Cinnamon first.
I know someone who has them and that wants Cremes. I am pretty sure I can set up a trade. Does anyone here have them? I myself don't really care for the over all darker ones but I like the lighter body with dark points ones. which is the color of a good one? do the darken as they get older? I am not really a tort fan but hubby is.....always nice to have HAPPY strong arms to help with chores on board

now the Silvers. Has anyone seen the brown silver in person? do they just look like old greying haired wild bunny or does that "silver" give them a shine? Do they have "WOW" factor? or just the rare factor?

Chocolate Beverens has anyone seen these in person? do they make you all warm and fuzzy inside? do you know if they are trying to make them a show able color?

dang the new rabbit breed bug has bitten.

Beverens: the good ones are a deep chocolate brown, from what I've seen. yes, they're very very lovely..longer fur than your normal rabbit. Yes, we're trying to get them into the show ring. Kim Calloway from Indiana is doing the majority of the work on this. They are BIG rabbits, btw. Very "curious" rabbits. Into everything if they get the chance. In general, great temperaments.

I raised silvers for several years. I mostly had blacks, but I did have a brown. They have very interesting coats -- ruddy brown that's ticked with black AND white. You can see some pictures at the National Silver Rabbit Club Website : http://silverrabbitclub.com

Good luck in your search!

At one time during the first go-round, I had Cinnamons and really liked them alot, particularly the darker colored ones. They were a good balance of body size and fur color which wasn't very common at the time.

I never saw my first Creme D'Argents (or Champagnes for that matter) until last year's Arkansas State Fair. They never existed here when I first was involved in local showrooms, a period of time which ran from 1978 thru the end of 1985. Never saw a Silver or Beveren, either. Times indeed have changed.
