    anybody else?

    I do! Not not registered but I do keep a pedigree. Not showing yet, but I do try to breed to ARBA standard. I am specializing in blues, I know they are exhibition only, but I love them. As far as I know I am the only person for at least 500 miles with SF. I am also hunting around and wanting...

    I don't know from experience but I just three family spiral aka clan breeding with chickens. I don't see why it wouldn't work with rabbits?
