Holland Lop - GC The Nature Trail's Mercedes - Senior Doe The Nature Trail's Mercedes was my first homegrown grand champion.

She earned six junior legs, including four BOS. She earned two senior legs just two weeks after turning senior. She died with 23 legs.

She was also my first homegrown rabbit to place at a national show. She placed fourth at the 2005 Nationals in Columbus, Ohio. I was tickled that she won one of those wonderful nickel silver loving cups that commemorated t Holland Lop - GC The Nature Trail's Mercedes - Senior Doe he 25th anniversary of Holland Lop Nationals.

I liked just about everything about this doe. She had nice bone, full cheeks and nice width between the eyes that carried to the muzzle.

She had fantastic fur and passesdthat down to her offspring. Her grandson Lex was 5th place for fur at the 2007 Grand Rapids ARBA National Convention.

Mercedes died on November 22, 2007, from complications during kindling.
