Jordan's Argente Bruns Wins Double Best In Show at Red Bluff on Sunday

In show C on Sunday, Jordan's Argente Bruns wins the first Best In Show ever west of Mississippi.  And best is yet to come.   

In show D, Jordan's Argente Bruns again wins the Best In Show.   Reserve In Show goes to Griffin Harrah's Havana.   

Jordan's Argente Bruns MGR Dominic made history by winning one Reserve In Show and two Best In Show during the Red Bluff weekend.  It's a huge accomplishment as the breed is fairly new.  Jordan helps to give a brief description of the breed:

 "Argente Brun recognized in 2015 at the Portland Convention. Presented by Charmaine Wardrop. It's a 6 class rabbit between 8.5 to 10.5 pounds for senior does. It is born solid Chocolate but then silvers out to a frosted Chocolate brown surface color with age. Similar to the Champagne and Creme but just a different base color and smaller size."
