SLR's Dexter

This little cutie is the last buck to post out of our oldest upcoming litter. We're going to keep him back and show him this year to see how he does. He is a little guy right now so has some serious growing up to do before he'll compete with the big boys! He is on the light & long side for his bone but his overall type is good paired with a cute little apple head.

The Black & Orange Harlequin JR bucks!

Here are photos of the two harlequin bucks in the litter. Both are fairly similar type wise and both I'm sure will mature to that 3.5 - 4lb mark. The first buck on here has nice clean bright orange and the second one is not as bright and clean color wise. Both are pretty upright bucks with good crowns and pretty little heads for their age.

Four down and just the last tri buck to post photos of! 




An available buck

This magpie buck is a super sweet guy looking for a great home! His attitude is SO laid back and friendly that he would make a great pet or brood buck. He'll mature around the 4lb mark and he's a little bit of a longer buck but does have a great shoulder on him. We don't breed magpies into our tri program as they are an unshowable color and we don't want to have the chin gene in our backgrounds so that makes this guy available!


One of the JR bucks at SLR

Here's one of the junior bucks that are upcoming here at SLR. It's perfect lighting today to be out and taking some photos however the wind is being not so nice to these boys with already moulting coats! So you'll have to pardon the blowing coats in both ways = )

Here's the broken black buck that Mom's laid claim to - we haven't had a broken black born here in many years which is Mom's favorite color. We'll post his name and some photos of him when he's older at a later date!


We are still in the process of getting photos of the other little dudes!

New spots at SLR!

We've had a new litter born on June 11/14 out of SLR's Chambler and an un named broken orange doe who is a daugher of Aiden. She had seven kits with two harlequins being DOA, one beautifully marked tri, three charlie tris and one charlie orange(?). We have so many solid does right now that I was hoping to get a charlie tri buck to keep back as a brood buck for some of these harli gals.

SLR's AnnaprimRose also had a litter about 12 hours before her sister however there was one peanut and two that were DOA. She'll be bred back to thumper for another try.

We're also working on posting photos of the last litter out of this broken orange doe and we should have those up by tomorrow = )

Here's the parents of the litter of five.

This is SLR's Chambler who goes back to SLR's Tonto and an outcross tri doe. I just adore this little buck and his now gret BIG head! This Jr photo doesn't do much for him now!

Obviously a very Jr photo of the mom!

Spring plans

We are down in Calgary visiting for the week and packing up most of the bunnies to take back up north for the "breeding months" We have also sexed our litter out of Thumper and the broken orange doe, there is a magpie buck, two black orange harli bucks, one broken black buck, and two black does. Most of the boys will be available once they get weaned and are eating solids well which will be another month yet. They will be heading back with us so will be available close to Grande Prairie and not Calgary. There will be nothing available for sale in the Calgary area until at least fall/early winter.

We also sent one doe with mom to the SARBA Chestermere show this past weekend. SLR's AnnaPrimRose placed 1st/8 and took a BOSV win in the solid senior doe class. She took two other 2/8 placings and sadly has a broken toe which DQ'd her from the fourth table. We still may send her out to a show or two to see if she can get those other two legs for GC papers but if not she'll make a fantastic brood doe. Our plans are to breed her this summer to SLR's Thumper our black buck with 2 GC legs. Anyways I will post some photos of the babies when they get older as they are in that ugly stage so it's a bad time to take photos! Hope all is well with everyone!

SLR's Zoro

Meet SLR's Zoro a just turned SR buck here who is out of SLR's Aiden, sire of Aiden is GC SLR's Tritan who was 9th Top Lop in 2010. This little guy was the pick of the litter born in fall and has really grown up nicely. He's super smooth with a beautiful head and bone to match.

Watch for some babies out of this guy in the summer!
