Powerful Bunny Power

Bundles of green onion in the supermarket.

Plant the roots from the supermarket green onions, put in some bunny power, the green onions go into overdrive.

Green onion plants have flowers.

Green onion flowers are quite pretty.

Have you ever seen seeds in green onion flowers? Here they are, courtesy of bunny power fusion.

End Of Sweeps Year

The sweepstakes year of National Angora Rabbit Breeders Club runs from August 1 to July 31 each year. Today is the end of the 2008/2009 sweepstakes year. Betty says,

"I am very pleased with the show results of my rabbits. This is one of my better years in competition. My rabbits received all breed Best In Show 18 times, all breed Reserve In Show 8 times, specialty Best In Show 15 times, plus the Best of Breed in the ARBA national convention.

Katianna turns out to be the major winner this sweeps year, receiving all breed BIS 7 times, all breed RIS 5 times and specialty BIS 6 times.

I am putting on a page to tally up my record this sweepstake year. See http://bettychuenglishangora.blogspot.com/ "

Maddie And Her Pup

Maddie and her Australian Shepard puppy cuddle up in the cool Monterey temperature.

No wonder actors do not like to work with kids and puppies; Maddie and the pup are cuter than cute.

Let's Groom The Dutch

Sisters Elsa and Dominique are very good at grooming their French Angora. They decide that their Dutch also needs be groomed.

Dominique holds on to the Dutch, Elsa blows.

Dominique makes sure that the Dutch does not run away when Elsa puts on the blower.

The sisters comb the Dutch.

By now, it's hoped that our readers realize that Elsa is grooming a stuffed toy rabbit!!!

Swanka Wins Specialty Best In Show

At the Monterey show, NCAG sponsored an Angora specialty show. Betty's English Angora white senior doe Chu's Swanka took specialty Best In Show.

At 8 months old, Swanka has two all breed Best In Show and two specialty Best In Show under her belt. As she matures futher, it is hoped that there will be more Best In Show to come.

Youth Best In Show at Monterey

Cody with the two Mini Satin rabbits that won youth Best In Show at the CRCS shows. The rabbit in the left won BIS in show A and the one in the right won BIS in show B. Cody has just become an ARBA registrar, paving the road for his judge's license in a couple of years.

Big brother Justin is the owner of the two Mini Satin rabbits that won youth BIS. He was working at a fair when the CRCS shows were being held at Monterey. This picture was taken in April when his rabbit won youth Best In Show in the West Coast Classic show, also at Monterey. Justin will be taking his judge's license test in a couple of months and we are expecting another young and able judge in CA.
