Back from Wetaskiwin & New Buns

Wetaskiwin was great. Lots of fun as always, EARS always puts on a great show :) Did ok on the tables, happy with how I did. Got some good comments on the buns I did show. Registered Skittles, so Anna should get her Grand Champion soon on her. Brought home lots of buns including a few that were not planned.
New buns:
  • Sunny's Cobalt - blue Holland doe hopefully bred to Crystal's VERY nice boy Money Maker
  • Ranch's Petunia - opal Holland doe hopefully bred to Crystal's Chinchilla buck Storm Chaser
  • Creator's Skywishes - broken blue Holland doe is bred to Rueban now
  • Cutie Patootie/L&R Lots A Heart - nice young senior Tort Holland buck
  • Cutie Patootie Iggy - very promising broken Black Holland buck. He got great comments, the judges loved him just needs maturity to get BOV or BOB :)
  • Prominent's Smudge-broken lilac steel Mini Lop buck will be a nice boy when he grows up some more
  • Prominent's Ginger - broken chocolate chestnut Mini Lop doe nice little girl has to grow up as well
  • JT's Wetaskiwin - broken chocolate chestnut Mini Lop buck. He got a leg this week-end and was one I did not expect to bring home
  • Prominent's Buttercup - Blue Magpie Harlequin doe. A breed I had inquired about and when Samantha fell in love with this girl we had to bring her home
  • Prominent's Bliss - Lilac Magpie Harlequin doe. Buttercup's daughter and very sweet.
  • Prominent's Bandit - Blue Magpie Harlequin doe. Buttercup's daughter and also very sweet.
As you can guess we added a new breed with the Harlequins and they are going to be Samantha's breed. From what I learned they are very similar in breeding/culling to my TSW cavies, should be lots of fun.

Right now we have five does that have been bred:
  • -Cobalt x Money Maker due March 15 (crossing my fingers that she took)
  • -Petunia x Storm Chaser due March 15
  • -Skywishes x Rueban due March 20
  • -Pearl x Wetaskiwin due March 20
  • -Skittles x Willow due March 20
Will be all for now as I have to bring them in the house to kindle and raise the babies and I don't have anymore room than that.

Some planned litters will be:
  • V&V's Jordan x Creator's Jacquie
  • V&V's Jordan x Sunny's Pansy
  • V&V's Jordan x Ranui's Cassie
  • Ranui's Cole x Sunny's Daila
  • Ranui's Cole x Tanya's Squirrely
  • Ranui's Dark Secret x Velotta's Wenatchee
  • JT's Wetaskiwin x Tamashanter's Bluejeans
  • Ranui's Wes x Rah's Squeaker
  • Lots Of Lops Canon x Tamashanter's Phoebe
  • Tamashanter's Jackson x Lots A Lops Bailey
  • Little Valley's Mike x Nequila's Tammy
  • Nequila's Chester x Little Valley's Misty
  • Little Valley's Mike x Little Valley's Mirage
Very soon we will be adding two Frenchies from Sarah McCrea(black doe and broken cream buck), two lionheads(chinchilla and black) and two Texel cavies(black and broken blue roan) from Sherri Evans. They should be here in the next week or so.

I should be attending the Chestermere show especially when it is a triple. Hopefully will have some nice buns to show.

August I am planning on attending the quad show put on by EARS and there is talk of there being a cavy show. That would be great and I would plan on taking some. I would have the one Texel to show and at least one American, hopefully more if the babies I have turn out as nice as I think they are. I am going to put my boar back in with the two sows, though I definately need some new blood. I am looking for a pair of TSW, red/white or GA/R/W and would really like them to be bigger plus have nicer patching and little brindling.

Kiley might be going to Edmonton for the show there in April and both her and Cola will be at Taylor in May(will be my first time in the dog show ring!)

Nothing much else going on here.
