Another Rabbit Show

[Jim Sullivan]

Well, I was Up at 3:00 am this morning, drove 2 1/2 hours with my wife and daughter to get here to the Pa rabbit breeders convention. I know this is posted under hobbies and other interests, but it's neither to me. My daughter shows the rabbits, I'm just the chauffeur. Well, I guess getting up this early is good practice for Mike and myself early morning trek to Carlisle in a couple months. Gotta look at the bright side.

You're a good Dad, Jim. I forgot what breed you told me she showed? The best part of going to a rabbit show with Mary was people watching. You would think some of those adult men were showing a prize bull the way they carried on.

 

[Jim Sullivan]

You right about the "prize Bill" look, Dave. You would think some of the rabbits were Z11s the way some breeders act. Lol. Deb raises Holland Lops, Giant Chinchillas and Thriantas. She's tried a few other breeds over the years like English Spots, English Lops, Rex, American Chinchillas, Mini Lops and Netherland Dwarfs. Wow, I can't believe I remembered all those names. Great fun for her and my wife.

 

[Jim Sullivan]

Well, Deb got Best of Breed with her Thrianta senor buck. Over 40 rabbits in the class.

 

[Jim Sullivan]

Now my daughter has the "I've got a Z11" look on her face.

Nice rabbit.
They're really good fried.

 

[Jim Sullivan]

The Giant Chins are a meat rabbit, but no way would we dare cook one up. Deb wouldn't even sell one to someone she suspected might want one to eat.

Good Job!!!
At least you don't have to worry about burning your knuckle's changing plugs at the track.

Jim: Congrats to your daughter. That IS a Beautiful Looking rabbit. We have Wild rabbits, in our back yard, and I've made a few friends, with the babies. I feed them and they come right over, to me.

 

[Jim Sullivan]

Thanks from my daughter. She's got somewhere between 40 and 50 rabbits. There are a few wild ones around the yard too. You must be awfully patient to have gained the trust of a wild rabbit!

There is a book of judging guidelines / standards for each breed, kinda like a dog show. They check from tooth to tail, ears to feet. There are hundreds of rabbits of all breeds and around fourteen judges. Each judge will judge a few different breeds. All of my daughters rabbits live well. No hasenpfeffer.
