Meet KP's Treasure

We are so excited to welcome this little doe into our tort program! She was purchased from Karleigh Friesen(by my lovely husband as my Birthday gift!) and the original breeder was Kathy Pelton so a big thanks to both those ladies for this lovely doe!

Treasure is a year and a half old and will be a great asset to our program with her type. She is a double BIS winner, RIS winner and has four BOB wins in her one time out of showing. We just need to get her registered then can send in for her grand champion papers. We can't say thanks enough for this gorgeous little gal!

Our current litters are doing well and growing cuter everyday! Their eyes just opened and they have been venturing out of the nest boxes for the first time.

New Arrivals!

Our does have finally kindled and here are the results! Please note that we are sold out and will be until these guys are available early-mid October.


SLR's AnnaPrimRose was bred to SLR's Aiden and had 4 kits - 2 black orange harlequins, 1 buck and 1 doe & two tort does(1 is a peanut). She is also a foster mom to one from Macey.

SLR's Olivia was bred to Campo's Fire N' Ice and had 6 kits - 1 black orange tri buck, 1 black orange harli doe, 1 orange doe, 1 chestnut buck and 2 broken chestnut does one of which was DOA.

SLR's Saffir was bred to SLR's Aiden and had 2 kits - both black orange tris and both were DOA

SLR's Macey was bred to SLR's Aiden and had 3 kits - 1 tort doe that is fostered to Anna and 2 DOA blacks

Cutie Patootie T'fer Tigger was bred to SLR's DJ and had 4 kits - 1 black orange harli, 1 broken orange and 2 oranges all of which are peanuts.

Whoever said breeding rabbits is easy hasn't had breedings like these! As Hollands are a dwarf breed they have one normal gene and one dwarf gene which makes them little. When you breed two of these kind of Hollands together you end up with 25% normal(big Hollands) 50% dwarf Hollands and 25% peanuts(they got a dwarf gene from each parent which is a fatal combination). In all my years of raising rabbits I have never had a litter that was ALL peanuts like Tiggers is! The good news is that we have 9 fat happy healthy babies to grow up!
We'll update this as they grow and become available to their new homes.
