Rabbits/Expert Profile

Expertise

The photo is of my daughter with her Best of Breed winner at our State Fair last year. Your questions are being answered by an adult! LOL I can help with questions on breeding and showing rabbits. I DO NOT condone breeding for the sake of breeding. We only breed for specific shows and to improve the breed. I am not a vet, but may be able to help a new person who is getting started and needs some advice. I will refer you to a vet for anything I am not sure of. We raise and show Mini-lop Rabbits. We have raised Grand Champion Rabbits, and we have dealt with problems arising from breeding and having rabbits in general. Whether you want to show, or just have a rabbit as a pet, make sure you have the time to spend with them, the money needed to care for them, and adequate housing for them.

Experience in the area

My family and I raise and show Mini-Lop rabbits. We have raised several Grand Champions, and have won numerous Best of Breed and other awards. We have had many carefully planned litters over the years, and also dealt with problems that arise from having rabbits in general.

Organizations

We are members of the ARBA, and an ARBA registered rabbitry. Also are members of the Mini-lop Rabbit Club of America, and several local clubs.

Education/Credentials

I have no "formal" training, but just rely on the experience I have gained as a successful breeder and shower.

Awards and Honors

Our daughter won Best of Breed at the State Fair, and has numerous other Best of Breed wins. Our rabbits are all loved, healthy, and sweet.

Past/Present Clients

Many people have bought our non-showable rabbits as pets, and have spread the word about our bunnies. They all know they can call or e-mail me with their questions.

What do you like about this subject?

I just love rabbits. Ours are like members of our family. They all have names and unique personalities.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I learn more every single day.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Rabbits are wonderful pets and stress relievers.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Some people think all breeders are evil. That is not true. There are many responsible breeders that breed as we do; for the betterment of the breed. We only do carefully timed breedings for specific shows, and have a waiting list of people who want to purchase our rabbits for pets and for showing. NEVER breed just for fun. Always know what you will do with the babies.
