Black
Kelly’s Bud
(Kelly’s Brian x Kelly’s Kate)
Bud is from Autumn Kelly of Iowa. Autumn was getting out of Dutch around the time of the fire, and she and her family (mom Sally and sisters Maple and Deanna) sent several of her top-notch Dutch to me to help me rebuild my herd. Bud has proven to be one of my best brood does and throws both type and markings. Several of her babies have done well on the show table and been kept as part of my breeding herd. She has a litter by Midnight.
GC Briony’s Tumbling Dice (GC Briony’s Bing x Peters’ RH2) - 7 GC Legs*
Dice is a gorgeous doe, and was the first big winner out of my new herd. At her first show, the 2007 Missouri Dutch Club specialty, she won BOB with over 100 rabbits entered. She went on to take a 2nd and 3rd Reserve in Show before moving on as a brood doe. Dice then came out of retirement to take 1st place and Best Sr. Black at the 2008 ARBA Convention!! Since then she has alternated between raising litters and winning shows, with two more BOBs in 2009. She has a litter by Trevor’s Knight.
GC Briony’s Rock ‘n’ Roll
(GC Persons’ Classy x Kelly’s Bud) – 3 GC Legs
Rock ‘n’ Roll is a super typey doe…her smooth, round body impressed even some of my Satin breeder friends! She won her first BOB at 3 1/2 months, and finished out with another BOB and a BOS. She’s proving to be a top-notch brood doe as well, with some well marked and typey litters! She has a litter by Storm.
Hume’s Sassy
(Emily’s Ben x Emily’s Lucy) – 1 GC Leg
Sassy is another doe from Kristy Hume. She was very well named and always has an opinion about what is going on in the barn. She’s a bigger, broody-looking doe and therefore a great match for some of my smaller, more compact bucks. She has a litter by Trevor’s Knight.
GC Kathy’s K49
(Fred’s FB20 x Kathy’s KB14) – 3 GC Legs
K49 is a lovely, typey doe who granded easily for me and went on to be a top-notch producer. A doe from her first litter (Chasing Shadows) took 5 BOB awards in the fall of 2008. I’m looking forward to more great things from this girl! She has a litter by Classy.
GC Briony’s Factory Girl
(GC Briony’s Bing x Hume’s Sassy) – 3 GC Legs
Factory Girl is a typey doe with gorgeous fur! She did well on the show table and won a RIS but was bred soon after turning senior and has raised some pretty litters. She then came out of retirement to take another BOB and that elusive third leg! She has a litter by GC Briony’s Jet.
Showalter’s Dandelion
(GC Persons’ Classy x Showalter’s Ellie) – 1 GC Leg
Dandy is a pretty little doe I got back from a breeding I did for some friends. She has turned out nicely with a deep, smooth body and did well on the show table despite some tough competition from my other black does. She has a litter by Midnight.
Hume’s Hope
(Tommy D’s Fifty x Hume’s Mikey) – 1 GC Leg
Hope is a new purchase from Kristy Hume. I was consistently producing slightly low cheeks and was looking for something to balance that out. Hope was a perfect fit. She’s got great type and a beautiful round head, and I can’t wait to see how she produces! She is bred to Bing. (Photo by Kristy Hume)
Peter’s Morgan
(Briony’s Deuces Wild x Tri R’s Sue’s Gift) – 1 GC Leg
Morgan is a pretty little doe I got from Sue Peters at the National Dutch Show. She’s got great depth of body, flesh and a snappy short coat. Her sire is a Bing x Bud son. She is raising her first litter by Bing.
Blue
Briony’s Sweet Virginia
(GC Lehmann’s McGrath x Peters’ RH2)
Virginia is a typey, well-marked doe who always managed to be eclipsed on the show table by half-sister Dice. She’s a bigger doe who has a great combination of depth and bone, and is one of my best brood does. She has a litter by Hawkeye’s Eyecatcher.
Peters’ Dahlia (GC Peters’ H1 x Peters’ 4DE) Has a litter by McGrath
Knieling’s Helena
(Knieling’s KH3W2 x Knieling’s KKE314)
Helena is a beautiful doe from Gene Knieling of Oregon. She has a very well balanced body and an awesome rear end. She has a litter by Bing.
*All rabbits have 4 legs, right?!? Yes, they do: 4 to hop on and we hope many to be proud of! A GC Leg is a show win that qualifies as a “leg” towards a rabbit’s Grand Champion certificate. In order to become a Grand Champion, a Dutch must be registered and win at least 3 legs. These legs must be under at least 2 different judges and at least one must be won as a senior.
