We will look for a doe to breed mini rex, and Silver Fox mini rex if possible.  We may even try some tan mini rex.

We have some eggs in the incubator, and hope to have some chicks this month.  First attempt, so odds are not good, but have to try, especially after we lost three hens to a fox.

We have a few litters and more on the way.  Looking forward to a successful year breeding and showing, and with a little luck Dad may share in a little of Alexander's success.

Smudge won Best Junior, 1st U/5, and third best in show at the South West Tan.

Michelle won Best Junior at the National Tan show.

Alexander has now won 9 Best Juniors out of a possible 13 for the year.  Incredible!

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 supplied Alex with his foundation stock, so quite an achievement.  Another great result!

Alex's adult chocolate doe, Ripple, won first adult tan in both shows, so a clean sweep.

Finally Alex won 1st, 2nd and 3rd best junior in the one star show and 2nd in the two star show.

All in all a pretty good December and a stunning year with 7 Best Juniors out of 11 possible.  A truly impressive set of results.

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 2nd Best-in-Show, against over 170 rabbits.  Again with Smudge.

Photos and details to follow in show results.

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.

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 recognise the quality of the bloodlines.  True Quality.

Photos to follow.

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.

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.

Stephan has three litters due on 4 January, one grey to grey and two tri-colour English to regular English.  These latter does should produce blacks, which will breed tri-colours.  I have three chocolate does that should be ready to breed in early February, and I am looking forward to producing some show rabbits again. 

The more I look at the tri-colours the more I find them interesting.  I find the spotting too small and too many, but breeding to regular English should help this trait.  I know most English breeders don't like tri-colours, but I imagine this was the same when chocolates first appeared on the scene.  Anything that brings more fanciers to the English breed has to be a good thing.  So I shall persevere. 

Merry Christmas to everyone and enjoy you rabbits.  Good luck for 2009, and I hope you get get a flyer or two.

Stephan
