Will it was a crazy day for many reasons but a good turn out with 490 rabbits plus 55 cavy. The Mini Rex lead all with 116 entries, then Netherland Dwarf with 78, Holland Lop with 67 and English Lop at 58. We had Champagne D'Argent, Rex, Silver Fox and Thrianta there too which we don't get every show. My Havana's did well but the Blue Buck did the best with BOSB in the A, B & C show. Normally Black Havana's are the most common variety and I had the only one. There were only a total of 10 Havana's there, kinda disappointing on that note. The Chocolates were a strange group of the day, totally different judging order by all three judges. A judge had the third place doe from last month as BOV and BOB, B judge had that doe 2nd, and finally C judge had that rabbit as third. My Sr Chocolate doe as 1st and BOV(same doe that had been getting BOB last few shows) in the B & C shows. A young girl who shows in open Havana's and has nice rabbit, a spectacular Chocolate broken doe that got BOB in the B and C show. I had a few inquiries on some sales and even had a mom who had been contacting me via my website came buy to get my broken buck. The daughter decided on a ND for her FFA project. I supported her decision and wished her luck. My new rabbit friend Lisa had a good day too, she has Mini Rex with her daughter. They have a Blue Broken Mini Rex Jr buck is a site to see, he is going to be a heartbreaker. Will busy month for me as I am moving my father down from TN to a condo down closer to us. It is close to the November show so we may or may not be able to attend that show. Also there is another Mid-Florida club show in Ocala Dec. 1st. That is a 6 hour + drive for us.. They do Have a fur class, so it might be worth it. It is hard doing 2 shows every month thou as there is a Dec 8th show in Bartow also.
