My descpiptive essay

So, in english i have to write a essay on something descriptive and i chose Panache , so here it is, its on this picture:

On a good posing surface, sits DevonGlens Panache, a black senior mini rex doe. She has good type, fur, colour and condition. The deep, bold, black colour catched your eye as you look at this rabbit and has no stray white hairs. The dense, velvet like fur is soft not only to the touch, but your eyes as well. When you run your hands through the fur it jumps back into position. She is posed proper and perfect, showing off her short coby mid-section and her hight that is just right. She has amazing width that is balanced and proportioned to the hight and depth. She is exceptionally full and smooth. You can run your hands over her and not catch a thing. She is as round as a boulder rolling down a gigantic hill. Her ears are a good length , not to long, and not to short. They have good substance and are well furred. Bold bum and bone is what she has. Her bone is thick and powerful and she has a nice butt that is very full. Overall, DevonGlens Panache is a good example of the breed.

PartyGirls litter - email if interested in any.

So - some news: Ive decided to sell some of my rabbits and only keep the best of the best to better my stock. This means, ive sold JHRs Cocoa ( DevonGlen rabitry ), Family Pride's Dewey( McIntosh Rabbitry), and DevonGlens Hysteria(Silver Birch Rabbitry ). I know they are going to great homes. Ive also purchased a black buck from Devon, and also a black Jersey Woolie doe from her too. Im super exited for these. I FINALLY got my hands on a tattoo clamp, im trading with Jackie for Hysteria.

In other news - im also going to the schomberg rabbit auction in march. Im very exited about that. Im meeting with Jackie in london and then we are meeting Crystal in Listowel, and staying at her place over night :) We are also meeting Devon there!

Above is how to pose a mini rex and evaluate the body.

Below is the same with a jersey woolie:



So - news. The kits from Party Girl are growing and are already being spoken for. Eyes just open and they are starting to venture out of the nestbox :)

Just realized - planning to attend almost 13 shows this year. Cant wait until the convention in November!

Another thing that i am very exited for is the auction. Im going to be going with Crystal, and Jackie ( my girlfriend :P ), and Devon will be there too. Im looking forward to shopping around and getting together with everyone!

Ttyl.

Rabbit Treats - Yum?

Was dared by Devon and Cody to eat rabbit treats, so here is the video:


They do NOT taste good...at all. There is a collection of rabbit treat eating video's on youtube, check em out! ;)

Panache kindles.

Not what i was expeting. She kindled two DOA ( Dead on arrival ) . I was really looking forward to this litter too! Pulled all that fur for nothing.

On the other hand im glad she is alive. She did have complications. In rabbits, the kindling process is supposed to be fast. It took her awhile. Last night I checked on her around 10:30, and again at 11 before i went to bed. Both times she was contracting and had no kits in the nest. By the way the kits were - you can also tell she had complications. So - at least she got trough it :(

THAT SAID - im not looking for another herd buck and another doe. I was going to be keeping those from this litter, but i obvoiously cant now :(

Cleaned Barn and rabbitry video

So , today being Sunday, i went out to clean the barn. Panache was being silly and going nuts with her nest building again - glad to see her instincts kicking in.

Anyways - you always get those feeling that "ugh, i have to clean the barn", but once you get out there its kinda fun. I actually like cleaning the barn, and watching everything go on its daily business in the process. So - everything went well, everything is happy :)

While i was out there i took a video of the rabbitry and such. I posted it on youtube, here is the link:


Leave a comment and let me know what you think :)

Babies!

w00t!

Party girl gave me three kits friday night, three brokens and a solid. One of the brokens is a peanut, its a broken black. By the looks of it, ive got a solid blue, a broken chocolate and than the other brokens could be a broken lilacs or opals, a little to early to tell on them.

Scott is dad :)

Also - Panache was making a nest this morning, using everything that was in her path, even her crock, silly rabbit. Hoping for kits tongiht from her. First time mom, so hopfully she uses the nestbox in this cold weather :)
