Rhinelanders

[Duckchick2011]

Hey guys,

I just recently bought a proven pedigreed Rhinelander doe that I am quite excited about. She is a sport and certainly no champion but she was breed to a very handsome buck right before I got her and I am very excited about any babies I might get from her!
I was showed the kits from her last litter and absolutely fell in love

They were almost all little spotties :3

I don't have too many questions, I was just really excited(this is my first rabbit with a pedigree) and really wanted to share. I will get a picture up as soon as she settles in as she had a bit of a rough ride up here.

So, anyone else own Rhinelanders? PLEASE feel free to post any pics of yours on here and share your own Rhinelander experiences

Thanks!

Good luck with the babies and definitely post pics of her.

I almost got one, but went for an English Spot instead. They are super cool looking and I would love to get one someday!

THanks

Oh I LOVE English spots, the dark circles around the eyes are just stunning

If I had a had a choice I might have actually gone with those instead, but I've never seen them for sale around here :/ . Oh well, I'm very happy to have this girl, even if she is acting very grouchy with me right know

You just have to work with her. SHe will get nicer! I haven't seen many Rhinelanders for sale anywhere. There are English Spots everywhere though. Do you have a pic of her? Here's my spot doe, Razzle.

Oh Wow, Razzle is a real beauty! I actually haven't seen very many of the "arched" breeds for sale around here at all, though the woman I bought her from had a BUNCH of Rhinelanders and even a few Checkered Gaints...biggest rabbits I have EVER seen O.O

Yeah, she does seem to be calming down a bit. Yesturday she was very tense and even a little aggressive (more frightened than anything) Today I tried to make friends and gave her some little rose buds my mom had growing and while she's still a little wary she seems to realize I'm not going to devour her the next chance I get. Now instead of tensing up every time I walk by she seems more curious. She still gets very tense, raises her ears, and thrusts her nose towards my hand every time I reach in the cage but by and by I see her relaxing more and more.

Yesturday was just a really bad day for her but I can already see a curious if not rather serious doe shinning through.

I will try to get a pic some time this afternoon when I let her out to get some exercise.

Hey guys, here are the promised pics. She, whom I have named Rhiley, really enjoyed her little time out on the lawn .





We Had a STalker:



Rhiley was not Impressed LOL



But she did love the grass which she gobbled down like there was no tomorrow XD
