Black
GC Briony’s Bing
(Lehmann’s Phillip x Tommy D’s Cherry) – 8 GC Legs*
Bing is my favorite rabbit. He is my first home-bred BIS winner and his short but impressive show career included several BOB’s and a Best 4 Class. He retired early after a bite on the nose from a girlfriend. Bing was one of my two fire survivors, and at 5 still has a slick coat and smooth body. He is the foundation of my herd and throws his outgoing personality along with his ability to condition easily and hold a prime coat through an entire show season. Bing’s offspring have done very well locally, winning many BOB, BOS and BIS/RIS awards, and have also placed well at the national level. Just recently, two rabbits he sired placed first in their classes at the 2008 ARBA Convention and went on to take Best Sr. Black and BOSV Blue.
GC Persons’ Classy
(GC Briony’s Bing x Bergene’s 2G23) – 6 GC Legs
While we were rebuilding, Bing and McGrath went to live with neighbor and youth Dutch breeder Jenna Persons. Classy is a Bing son who Jenna raised and gave to me when she got out of Dutch. He has rivaled his father’s ability to produce winners, and throws babies with round, smooth bodies. At 3, he makes an occasional trip to a show and continues to place very well!
Hawkeye’s Eyecatcher
(GC Hawkeye’s Blue Chip x Hawkeye’s 524H) – 2 GC Legs
This guy is definitely eyecatching! He had done well as a show rabbit, placing in the top 10 at Nationals, before being retired and coming to me. He has a short, round body and super head. His first litters look very nice and I’m looking forward to more great things from him!
GC Trevor’s Knight (TK)
(Schwandt’s S675 x Kortbein’s K606) – 12 GC Legs
TK comes from Trevor in Texas. He has been very successful for him, winning two youth BIS and many legs. I was lucky enough to snap him up when he was reducing his herd! He’s a gorgeous, massive buck with a nice round rear!
Blue
GC Lehmann’s McGrath
(Lehmann’s B21 x Lehmann’s D25) – 3 GC Legs
McGrath, my blue buck, was my other fire survivor. He was given to me by Rick Lehmann several years ago. McGrath did well on the show table, but was usually edged out by Bing. He has excellent depth, head and bone which he reproduces. He’s very prolific, at 5 still sires large litters and very rarely will a doe bred to him miss. He has sired of some of my best-producing does and is the grandsire of Midnight Rambler.
GC Briony’s Midnight Rambler
(GC Briony’s Bing x Briony’s Sweet Virginia) – 8 GC Legs
Midnight is a buck who I’m really fond of. One of my goals for 2008 was to produce another herdsire, as some of mine are getting up there in age, and this little guy fit the bill. He’s well marked with a ton of depth, thick bone and a great head. Midnight has had an incredible show career so far. After success at local shows, including two RIS wins, he was bumped up to a senior at the 2008 ARBA Convention and went on to win BOSV Blue! His litters are looking very nice and will be hitting the show tables this summer!
GC Briony’s Storm
(GC Briony’s Midnight Rambler x Kathy’s KO5) – 3 GC Legs
Storm is a small, compact buck who is built like a little tank! He’s short with lots of depth, a nice head and awesome bone and fur. Despite his long stops and nasty saddle he still placed in the top 10 at the 2009 NDS. His big moment came in the fur class, when as a last minute substitute he won Best Blue Fur and Best Fur Overall! He has continued to do well on the show table and I’m looking forward to seeing his litters!
Steel
GC Hooper’s KS19
(Hooper’s K772 x Hoopers KS384) - 6 GC Legs
This little guy will start my foray into Steels, and what a nice start he is! He’s a very well balanced little buck who has shown well, taking BOSV as a junior at the 2008 ARBA Convention.
