Show wins, new litters and available bunnies!

We’ve just gotten back from the EARS show in Wetaskiwin on Feb 16/17. SLR’s Annie Oakley took 4/4 Best of Breed wins and went on to be awarded two RIS wins! We just need to get this little gal registered and then send in for her GC papers as she now has 7 senior legs from two show weekends.



We have also had a few litters born here this last month and I’ll list them below.
SLR’s Sundance Kidd x GC SLR’s Summer Breeze has one broken tort buck and one orange(possibly a fox) doe.
Reg. SLR’s Wyatt Earp x GC SLR’s Annie Oakley has one black and orange harlequin buck
GC Clear Sky’s Marley x GC KP’s Treasure has one tort buck and one tort doe
SLR’s Fergus x SLR’s Blake has two black otter bucks and one black/orange harlequin buck
SLR’s Fergus x SLR’s Honeybee has one black/orange harlequin doe

We also have nine more does due in the first two weeks of March so will post those when babies are born.

We are going to let Fergus go as he is a confirmed otter based harli which we are trying to breed out. He’s got two harli kits in the box now and we might hold one of those back depending on type and test breed it to see if it’s also otter based. Eventually we’ll get all self based tris and reintroduce the agouti gene to get back to correctly colored tris. We have bred GC Campo’s Fire N’ Ice to two broken black does here so are crossing our fingers for a chestnut or agouti based orange. Any otters from these litters will be available.


Available bunnies;


SLR's Fergus a black and orange harlequin buck born in Dec 2017(he's just over a year old) out of Registered SLR's Oreo(brk blk) and SLR's Lonesome dove(blk/org harli). Fergus is an ataB-C-D-ej(e?) harli buck that we held back as he has beautiful bright pretty clean orange so were hoping he might be an agouti based harli however he is not. He's available to a pet or breeding home. This is a buck to add color to your program but not type. He has a poor crown so his ears are above vertical, he is a decently short buck but has a lower slightly longer shoulder and could use more overall fullness and width. Decent hindquarter, could use better bone being a senior buck. $40 for a pet or $60 for brood

SLR's Tort buck born in September 2018 out of Reg. SLR's Oreo(brk blk) and SLR's Torlee(blk/org harli). This guy would be a good addition to someone's program as a breeding buck however he may "carry" the harli gene(he might have a bit of black that actually makes him a torted harlequin instead of a tort, that isn't really visible to the eye) so would do best in a tri/harlequin program. He has a good shoulder, could use more fullness to his midsection and hindquarter, is a fairly short buck, could use better bone, decent head for a younger buck and a poor crown(ears are above vertical). I debated keeping this guy back to use in the tri program however I don't want to keep back a tort buck that is only used in our tri program as we have better tort bucks. $40 for pet or $70 for brood. 

SLR's black otter bucks out of SLR's Fergus(blk/org harli) and SLR's blake(black) born mid January 2019. We don't keep any otters back so these guys will both be available once they are weaned. Unsure of quality at this point but are looking like they could be decent bucks. May carry the harlequin gene. $60 as pets or price dependent on quality once they are old enough to evaluate.

Please note that we are getting close to calving season here on the ranch and our response time significantly slows down during that time.
