Rabbit Show

My rabbit got Best of Breed on Saturday (March 7, 09)! She got Best of Breed Netherland Dwarf in the Open show, which means I beat all the adult breeders. She should get a "leg" from winning.

And before you say I'm crazy, she does have four legs. I mean "leg" as in "leg of Grand Champion." Once we get her registered, she can get a Grand Champion certificate if she gets another "leg" as a senior. She has three "legs" right now, but she needs to win one as a senior in order to be granded.

She also got second in breed in the Youth show, losing to one of our friend's rabbits. They traded places between Open and Youth (he got second in Open). Her rabbits are really nice. In the words of Cindy, that one is "a nationally competitive rabbit."

Yep, so this show was in Yelm. My mom and I almost froze to death. It traded between snow, rain, hail, and the cold sun almost all day. Some of the hail even came through the roof of the arena. All of SanDee's rabbits got wet. And there was absolutely no parking by the time we got there (an hour early).

These rabbit shows might sound miserable, but that depends on the weather. One of the shows in June apparently has an indoor pool, so it's not all bad. No, actually, they're really fun. I've made friends in the rabbit business, particularly the Netherland Dwarf breeders. It's all just friendly competition.

Just wanted to announce that to the world.

That's all for now!

Bye!

Cassie,
That is really cool that your rabbit did well. I know that you really like your rabbits. The one that you sent into the pet store was really nice. The other one was kind of crazy though! They are really cute, keep up the great work! -STEPH
