Chocolate Kiss In Shows

In March, Chocolate Kiss is still a bunny, a very well behaved baby bunny. She is here sitting on a chair waiting for her term to go onto the show table. This picture was taken in Myrtle Point, Oregon.

At the CRCS show in Monterey, Chocolate Kiss is still very well behaved; she is sitting on the grooming table waiting to go on the show table. She received her senior leg in show B and now eligible for the Grand Champion status. This is Betty's first chocolate doe, she has kept a chocolate buck in the late 80s. During the first 10 years, Betty had a rainbow of colors but for 20 years, her main colors have been REW and torts.

Hi Grandma Look At The English Angora

Annabella and mom are at the CRCS shows in Monterey. Her eyes lit up when she sees the Angora yarns, she wants some for her grandma to knit into scarves. She picks out two skeins of tort yarns that are enough for three medium size scarves.

"Hi, Grandma, see what I got here! A tort English Angora. The Angora yarns are from the English Angora rabbits that are the same color as this one."

Give Me That Granola Bar!

Chase in his show coat a year ago, great density and very handsome too. All good show coats have to come to an end, ....

Chase now mostly stays home relaxing and being the daddy to a daughter and three sons. Last weekend Chase went along for the ride to the show in Monterey. Instead of competing on the show table, he gets a hair cut in the show room. He says to mama Betty, "You got my wool, I want your granola bar; give me that granola bar!"

Those who had never seen a naked English Angora are all amazed how small Chase is; Betty often gets the question of "How big is an English Angora?" Her standard answer is "About the same size as a Chihuahua."

After seeing naked Chase, people are very convinced that an English Angora is no bigger than a Chihuahua!
