HEY! It's a BLOG!...
Due to the unruly amount of junk posts to my tag-board, I decided to change over to a Bravenet Blog where I can more easily manage the content posted. It is fully featured with interactive area's and a new Tag Board too :-) Feel free to leave a comment or Tag me!

Breeding plans for Spring/Summer 2009

LYNX
Made 2 Perfection unfortunately has been giving me some breeding problems - she just doesn't seem to want to take! Succession is also following suit. This spring I will keep trying though, as I'm not yet prepared to remove either of these does from my breeding program.

Peony will be crossed with Tahoe and Distinction for late spring/early summer litters. Ecstacy will be crossed with Tahoe and Downpour.

REW/LYNX
Arietta will be crossed with Distinction. I am also eager to work Taj into my breeding program. His first litter will likely be to Perfect Desires and Peach Blossom.

BEW
This year I will be scaling back my BEW's and VC's to make more room for Lynx and Tans. Current breeding stock will soon be retired and replaced with their offspring in order to continue the improvment of the line. Ideally I'd like to scale down to just a Quad or Trio out of the best producing rabbits that I've had.

Tan Mini Rex
Behind the scenes I am working on further developing and improving the Tan Mini Rex. My main focus will be on the Chocolate Tan and Lilac Tan, however I will have all 4 varieties in the barn. I have my first litter in the nestbox and am eager to document their development. I have been maintaining a separate locked site dedicated solely to the Tan development & improvement, which has also been a place for other Tan Mini Rex breeders to gather their collective ideas and discuss the variety as a whole. I'm not quite ready to publicly unveil this site as of yet, but I assure you it will be posted once all the kinks are worked out of both the site and the Tan vareity itself.


These are just some of the highlights planned for this year's breedings. :-)
