Well we had a blast at the show. Ran into some people who were excited to see me since they are on waiting lists for my birds. All of them were so happy I'm finally getting eggs from my girls. Two of them took me around to people they had told about me and I have 10 more buyers! Not selling much yet though since I had the mad break and toga party and have to hatch till I know I have pure breds with all of them.
I went there hoping to fing breeders so I could buy Lionheads later on. Not set up for them yet. Didn't take much money, so I wouldn't be tempted. Yeah! That really worked. Alsp wanted to check out Netherlands. I like the Lionheads better.
So I met some of the top breeders and although I can't remember names, I have lots of cards. I need to try to remember who is who. LOL
Well there was a breeder showing Netherlands. Beautiful rabbits. She did really well there. She had 2 Lionheads with her. She getting out of the breed and they were her breeder does. She GAVE them to me. Pedigrees included!
Then a lady next to her had the colors she said she would have bought and used for breeding. Soooooo.....talked to her, but she was waiting for the stud owner to show up and pick from this litter. Guess everyone live way far from eachother. I wondered for a while, got introdued to some people who are tops in the breed and then the stud owner showed. Everyone was excited to know what I was waiting for and who. So I watched him picking through and kept hoping he wasn't going to pick the buck I wanted. He almost took him several times and then didn't!!!! So I have him and named him Wascal.
My does are black and seal and my buck is blue grome at the moment but may go all blue. I wanted her chocolate so bad, but she's not getting up off of any. LOL...........She got best of breed. She was so happy and i have my buck from the same lines, so I'm happy too.
Walked around holding Wascal and people were coming up to look at him and ask about him. I said, he's is going to be my stud and what I know about rabbits is they eat, chew and poop. But I have breeders who want to trade later and also want birds!!!!
Breeders took my number and gave me theirs and want babies from my babies. They all just loved Wascal. Not bad. First rabbit show other than a fair. Didn't know squat and I have breeders wanting what these three produce. Awesome!
I almost didn't go. Over slept. My bator in lockdown spiked and had to wait to adjust
So glad I went because I mad a ton of contacts. Oh I am even getting a couple of the black silkies I wanted from a show breeder. We're doing a trade for future bunnies!
OK I finally had a great day. Haven't had one in almost a year, so it felt good. I may actually be able to sell some birds and make a little more for feed and who knows..........food for us! Would be nice.
But, Cheryl! I'm so sorry this is all happening to you. I hope they make this right and I do mean right. Your poor dogs! You poor people! I'd be devistated. I know there's nothing anyone can do, but we're here for you if there is. Lots of hugs woman!
Anna I'm so happy your chicks made it. Can't wait to see pics!
