for studying- I'd stick with ID but that's my opinion. I posted a studyguide here awhile ago... I think if you go to www.geocities.com/kallycoo you should be able to find it- it might help with those last minute cram sessions.

It used to be on Saturday with all the other royalty competition, but it was too hectic (and a long day!) for the royalty kids, somany didn't get to show their rabbits/cavies.

Pam

 

[DyemondRabbitry]

I thought so- that's why I never did it at PaSRBA because ever since I started I've always shown my own. Anything that wrong was always my doing or right was the same. I just like it better that way. It's a good thing they split it up- now maybe more kids can compete!!

 

[DyemondRabbitry]

Leaving tomorrow around lunch time! We should be there by the time the showroom opens!!! Finally...

 

[LionheadLady]

Good Luck Everyone!!!!

I hope everyone has a great time!!! We'll be in the Youth room with Hollands & Elops... In the wool room with Lions & Woolies.... And in open specialty with Elops!

We'll try to look for everyone!

 

[BlueGiants]

We are leaving around lunch time too... hope to be there when the showroom opens! Really looking forward to the weekend and meeting everyone!!!

 

[DyemondRabbitry]

Lol! Well, I had to drive last year through Harrisburg... never! I hate that. But my hubby is from Florida and sometimes he scares me even worse- I think I'll just sleep... or wear a mask....

 

[LionheadLady]

Were leaving on Sat at 4am... The early bird catched the worm right? LOL

So we'll be the ones with the tooth picks holding our eyelids open LOL We have a 2 hour drive from south jersey!

 

[DyemondRabbitry]

I don't blame you for waiting. Any show under 3 hours we leave that morning. Getting to this one usually takes us closer to 5

 

[LionheadLady]

We drove to syracuse Ny to the nationals up there... We left at 1am LOL now lets talk about tired LOL so 4 am is like sleeping in LOL

 

[DyemondRabbitry]

Wow! Yup, that's pretty freaking early for a rabbit show. I only get up at 4:00 for hunting- anything else you can forget it. Was it atleast a good show?

 

[BlueGiants]

LOL! Last year, I drove from Long Island, New York to Taylorville, North Carolina (with a stop in New Jersey to pick up a friend) in 12 hours on a Friday for a Saturday -National Specialty- showed again Sunday morning and drove home Sunday night... with a stop in New Jersey to drop off my poor shell-shocked friend.

And yeah, I made it to work on Monday! (OK, didn't get much done... but I was here.) I love to drive. Hope to go to Michigan for the Flemish National this year... that should be 18 hours each way.

She got BOB in both shows A & B with her lionhead jr buck... Her Jersey wooly got a BOG both A & B, she got 1st place wool in both A & B, and her Hollands did good too placing 1st in Sr does & 2nd is Sr bucks. Not too bad for a class that large for hollands LOL

I do not mind getting up & driving.. I love to drive. My daughter has a passion for her rabbits so if she is willing to dirve with me I do not mind taking her all over for shows =)

She wants to go to some new ones this year. We plan on going to Ohio, Mass, CT and maybe 1 or 2 other states.

She has some real nice bunnies right now & loves to see how they do in different places with different breeders. This give her different compititon & some times judges that only do local shows. SO she gets new opinions.

 

[DyemondRabbitry]

AHH!! Too much driving!! (easily bored) We used to travel to Grand Rapids, MI before my uncle died. We'd go a couple times a year and it's about 8 hours from here- it wasn't too bad until you hit the michigan flats...they don't have hills!!!!!

I think my longest trip was to North Carolina with a church group. I could never imagine having to go somewhere like florida or california... I'm not a very good traveler.
