Chestermere Results

Well, we had a great trip down to Calgary. Had lots of fun with Laura-ann and Brianna. We had a few problems with the truck, but since it is on warranty(less than 35000 km on it) we just phone roadside assistance and they come and save us.

We were pretty tired by the end of the show but we were all pretty happy on how we did. You could tell that we were pretty tired when we could not stop giggling at the "cow house" after the zoo and how much fun we had getting lost looking for Westjet Cargo.

For other results, most of my rabbits need condition but still comments was what I was after anyway. Congrats to Brianna on her Youth BIS!

Anna got a BOS and BOB with her Mini Lops in the Youth Show(Ginger-BOS, Wetaskiwin-BOB) Samantha got a BOB with Buttercup under Jan Gosen and BOB(Bliss) and BOS(Langdon) with her Harlies in the Youth Show. I got good comments on all my buns and did fairly well.

I bought some new buns, we brought home a trio of Floridia Whites(wow is all I can say about the muscles on these buns) I bred the one doe already and the litter might be a little interesting as the buck was NOT interested in the doe at all. We then brought out the extremely interested Wetaskiwin and he did the job. The FW buck then was interested and did his job. I guess he needed the competition and shown how ;-)

Also bought some Harlequins - a junior blue doe from Barb Adams, a junior blue buck from Marlene and a senior buck from Valdine(Langdon). Everyone says that I have a VERY nice harlie herd now. Samantha is set with them now. Just have to get some babies from them :-)

Also bought two frosty hollands from Shannon. Both got great comments in the show. The doe is retired to the brood pen now and I imagine that I will bring out Tucker again at the next show. He has the potential but is gangly.

We picked up the two Frenchies from Sarah. I love the Chinchilla doe, both Brianna and Laura-ann said they wanted her as well :). The little steel buck is a cutie as well and shows lots of potential.

Need to get some does bred and hopefully we will have a baby boom. Need to get some babies and then we get some of the seniors out of here that are needing to go.

We also went to the zoo and could of spent much more time there. The girls had fun(so did we)

and was a nice way to spent some time.

We then went and saw some very cute puppies at Lisa's and we of course wanted to take them all home(thankfully they were 4 and 5 weeks old and you can't take them home that young)

Lisa was very happy with how Kiley is turning out and Kiley had a good lesson at the bunny show on how to behave at a show. First day she was a little whiney, but she learned quickly that mum was too busy to play all the time. And no messes in the crate, though once out of it you better be moving fast to a potty spot...

There is more pics of the show and the zoo in the photo albums, didn't get as many as I wanted

but there is some good ones.

Well, that is about all
