GBF's Sampson - 1 leg

Rachel's Pierre x Pinky's Hallie

GBF's Sampon
				is a young show quality english angora show quality tort buck. GBF's Sampson.

Tort Sr. Buck. Beautiful crimp on this young bucks coat. Wide, massive face with profuse furnishings and thick, butterfly ears. Just a gorgeous fellow. He loves to hop out of his cage into my arms when I'm feeding him. I thought Sampson was a fitting name for this wooly, strong looking fellow.

GBF's Arthur (2 legs)

ELS's SeaBear x ELS's Maria Girl (Reg. - 4 legs)

GBF's Athur.

DOB: 4 April 2008.

REW Sr. Buck. Arthur has a nicely textured coat coming in, with very good crimp.

Arthur had a long weekend (Nov 22). He earned two legs at the Mason, MI show. All the buns spent the night in the car, in carriers as the next day was the Rochester, IN show. Arthur most likely would have earned his 3rd leg in Rochester, however the stress of a 3 show weekend gave him a snotty nose and he was DQ'd because of it. Poor guy. He is consistently in Salome's shadow on the show table.

The Does

ELS's Theodore x ELS's Gracie

Blue Junior English Angora doe. Blue Junior English Angora doe.

Finally, a blue doe. I'm so excited. The plan is to use her to create Lilacs, my favorite EA color. She could carry chocolate as it is on both sides of her parentage.

GBF's Byrd

ELS's Theodore x GC ELS's MariaGirl (4 legs)

REW Junior English Angora doe.

REW Sr. Doe.

Byrd is developing very nicely. She has a very nice round HQ and nice coat coming in. She could very well be hiding chocolate as both parents carry it. Dilute is also a possibility as her sire carries it.

GC Hunneshagen's Salome (4 legs) - Registered

Hunneshagen's Lenox x Hunneshagen's Shayna

Hunneshagen's Shalome.

REW Sr. Doe. I was very happy to be able to purchase Salome at the 2008 Convention from Brenda. Salome is a very pretty girl with a nicely furnished face, beautifully textured and dense wool. She placed 6th out of 13 Sr. White Does, which was very good considering she was not quite 7 months old at convention - up against older does who had a few more months to add length to their coats. Salome carries Chocolate.

Salome GRANDED in one weekend (Nov 22 & 23). She took 2 BOB and one BOG to earn her three legs!!

Countryside Serenity - Registered

Dark Star's Frick (3 legs) x Silvertone Drama Queen (2 legs)

Countryside Serenity.

REW Sr. Doe. I was also very fortunate to purchase Serenity from Collin Burns, the 2007 BIS Youth Winner and the 2008 Youth BOB winner at this years convention. Serenity has very dense wool and its texture is awesome. She is a very sweet girl and has started to adjust better to her new home - she was struggling the first couple of weeks. I've heard from several of my breeder friends that their own rabbits and new purchases were very stressed after convention this year. Serenity could carry chocolate and/or dilute (wouldn't that be nice?!).

GC ELS’s Maria Girl - Registered - 4 Legs

ELS’s Swayzee x ELS's River Girl

ELS's Maria Girl has a 
				mound of very dense wool.

Tort Sr. Doe. Wow! Phenomenal dense wool, fully furnished face and butterfly ears. She is a nice small bodied doe. Very typey girl.

May's Adrian, a pretty Chestnut. May's Adrian, a pretty Chestnut.

Chocolate Agouti Sr. Doe. Adrian has very nice body going on under that wool. She is turning out to be a nice addition to the Angora herd. All three judges at the Columbus show admired her round hips. A very personable gal. Her coat has filled in very nicely - such a pretty girl.

GBF's Antionette

GBF's Sampson (2 legs) x Dusty's Hanna

Chocolate Pointed Jr. Doe.

Pointed White (Chocolate) Sr. Doe.

GBF's Antionette is my daughter's favorite. She didn't want to follow the 'composers' naming convention, so Antionette it is. She's an Agouti, but I plan to try and breed that out for true Pointed Whites.

Antionette has a litter of 7 that she is taking care of now, sired by Starbuck's Timberland.
