Show Season is winding down! I had my last show of the "Sweeps Year" on Saturday. There were some familiar faces missing, but we still managed to have a very good time.
In Show A, under Judge Jay Hreiz, Keep's Panda took BOB! Joni won BOSB with one of her lovely blue does, I think it was Vala, but I could be wrong. The consistency of her self does is so crazy it is hard to tell them apart!
Judge Don Sheets chose for Best In Show and told me that Panda was his 3rd choice- he lost out on RIS because of a little finish. Dang it!
In Show B, Keep's Orion, a Panda son, took BOB and Keep's Catching Fire took BOSB!
I managed to sell all the rabbits I brought with me- three does, and find a pet home for a retired show buck of mine. Of course- I brought home a buck and a doe, both Keep's rabbits that are returning home, as well as borrowed a doe from a friend. This poor little lady keeps having dead litters, so we are hoping that a change to her environment will help her conceive a live litter.
I spent a good chunk of show B writing for Don Sheets. He was great, explaining to me what he looks for in various breeds and even letting me put my hands on several of the rabbits. He also went over one of the Florida White does with me and showed me a few "posing tricks".
Overall, it was a wonderful show. The NCRBA Youth put it on and they did such an amazing job!
