Bear Bunz Rabbitry

 I know it's been almost a year since I've blogged....between work and normal life routines things can be busy around here Where shall I start...last August 2008 we attended the Edmonton E.A.R.S Show we did awesome!! We came home with three new Grand Champions from that show, Iggy, Avalon and Krackle Nice thing about Specialties they give you that added oppurtunity at legs,quite nice indeed !!                                                                                                                                                                    Then in September 2008 off to Warren,Manitoba for the M.R.F Show.That was the first time I had flown!! What an awesome experience, and it was the first time I had met Tammy Michaud from M&M's in person, we had been phone buddies for some time beforehand !! Myself and Krinkle,Tinkerbell,Pebbles,Yogi, and Gem stayed at Tammy & Grant's for a couple days and it was awesome company to have I feel as though I share a kinship with Tammy that few people share, not just a love of Holland's but an appreciation of friends.                                                                                                                                                                                    In December 2008, we had a sad time just before Christmas suddenly losing Pebbles She had passed during the night, we think that she may have had complications from an earlier pregnancy which was quite hard on her, the babies were stuck and she needed assistance to birth Welcome to the breeding world, it isn't all cute and fluffy babies.With breeding there is also possiblity of losing your favorite stock, it can really suck as she was our first herd bunny to pass . This why I can be so picky where my babies go for homes, sorry but these bunnies should be a commitment not a disposible pet.                                                                                   This year has been promising so far for us, our upcoming juniors Izzabelle and Sammy went to their first show in February 2009 in Wetaskiwin.Both received excellant placings!! Sammy came home with 2 Legs, 1 Leg for BOV, 1 Leg in the Holland Specialties for BOV,BOB which also counts as a BIS!! I'm still in shock!! Bear got his first Leg!! He also received two second places,we were in shock!! It has taken longer for him to mature and now look he is doing awesome !! We also granded our little girl Gem !! Genetics are an awesome thing in this breeding world!! Her Mom & Dad are Grand Champions, as well as her Grandmother Irish Rose Guinevere with 13 Legs !! Currently we are keeping our fingers crossed for our upcoming juniors, they will be shown in May under awesome ARBA judges, how often does Alan Ormond and Alen Mesick come out for an Alberta Show?? This will be a truly exciting time for us!! Talk to you all soon, and may your nestboxes be full!!
