Update - I decided not to go with the velveteens at this time and concentrate entirely on upgrading the quality of my elop herd.
I am still picking up 4 rabbits so far at convention. I am getting a male/female pair from each breeder.
From the breeder where I am getting Packard, the harly buck, I am also getting a bkn opal doe. Having both the agouti and bkn gene, I am hoping for tri babies out of the pair. She is also part of a chocolate project and has chocolate in her background, so maybe a couple of those too. Here is her pic.<br /><br />__________ Sun Sep 09, 2012 9:09 am __________<br /><br />From the top breeder where I am getting my herd buck, I am also picking up a bkn creme 6-8 doe. She, too, has already won both of her jr legs, one as a BOB and one as BOS. I'm told she is no longer showable tho, due to the fact that she has nicked one of her ears. I've not seen the nick, but showable or not, she's got some great bloodlines behind her. Her brother, and a sister, have both won, and her brother took BOB at the double show where she placed BOS No pic of this one as yet, but she is a real beauty. I have very high hopes for this pair's babies.
