Pictures of My New Netherland Dwarfs

[Silver Star Rabbitry]

Well, here they are! What do y'all think?

RD's William - BEW Brood Buck
Has decent type, but his ears droop sometimes.

Tinsel (haven't received his pedigree yet, so am not sure about who he is out of) Very nice little BEW show buck. He just turned Sr. and is only 1.4 lbs.

RD's Spearmint - very pretty little BEW show doe

RD's Peppermint - BEW Show doe

Loupe's Dancer ( you know, one of Santa's reindeer ) - VM doe
On the larger side, but nice type.

That picture makes William's head look funny. Here's another picture showing his head

and here's one showing his ears when they are up.

It's odd, when he is in his cage they are usually up, but when I take him out and mess with him they go down. Could it be because he is an older buck, or because of the hot weather that we have just come out of?

First of all let me congratulate you on your ND's! They are such a wonderful breed!

They all have longish ears. I would have to say I like Tinsel the best so far. They do have fairly nice heads as well, but seem to have pinched HQ. I can't really tell much else except that they need to be worked with on posing.
Oh, and Peppermint probably should not be a show animal. By the way she is posed in that picture, which has to be very uncomfortable, she appears very long-bodied and would probably be better off as a brood doe. She reminds me of a BUD, how much does she weigh?

That drooping ears thing would worry me. I am not sure what it could be caused by.

Best of luck, BEW's are very pretty!

The ear thing is a control issue. It IS genetic, so watch the babies out of him for it. I'm using a doe right now that is the same way. You just gotta be really careful with it.

Cute starter stock! =3 Good to see a new BEW breeder around. They could always use more. ;D

We have a REW--think they are all cute.

Dogs broke into my rabbitry this morning, busted the cages with my pregnant does and killed Tinsel. :cry2 I'm hoping that my BEW doe doesn't miscarry from it. :tears2:
