Super Proud Of My Placing

Showed yesterday. Only took 2 rabbits because my show string is currently kind of lacking.

Took a sr lionhead doe, and a jr lionhead buck.

The sr doe took a 3rd, which I was happy enough with. I only took her because I didn't want to be showing just one rabbit.

the jr buck though... I took him for comments, and was absolutely sure he'd be last or DQ'ed. He's young, like, really young. Just turned 12 weeks on thursday young. Only starting to develop his saddle and break young. Two months younger than most of his competition young.

He got 4th, out of 12. I am ecstatic about him getting 4th. He got some great comments from the judge(including an offer to take him home, lol!), and great comments from other exhibitors(including lots of offers to buy him).

They even had 4th place ribbons, so I got a couple of pretty ribbons(the first I've won showing rabbits, the only other show I attended didn't have ribbons).

Walker did fantastic at the show in general as well(except for a bunch of nipping while I was grooming him/working with him). All the prep of taking them to market seemed to have helped greatly, as he mostly slept in his carrier, while many of the rabbits at the show had issues with the noise and people. Walker spent his time stretched out on his side, looking dead(I got a few comments asking if he was dead, and a few extra fun moments of him not responding when I poked him, he was so fast asleep!)

Pictures later, I figured that last night the little bugger deserved his dinner and some time alone to collect himself.

YEAHHHHHHHH!

That is so awesome, Bad Habit!!! You've come a long way from breeding "just for pets", haven't you?!? :clap2:

You've bumped your potential market to where the money is, without sacrificing pet sales. :money:

:congratulations:

Awesome!! Big congrats!

Very cool! Congratulations!

I couldn't blame the judge wanting to bunny-nap your rabbit, Bad Habit !! Such a sweetie <3

I'm looking forward to your photos - I didn't get the chance to take any really.

How wonderful, Bad Habit! Glad you had a great time and that your buns did so well.

:fireworks1:

I agree with HOWsmom - definitely need some pics

I didn't get a chance to get many photos, even with 7 of us in our area, it often fell to me to keep an eye on everything, plus I was feeling poorly and just wasn't up to wandering around/leaving our area. I was planning on taking photos of Walker with his ribbon, but it's raining now, so no luck for that today!


I couldn't get in very close, due to the people with wings out everywhere. Walker didn't much care for these people standing over him, either, he kept nipping their elbows. I was waiting for one of them to complain so I could point out that they could simply keep their elbows out of his coop if they didn't care to be nipped anymore!






Stolen from another breeder's FB - her fiance was going over Walker, grooming him and evaluating him. So valuable to have someone else's hands on a rabbit giving you tips! (Why yes, I was hiding behind J'Adore!)


Stolen from another breeder's FB - Walker posing after a grooming - he looked(and behaved) so much better first thing in the morning!!

I'm still planning on getting a photo of Walker with his ribbon! <br /><br /> __________ Mon Aug 10, 2015 7:46 pm __________ <br /><br />


Here are some good pics of Walker from about a week ago

Well done Bad Habit.

Thanks ladysown I've decided to stick to drcba shows for now, because my rabbits have a chance of meaningful wins, whereas there aren't that many other bew breeders going to the ontario arba shows. Maybe I'll get to see you at one I'm hoping to attend the royal this year, are you going?



Walker and his ribbon I love that it is a yellow ribbon, as yellow is my favourite colour, lol

wow! what a cutie stunner BEW!!
I've been working on my BEW line, but you sure have me beat!!
Congrats

Great job! Congrats. And I am not a bit surprised at the buy offers- he is gorgeous!
