Triple Crown
The Triple Crown was a very nice show for just Hollands and Netherland Dwarfs. We had 105 open Hollands on the table and lots of very good competition.
I didn't do much to add to the competition, I'm afraid. I showed four solid senior bucks, a solid senior doe, a solid junior doe, Merlin, and three broken junior does. I don't think I've shown Merlin in almost a year. Glad I did - he got his 12th leg.
Java was the only of my own rabbits - again - to earn a leg. He was BOSG under Mike Avesing for his 11th leg. Thank goodness I have Java. He's keeping me going during this current dry spell.
What was really exciting was that my friend Linda Norris granded her first homegrown Holland Lop in style - with two Best of Breeds! Her BOB doe didn't even take the class in the middle show. But she did take it with a different doe. Way to go, Linda.
And, Janice Jones granded her first homegrown Holland - another wonderful milestone. Now, Janice, the pressure is on to get us an updated picture of Master.
Margie Brewer, who won BOS last weekend, upgraded to a Best of Breed in the second show. Also, doing well with a broken junior was Pandora Allen, who won BOS.
I had a great time working with Bruce Ormsby on the youth Netherland Dwarf show. There's a lot to learn about that breed and it's one that I feel all judges should be able to do a credible job with (along with Hollands, Mini Rex, and the commercial type).
I expect my current drought to last for quite some time. My lean breeding in the fall will reach it's long arms into the spring. Maybe things will perk up nearer summer. Until then, I guess I'll have to rely on my senior bucks. My senior girls appear to be back in business, so I don't expect them to spend much time at shows.
After the show, we drove another hour to pick up a new Chihuahua for my son Daniel. We had planned to get a blue and white male, but I could only locate one testicle on him (that registrar training is coming in handy). The breeder decided to sell him a blue fawn and white male - about 4 lbs. I'd estimate. He's adorable. Scamp is quite jealous, but otherwise, things are going well. We'll try to get a picture posted soon.
I hope wherever you were this weekend, you had as much fun as I did.
