Baker Family Rabbitry

🏆BEST IN SHOW🏆

Last Saturday was the Wisconsin State RBA annual State Convention show. Dorothy's day started early with youth contests before the show even started! Youth Polish showed later in the morning, and her broken senior buck was awarded Best Of Breed, but the fun didn't stop there. After a few hours of hanging out with friends and volunteering at the raffle table, the time finally came for all the BOB winners to compete for Best 6 Class (large breeds) and Best 4 Class (small breeds), and her Polish was chosen Best 4 Class, then ***Best In Show***, so the top prize came home with us! BOV/BOB/B4C/BIS Broken Chocolate Senior Buck, GC Dot's Hot Chocolate (HOTCOCO)

She got to ride her high well into the evening at the annual banquet, where she was announced as the youth show winner and also learned the youth contest results: she made both the Breed ID and Judging teams for her age group (senior), so she'll once again represent WI at the National Convention (this year in Indianapolis in November).

Brought only one Havana to the Between the Lakes RC show yesterday, and he earned BOS in both shows! Of course it's that lilac buck again, GC Timothy's Rodney Dangerfield (WE3). His coat and color are slipping with all the humidity we've been having lately, but the competition has that problem, too, so he's still competitive. Round Da Bend Rabbitry won both BOB awards with a lovely broken senior doe.

Rodney's sister sat this one out as she's due to have a litter this week, but a Mini Rex with her same name (Olive Oyl) won BIS! Congrats to S&S Carrot Patch Rabbitry! That had nothing to do with us, but I'm going to pretend it did just because of the name coincidence, LOL. Our Olive Oyl got an honorable mention at the BIS table at her last show, so let's say the name carried momentum into this one ;-)

I had Rodney posed perfectly on the photo table but he would only hold still so long as I kept a finger scratching his face...I opted to give you two "action shots" rather than a picture with my hand in it. Enjoy!

It was a beautiful weekend in Weyauwega for the Happy Hoppers show! Highlights for us were three Best Opposite S*x wins (some rabbits are better at holding still for photos than others, lol).
