Some changes happening

Well, I have been doing lots of thinking lately and have decided that some changes need to happen around here. I have decided to sell/cull the lionheads completely from my barn. They are not a breed that I really enjoy that much. I do like the looks of them, but just not the breed for me. The Hollands are also gonna get some cutbacks. I would like to cut back their numbers to under 12, as much as I enjoy them, I don't enjoy showing them as much. The Mini Lops and French Lops are also getting some cuts done, but they are also getting some new stuff brought in. I bought some from Kim and Cristina and they will be coming up in the next week or so. There is some very good lines coming up with both breeds and some interesting colors in the French. The only breed not getting any thing done to it is the Harlequins as they are where they should be right now.

Along with the rabbits from Kim and Cristina, there is also coming cavies in Americans, Texels, Peruvians, Silkies, and Alpacas. The cavies are coming from Kim and Cristina, Dillion and Sherri. A pair of fuzzy hollands from Sherri are coming up with the shipment as well, but they are going to Laura-Ann.

I have to palpate a pile of does today and that will help with the cull/sell process as many of the does are on the last chance.

Went to dog show in Grande Prairie yesterday. Met with Laura-ann and her mum in Dawson Creek and met Brianna at the dog show. Had a good visit with them. Anna kinda indicated that she thought showing dogs might interest her. Not sure what breed though, she did like the Westhighland(?) Terriers, Collies, Shelties, the Dandie, the Brittany and Papillions. I like the Collie, the Brittany and the Shelties, but I think we will stick to the Tollers until she really can commit to something. I would like to show at the November Grande Prairie Show, but I know have a lot to work on with Kiley(like standing still!)

Well, not much else going on and I have lots to do so I better get doing it
