Friends from Japan

It's a big thing for breeders in the US to attend the ARBA national convention. It's even a bigger thing for breeders in Japan to attend the ARBA national convention. If anyone thinks our 8 or 9 or 10 hour flights are hard, imagine they have to make connections in four or five cities with the one way trip lasts over 25 hours. It is definitely a major event for the breeders from Japan to make it to the convention.

In the top photo, from left to right are Koichiro, Hiroyuki, Chu's Fawntana, Betty and Yumiko. Koichiro and Hiroyuki are breeders of Netherland Dwarf, American Fuzzy Lop, Holland Lop and Polish. Yumiko is a breeder of English Angora and American Fuzzy Lop. All from Japan, of course. Koichiro and Hiroyuki have attended every ARBA convention since 2000; this is Yumiko's first convention.

The second photo is Yumiko with Betty and the third photo is Yumiko with top American Fuzzy Lop breeder Carol G.

We had a great time together. Though our spoken languages are not exactly the same, but the rabbit language is universal. We all share the love for rabbits and the desire to achieve perfection.
