Welcome to our Rabbitry and Caviary

I need help! but I don't know if it is stupid for me to ask...
We feel that education is the key to success in just about every aspect of life. If you don't see what you are looking for....please feel free to email us and if I don't know the answer....we will learn together what the answer is.

* The only stupid question is the one that you didn't ask. *

We will not make light of your questions as all questions deserve an answer. I would rather you ask the question than to see your animal die because you didn't have the answer.

We are very proud of our boys, Justin and Jonathan
Justin and Jonathan both not only show their rabbits, but they also like to show off what they know about them.

Justin started doing Royalty on the state level in California when he was just barely 5 years old. He won his first State Rabbit Lord title in 1996. He went on to doing that 3 yrs in a row. He also, in 1998 won ARBA Rabbit Lord.

We moved from Calif. to Arkansas and he had to put competing on hold for a couple of years. He did compete for Rabbit Management though in 2001 in which he won District Winner for 11-25 holes.

In 2002, we planned on going to convention and so Justin filled out all of his applications and competed in every area that he could. Justin came home from convention in Peoria winning in several areas. Justin won District 5 Cavy Management and 3rd Runner-up National Cavy Management. He was also on the Missouri State Judging team in which placed 3rd Runner-up as a Team and he also placed 3rd Runner-up for Individual judging. Justin was most pleased though when they announced that he had won ARBA Prince 2002-2003. This was quite a trip for him. Justin also won Missouri State Prince for 2003.

Jonathan also filled out all of his applications in which he won District Rabbit Management for up to 10 holes. Jon wasn't able to compete in Royalty this year on the National level but he did on the state level where he has won Missouri State Lord for the second year running.

Jon also had his first time BOB win at convention. Jon won Best of Breed in Peoria with his 6/8 Aby Roan sow that is from his own breedings.

Well as you can see, we have every reason to be proud of these 2 boys.


Meet the boys
