I am a holistic rabbitry that raises Mini Lops, Flemish Giants, English Angoras, Satin angoras and Rex as well as hold a few rescue rabbits.
We focus mainly on our Flemish Giants this was our first breed. Our Flemish are not bred for size they are bred for their balance and color. We have found a Judge would rather see a more balance nicely groomed animal in a good fur coat than a large flabby unbalanced animal. We strive for length and depth of body as well as to increase the bone on our blues with our blacks. We have both true blacks and blacks from steel/grey lines these blacks are bred in separate gene pools. We have gotten in our blacks BOSV, BOV BOS BOB RIS and BIS and in our Blues we have gotten BOSV, BOV BOS, BOB and RIS. We strive to produce quality not quantity having only a few litters a year when our girls are off the show table.
Our Mini Lops are our cute little bunnies. They have fantastic personalities we always recommend our Mini’s for first time owners. We are now specializing in our New Tri program and our shadeds we still offer a few ticked and agoutis as they show up. These animals are bred for their personalities as well as their body type. Our Mini Lops have gotten BOSV, BOV, BOS, BOB and BIS
Our Rex we started when a Castor Doe came to use we loved her so much we decided to do a few breedings a year. We now have Castors and a few Reds who pop up. Out new focus is going to be our Otters we just acquired a Chocolate and a Black otter as well as a black that carries chocolate we are planning to move our focus to Otters but keep a few castors around. Rex are an old heritage breed Bred for both meat and fur our animals are not bred for either. They are bred to be loving pets and show animals. Rex have a unique fur type caused by a mutation it gives them a soft velvet like feel only two breeds have this type of coat. Rex have great personalities and just want to be played with. Our Rex have received BOSV, BOV, BOS and BOB as well as RIS
My English Angoras and my Satin Angoras are used for fiber. They get sheered 2-4 times a year. These guys have puppy like personalities and not one mean bone in there body. They make great pets/Show animals and fiber animals. These rabbits require a lot of grooming but are really fun to keep around. Angoras are a medium size breed and are mostly wool and no rabbit. They have anywhere from 3-7+ inches of wool on them. I have been working with blue, chocolate, Black and Brokens we have seen smoke pearls, REW’s and Torts that also show up. We are soon to be focusing on our Chocolate and BEW program. Our English Angoras have received BOSV, BOV, BOS, BOB and RIS.
Our satin we plan to focus on coppers, choc agoutis, red fawn and possible REW's as well. Our Satin Agoras have received BOSG,BOG, BOS and BOB. We are working on getting our satin noticed on the BIS table soon as well.
