New babies have arrived!

We're excited to announce the arrival of some new little ones here! There are a few beautifully marked tris and harlis and a few other tort colors. There were four litters born in the past two days, two litters were DOA except for one baby now fostered to a chesnut doe with five of her own.

This means some of these little cuties will be available in about eight weeks.

Photos will follow when there's a chance to get down to Calgary!

A cute little Blue Fawn Harli Buck


Isn't this guy a cutie! He's out of Reg SLR's Starburst a very clean tri buck and SLR's Samara a harli doe. He's got cute color and pretty decent type. He was a spring baby so is just starting to grow into himself and come out of those uglies. He is brood quality and looking for a brood or a pet home, $40 for a pet or $80 for a brood buck.

Some of the rabbits bred at SLR - Past & Present

Here's a few of the bunnies that did call or do call SLR home.


 GC SLR's Tritan, out of one of my favorite bucks and GC SLR's Randall. Currently the number 6th Top Lop in the HLRSC.
 Reg. SLR's Sebastian. He goes back to an all time favourite buck GC SLR's Max, a RIS winning buck under jusge Allan Ormond back in 2004. Almost all of our does here that are lookers go back to Max.
 SLR's Chambler our current tri herd buck with gorgeous color. He does need a slightly higher head mount but is making some very nice babies.
 SLR's OJ a lightly marked harli doe who's a brood doe here and has some cute tri babies.

 This bunny is out of two beautiful animals, GC Mt. View's Thor and GC SLR's Sakari our first GC tri color. We don't use magpies in our program so this gal is living as a pet near Grande Prairie Ab.
 This is one of two sibling tort does out of GC SLR's Tritan. One doe is living in Dawson BC and the other near Hythe Ab.
A very cute little harli doe who is living as a pet in Calgary.


Those are some of the photos of what we have or have had in the past. The photos are very limited as a lot of them were lost in the website transition.
That's all for today but will post a cute little blue/fawn harli buck for sale tomorrow.

About us & our history

We have been breeding and showing Holland Lops since 2000 and have had the tri color variety since 2003. Almost all of the tort stock we use and keep is granded proving their worth on the show tables before they're put into production. Our tri progam rabbits have achieved BOV, BOSV, BOB, BOSB and RIS wins and in our tort program all of the above plus the honor of BIS. We pride ourselves in having beautiful show animals with great personalities that are a joy to handle. All of the rabbits that we show on the tables have been bred right here at SLR.

Although we're certainaly not new to the show and breeding world, our membership with the HLRSC is. We've currently got the number 6th Top Lop GC SLR's Tritan who we are quite honored to have! We sit in most of the top standings within the sweepstakes and will post the final results at the end of the year.

Meet the folks who run SLR. . .

My name is Shannon Moore and I work as an Registered Animal Health Technologist for fun and have a special passion for both horses and rabbits. I'm engaged to a wonderful guy named Robin Fletcher who lives up near Beaverlodge Ab. My parents are Sylvia and Bill Moore and they both do a wonderful job of caring for the rabbits down in Calgary. I'll come down and do the breedings, mark them down and mom will look after the baby part as dad is doing the chores and cleaning.  This is the reason why we have our one program in two locations as both mom and I have developed a strong passion for these cute little bunnies.

Aside from the fun of showing are the friends we have made along the way. Although the names are a little too numerous to count we adore and love all of the dear friends that we share our bunny lives with!

Well that's a bit of our brag book, a small look in on how & who runs SLR and a little about our program. I'll hopefully get to posting more of who's here especially some of the cute little tri babies who are eye catchers even at such a young age! Stay tuned to find out more of what's going on, we'll try and post atleast a few times a week!
