GC White River's Arden - Registered - 4 Legs

The Nature Trail's Jupiter (1 leg) x White River's Vesta (1 leg)

August 3, 2007 to August 11, 2009

Arden was a beautiful buck that I just adored. He escaped from his cage because I had left it unlatched the night before. My dog was helping me get him (see BLOG for whole story), and I think he scared Arden literally to death, or Arden freaked out when Toby was holding him and he snapped his neck. I cried for the longest time. It was a terribly loss for me and I miss him very much.

1st of 5 IRF 12/2008; 1st of 15 NCIRBA 11/2008; BOB Huntington 2/2009; 1st of 6 Calumet 8/2008.

Arden produced some very nice offspring for me, notably:

GC ELS's Lucy - Registered - 6 legs

GC Miller's Thor (9 legs) x GC ELS's Sandy (3 legs)

Broken Tort Sr. Doe. Lucy was a fancy, fancy girl - upright with a gorgeous rollback coat and great head mount. Perfect butterfly nose. A Tommie's Rootbeer grand-daughter.

I made the difficult decision to have her put to sleep. She never recovered from an aborted litter in November '08. She ate and drank fine but she just wasn't the same Lucy anymore. I had been treating an abcess on her front leg for months that just refused to heal.

I was only able to get two kits from Lucy - Patience and Pistol Pete - neither of which are showable.

Sleep well sweet Lucy.

GC White River's Darby - GC#K995H - 4 legs

GC White River's Storm (14 legs) x GC White River's Seneca (6 legs)

Tort Sr. Doe. Darby was the first rabbit I purchased from Roman. I loved her dearly and had such a fun time showing her and granding her. She was a very upright, smart doe and she had a nice head and classic topline. Producing babies was difficult for her though. She absorbed her last litter and then within days came down with a terrible case of Wry Neck (she was rolling). I treated her for two weeks with no positive results and so decided it was cruel to leave her in that condition. I had the vet put her down.

Sleep well Darby.

Campo's Hobie - Registered

GC Campo's Merlin (4 legs) x Campo's Beauty

Sr. Broken Black Buck. Dear Hobie. Out of the incredible Merlin. He has come here to live out his days and hopefully pass on his awesome qualities. Hobie has the head, crown, ear and topline of an outstanding rabbit! He is the oldest bunny in the barn - born 2001. Pictured at 6.5 years old - looks good doesn't he?! Bloodlines: Pure Campo.

Happy Birthday Hobie! 8 years old!

KNR's Chestnut - Registered

KNR's Jeremy X KNR's Snowbell

Fawn Sr. Brood Doe.

Chestnut & Raven were the first Holland Lops we brought home. Chestnut was just a superb mother. She was a reliable prodcuer - I could count on her for at least four healthy babies in each litter and a couple of times she had six. We kept two of her daughters, Andra & Triskit to continue our Orange program. She is now living in Illinois.

LL's Avalanche

Broo's Big Tony X LL's Star (1 leg)

Broken Tort Sr. Doe. I need to get a picture of Avalanche. She is such a good mom and nice small doe. I have a buck (GBF's Echo) from her first litter that I'm holding on to for now, sired by ELS's Elden. I really love this doe!

GBF's Quicksilver

GBF's Houdini (Siamese Sable) x Plank's Aqualena (Blue)

Black Jr. Doe.

So far, I'm quite pleased with how this litter has turned out - much better then I had hoped for. Holding onto for a bit to see how she matures out. She will be a nice doe to make Siamese Sables with, since she carries REW or chl.

Woodmont's Celcius

R/O Chirp (Siamese Sable) x Woodmont's Shining Star (REW)

Proven REW Sr. Doe.

Ah, the REW doe I've been looking for to solve some of my color quandries. She is a very nice doe actually and I'm thrilled to have her. Noteably, she has The Nature Trail's Mambo behind her.

GBF's Caldera

GBF's Tobias x GC L&R Cookie (4 legs)

Proven Sable Point Sr. Doe.

Caldera was a nice surprise. I knew that Cookie most likely carried REW, but had no idea that Tobias carried the sable gene.

Caldera is such a pretty girl, even though she is a 'normal'. Beautiful top line that carries back well over her full HQ. Pretty good side to side width and placement on her crown. Lovely curvature on a huge head. She has really matured into a massive doe, hugh round HQ. She is a sweetheart. She has weaned her first litter.
