One of Our Bloodlines
Our sandy bloodlines are Jack Langley and Bob Bomia on one side and
Allen Bush and Bill Mairs on the other.
This line is much bigger than my Mairs/Bush fawn line, but not as big as my Rocky Altic rabbits. This line also tends to shorter ears than my Altics.
The parents sandy color was a little too red, but the new baby is taking on the true gray.
But on the show table the parents do well, are noted for good type, length, color and strong ear base and they granded pretty early actually. Rose granded at 11 months. I have no idea yet how the babies will do as Rose is on her first litter. Let us just say the baby is HUGE like his parents but again, just like his parents, the ears appear on the short side still.
We have seen no evidence of sore hocks yet in this line either.

Congratulations to JD Machado who with his little doe Weed Rabbitry's "Mattie" Van der Weed, beat the pants off Mattie's sisters and brothers at the Siskiyou Rabbit Club 4H show Saturday. JD also performed well in intermediate showmanship with Mattie on Saturday and we have every expectation of a great performance with his doe in the Siskiyou County Fair.
 
Congratulations to Justin and friends on being the new owners of Stretching LImits Jack's Bear and Weed Rabbitry Slipper at the 4 H show. Good luck in showmanship shows and the fair, kids.

 Dexterity and Rose make a rest stop at Bandon State Beach before continuing the drive to the Myrtle Point Triple Open.

One of Our Bloodlines
 
3B's Dexterity is the white rabbit in the picture. Her bloodline is almost entirely from Rocky Altic's Maxine and Rocky Altic's Big Mac that  Barbi Brown and Kathy Rynard brought back from the ARBA Convention. There is also a bit of Clouse in the back pedigree as well. Dex throws beautiful babies. Probably due to the Rocky Altic parents, Dex is a significantly longer bigger rabbit than my other Flemish with a bigger head as well. So far, her babies follow her size.
Dexterity herself has been to only one ( 2?) minor show. She has a nasty habit of backing up to the urine guard to pee so she always has an unshoweable stained rear. Dex is probably my strongest Flemish Giant, going strong at 2 1/2 years. I tried to retire her like the others, but she was having none of it so she is still breeding.
She is a bit too valuable to me to go to any shows again.
 
Her next litter is with the fawn buck SLJohn Russell due July 19.
 
Another Bloodline
 
 SL John Russell is a half Bill Mairs and half Allen Bush rabbit. Mostly fawn with a bit of sandy in the ped. A bit on the small side but very well balanced and able to hold his own on the table. His own babies are neck and neck with him in competition but are significantly larger than he is. When SL John Russell granded he weighed in at 14.5 at 11 months.
He is a real sweet and handsome rabbit but lacks the size and strength of my Altic rabbit.
 
I have had no problems with sore hocks in these two lines.

Aernoud's group leader recently informed Aernoud we currently have a 5829 out of 940,000 chance of a member of the group getting mauled. Lets keep up the good work!
 
 

While we welcome all people, youth and adults to our rabbitry we believe that 4H youth are the future for the rabbit show, breeding, commercial meat and fur, and pet industries. Therefore preference is given to 4H youth in price and picks of our animals.
