One of my fav shows. This was held in Spartanburg, SC and sponsered by our dwarf club - Southeastern Dwarf Fanciers in conjunction with the local Holland Lop club. It's a Triple ND, Triple HL specialty, but the main focus is the NDs.
Weather forecast was a bit iffy for an early morning drive over the mts, so I went down Fri night and stayed with others at the motel. It's an easy 2.5 hr drive. Those of us that were there hooked up for dinner at a local buffet restaurant. I didn't sleep well at the motel, never do, so I was really whipped at the end of the day.
I pulled a few legs. Back In Black, little black JB earned 1 BOG leg. He might have got another, but I won't be sure until I get the show report. Also got the report from his last show and there was a BOG leg. That gives him a total of 3 for sure. I just realized he's 5 mos old. Yay! There are does waiting in line for him!
Sia Sable JB Foxtrot got his 1st leg for BOG. That surprised me! He's an itty bitty bunny with a lot of filling out to do.
Broken Black SB Dot.com earned his 2nd leg for BOG. I was losing to a Dwarfs R Us broken SB all day until we had Jamie Green in show C. He gave Dot his first leg a few months ago. He likes Dot.com!
Broken Blue JD Sweet Dream was BOSV and BJoV (Best Jr of Variety) all day, and BJoG twice. No legs for that, there were only 2 broken does. Best Jr isn't an ARBA leg, but I'll take the brag.
Sold the last bunny on the sale page, and bought a young himi doe - Mortenson's DC. She's almost ready to breed from a southern rabbitry whose himis I've admired. She's a self bred himi. Meaning she's almost pure himi with black self as a base. The only sia sables are a couple in the 3rd generation. She's the perfect mate for Back In Black as that's what he was "designed" for. Her pedigree is heavy on Woollet's and Covert's, some of the best himi herds in the land. I'm looking forward to what she can do for my himis.
Show ran a bit long, even tho it was very well organized. It's fun b/c you can have rabbits on 3 different tables at the same time as they split up the judges and groups to keep it moving. It was actually 2 tables at a time for me. Now I know how multi-breed exhibitors feel. I didn't get out of there until 5pm. Got home about 7:30. Put the poor tired buns away and gave them a special treat of hay. Paint Job was so exhausted, he just stretched out and didn't move again while I was tending to the rest. Then I wound down catching up on the internet. Slept like a log.
Don't have another show until March. That will be the big Dalton triple. Unusual to not have a Feb. show, but I can catch up on some other things during the break.
