NARBC Sweepstakes Prizes, 2023-2024 and 2024-2025

This is the final numbers for the show year of August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2025.  It's a bit late to post it, better late than never.   I am fortunate enough to have stayed at the first place English Angora since 1988, and that is 37 years in a row.    The English Angora Rabbit of the Year (ROY) is BC1AG, Chu's Aurelia.   

What prize did I get for the wins?  This year it's a cross-shoulder bag with the NARBC logo in the front.

In the back, there is a tag with my name on it.

Here is a close up of the tag, showing that I'm the first place winner of total numbers and Chu's Aurelia BC1AG is the first place ROY.   By the way, I like the color of the bag.  Warm color is my thing.

The prize for the 2023-2024 sweepstakes is a jacket.  Somehow I did not post the numbers and now have a hard time finding them.   

I was still at he number 1 English Angora competition and my rabbit was also the ROY first place.  And that's Chu's Raelynne.    Why wasn't any post about it?  I believe it's (a) a confusion during the change of the NARBC management and (b) the color of the prize was so uninspiring that I just put it into my closet and never looked at it again until now.    The size of the jacket is way on the small side, I could barely fit into it though it's a size Large!  I am 5'3" and 112 pounds, a Large should give me a lot of room but not this one.   Sorry, Raelynne, such a beautiful doe but you did not get the spotlight that you deserved.

What's my current standing?  It's looking good, still at number 1 English Angora and Raelynne's daughter Chu's Raeberta is sitting solidly at the number 1 ROY.   The show year is August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2026.  Will see what the final result in a few months.

 

Carol's French Angora Rocks at Antioch

In August 2025 Carol had a litter of 8 French Angora babies born.   There are 1 buck and 7 does; how many breeders can be so lucky to have that many does in the litter?   There are 3 white does, 3 fawn does, 1 black doe and 1 fawn buck.   

The colored French Angora babies are in high demand, especially with Carol's high quality stock.   In no time, out of the 4 colored does, 3 went to different homes.   This is Carol's pick of the colored does, she is named Ava.

Pretty Ava does not disappoint, she won 2 BOB out of the three shows at Antioch and she is just 6 months old.

 

Though the colored does are in high demand, Carol's favorite is this white doe Genevieve.  She won 1 BOB out of the 3 shows at Antioch.  The two littermate sisters are neck to neck in many shows in the past and we suspect that will be the case in the future shows.
