| ur rabbit journey began in the fall of 1998. As most, our daughter Whitney wanted a bunny. We researched our options at the local county fair. We kept going back to the Netherland Dwarf. Next of course came 4-H, fitting and showing, by now both kids were involved, Dustin with cavies (guinea pigs) and Whitney with her beloved dwarfs. They were quite successful and by 2001 Dustin had won the title of Washington State Cavy King and Whitney won Washington State Duchess, and they both won many of the other categories such as management, breed ID, judging not to mention all of the show wins they had accumulated along the way, Best of Breeds, Best in Shows, and many Fitting and Showing wins. 2001 was also the first year that we attended the ARBA Convention, WOW. The kids also competed in royalty, judging, management and even entered and won the T-shirt design contest. Whitney's little opal dwarf doe Peek At Chu's Puka won Best Opposite of Group 3 & Best Junior of Group. We missed the Netherland Dwarf Breed Banquet to our disappointment but the kids had a great time at the royalty banquet and both walked out with armfuls of plackets from all the awards that they had won, it was great and to top it off Joy Bramhall's REW Netherland Dwarf doe won BEST IN SHOW! It couldn't have been more perfect,(well maybe if the transmission hadn't gone out in the our old Astro van down in San Diego costing us $2000.00, had that happened at home we would have put a wrecking yard transmission in for ¼ the cost), that probably would have made it a little better! Time goes by and kids grow up but as for me, I was hooked on netherland dwarfs. When Whitney moved on with college plans I took over her herd of Dwarfs which I was previously just a bystander, helping feed, clean cages, etc., the normal mom things. So I had to work a little harder and learn a little more (and will continue to each day), to show in open and earn a place among our wonderful dwarf breeders in the Pacific Northwest, they raise the bar of competition very high. And now, after 2 ARBA conventions behind me with my travel companion Deanna Elkins 2006 & 2007, and one Dwarf National Champion show in Ventura California 2007 I can say my "obsession with perfection" is even stronger. My determination to breed the most ideally typed netherland as per the ARBA Standard of Perfection and my desire to provide the most clean and efficient environment are paramount. Hopefully you will have a Peek At Chu bunny in your barn someday to add to your show stock, breeding stock or just a loving companion. Enjoy my website, Vicki P.S. More coming soon, it's a little unorganized now,I just had to share a little of my world of dwarfs with ya . I would also like to add a great big "THANK YOU" to my"informal partners" Trey King and Cesar Flores (C & T Rabbitry) http://www.ctrabbitry.net/ They have helped me obtain some excellent breeding stock as I have shared my stock with them too. They have also taught me how important best friends are. |
