In between visiting God-parents and God-children we visited Three Leighs.
Alexander took two adult and three young tans. The young black doe that went 2nd best in show last week, Smudge, took 3rd best in show at the one star show and 5th in the two star show. Smudge also took 2nd best fancy in the one star show.. She took best tan in both shows. A major mile-stone was that Alexander beat Ken Lettington for the first time. Ken is a major tan breeder and the man who

In both Junior shows, he not only won best junior, but second best junior and third best junior, against a lot of competition.
At NKF he won 2nd U/5 months, with Smudge.
At Medway Towns he won Best Fancy, 1st U/5 months, and after a split decission with the judges, finally finsihed

I took Kelly Queen II and Angel to the London English. Queen and Angel didn't do much, but Kelly got first U/5 months Chocolate doe and 2nd U/5 months doe. The firs time I have shown at an English club show, so I was quite pleased.

A two day event with a new show each day. Alexander took two young tans, but both were in moult, so not the best chances. On day two the doe was 1st U/5 Fancy, and second junior fancy on both days, to different rabbits each day. Not bad all things conisidered.
Next week Dad is entering three English at the London English.

We have taken three tans to Guernsey, where Alexander's Uncle Richard is looking after them, so Alexander can show them in Guernsey for a few months. We will see how they get on.

Alexander took a few rabbits to the Cambridge Fanciers show, which was also hosting the East Anglian Tan Young Stock. Cocoa came first in the U/5 Chocolate doe class but came second to the U/5 buck in the East Anglian Tan show, but beat the buck in the Cambridge show.
Cocoa won Best Junior in both shows.
So, after a couple of poor results, Alexander now has 4 Best Junior awards, with three different rabbits.

We took Theodora, Simone and Speedy to Tonbridge, and Speedy came out on top this time.
Speedy won Best Junior Fancy, Best Junior, 1st under 5 months Fancy, 1st under 5 months Grand Challenge and 6th in the any age Grand Challenge. Supreme all round. Alexander has had more success in his two outings than I managed in 6 years showing as a junior! I guess that's tans over English for you, something I resigned myself to when we first set him up. However, I must also

We entered our first show on Sunday 1 March. I took Wispa who was 1st of 6 adult chocolate English in the Medway Towns and 2nd of 6 in the North Kent Fanciers.
Alexander had far more success with Simone (08/B/08162) getting best junior fancy and best junior.
We are looking for more shows in the area.

Alexander has two litters of tans, one with 3 blacks, one with 3 chocolates and a black.
I have 5 young English, two blacks carrying tri-colour and three greys.
I have waited a long time for this, in fact the best part of 30 years for grey youngsters. I am so excited, and have to pick them up every day.
