I reserve the right to refuse or cancel a sale to anyone, at any time, for any reason. I also reserve the right to alter this policy at my discretion, with or without updating this page.
All rabbits for sale will be labeled “for sale” in their information. Most will be on the “Juniors” page.
I have limited space and, unless entered in a National show, cannot hold a rabbit for more than two weeks. You must arrange to meet me at a show or somewhere in the Wichita area. Please keep in mind that I work full time office hours and am frequently gone on weekends.
When purchasing a show or breeding animal, you will receive a 3 generation pedigree that is complete to the best of my knowledge along with a supply of my food to transition the rabbit over to yours.
I accept cash or money orders for rabbits, but do NOT accept personal checks. I will be happy to give you prices for any rabbits you may be considering so you can be prepared. In some circumstances I may ask that a deposit be put on the rabbit or for it to be prepaid. If this is the case, I will state so in the rabbit’s information. All rabbits must be paid for in full before leaving my care.
Local Shows
If meeting me at a show, I expect you, or whoever is picking the rabbit up, to get in touch with me in a timely manner. If another person is picking up the rabbit for you, it must either be prepaid in full or they must have the full payment in cash or a money order. I reserve the right to refuse to send a rabbit with anyone who plans to transport it in an unsafe manner, such as in a cardboard box or doubled-up with other rabbits. If this is the case, I will take the rabbit back home with me and ask you to make other arrangements to pick it up.
Please do not ask me to wait until after judging for you to make up your mind about the rabbit. I will be happy to look over the animal with you, and invite another Dutch breeder to give an opinion on the rabbit. Part of being a good breeder is being able to form your own opinion about an animal and how its strengths and weaknesses will fit in your herd. Remember that a judge is there to give an opinion on the show qualities of the rabbit on that particular day.
National Shows
I will hold any animals you are interested in looking at on a first-come, first-serve basis, however you must make your decision by noon on Sunday at the ARBA Convention, or 8 PM on Friday at the National Dutch Show or National Mini Rex Show. After this, the rabbit will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
In order to give them the best possible shot on the show table, any rabbits entered in a National show will remain in my care until after judging is completed. This means I will do all feeding, watering, cleaning and grooming for the rabbit. Coops may be zip-tied or ringed, so please respect this. After judging, feel free to give treats and get to know your new addition!
Show Quality – Rabbits sold as show quality are those I feel to be good prospects on the show table and as breeding animals. I can’t promise they’ll win, but if they’re kept in good condition they shouldn’t embarass you. They are guaranteed to be unaltered and free of disqualifications at the time of sale. I cannot be responsible for any disqualification that appears after the rabbit has left my care, nor can I guarantee placings or results. Even if it has produced litters for me, I cannot guarantee the amount or quality of offspring the rabbit may produce for you.
Breeding Quality – Rabbits sold as breeding quality are those I feel could be valuable in a breeding program, but may not fare so well on the show table. They may be rabbits I have used for breeding who are past their show prime or they may have some marking flaws that will knock them out of top awards. Some may even have disqualifications, if so, these will be noted in their information. Again, I cannot be responsible for disqualifications that appear after the rabbit has left my care, nor can I guarantee placings or results. I cannot guarantee the amount or quality of offspring the rabbit may produce for you, even if the rabbit is a proven producer.
Health Guarantee
I guarantee that any rabbit I sell will be, to the best of my knowledge, free of any disease or symptoms of disease at the time of sale. I cannot guarantee the health of the rabbit after it has left my care. I will, however, be happy to give you any advice on caring for a sick animal and/or refer you to my vet who is (really!) very good with rabbits.
Stud Policy
I only offer stud service to does of breeding age (6 months and over) purchased directly from me. If you are purchasing one of these does and would like her bred, I will provide you with a list of bucks from which to choose based on compatible qualities and bloodlines. Not all bucks are available for stud service. I do not charge a fee upfront, as I cannot guarantee a litter. If the doe produces a litter with one or more “keepers,” you may then purchase the buck’s pedigree from me. Any litters born of does who are purchased bred will have my name, and my name ONLY, as the prefix on their pedigrees (i.e. Briony’s Flopsy). You may tattoo them whatever you like.
