Report 

by 

Sue Borden 

The trip to Greenville, 

Ohio for our National 

New Zealand show this year 

was bittersweet. 

Our rabbit family has lost 

another important part of our history with the 

passing of Harry Rice. Harry lived and breathed 

rabbits and supported this breed always. The 

National in Greenville, Ohio this year was 

dedicated to Harry and Deskie Rice and although 

Harry left us right before the show we all felt he 

was there with us in spirit. 

I think that everyone will agree that it was a 

great show. I know that Paul Grundtish and David 

Mangione will especially agree that this was a 

great national SHOW! I congratulate them on 

BOB and BOS respectively. There was, as usual, 

the quality and also the quantity of rabbits 

making this the show to attend. All the winners 

will be listed in full here in the newsletter and 

on our website. The Ohio New Zealand club is 

one of the more experienced of our clubs and 

as usual they did not disappoint at this National. 

Thanks to Janellen Swartz and Charlie Crabtree 

and all the members of that club for a job well 

done. 

The Federation’s officers met Friday evening to 

do the club’s business and those minutes will be 

printed elsewhere for your review. The Texas New 

Zealand club , represented by Mark Manglberger, 

presented a very nice bid to host the 2012 New 

Zealand National show in Ft. Worth. A vote was 

taken and your board officially awarded the bid 

to Ft. Worth for 2012. More information will be 

coming in the near future. 

Don’t forget that the newly formed Pennsylvania 

New Zealand club will be hosting our 2011 show 

in Leesport, Pa. There will be more information 

on that show on both the website and the Times. 

Our National shows each spring are a great place 

to showcase the best of our breed. It is also a 

good time to renew old friendships and make 

some new ones. If you have never attended our 

spring show come join us next year for a good 

time. 

You will notice in our minutes that we had 

to call a special open membership meeting at 

this National. The purpose of this meeting was 

to obtain the membership vote on updating our 

New Zealand Times 2 

sweepstakes to include both the meat pen and 

broken points. I thank the Ohio club for granting 

us the time to take care of that business. Thank 

you also to Tony Bell , chair of our Constitution 

and By-laws committee , for getting that update 

ready for us to vote on. 

A few more thanks to mention…. Thanks to 

Tony Fortney for putting together the highly 

successful rabbit auction. Our auction wouldn’t 

be successful without the quality of donated 

animals and the motivated buyers that support 

your club with their bidding. Thanks to Lisa 

Jennings for coming up with the cute new fun 

t-shirts . The profit on these shirts will benefit 

the club and I’m sure if you missed getting one 

from Lisa in Greenville just contact her and she 

will make sure you get one or even ten. They 

would be great for the whole family. Thanks 

Charlie for the camera work, we appreciate 

your photos and your time. 

Thanks, one more time, to Dave Mangione 

for all the work you did to get the Broken New 

Zealand accepted. I think that most would 

agree the brokens have added a new interest in 

New Zealands. The Broken group’s first official 

national showing was a great success. The classes 

had great quality and dept. 

A very special congratulations to dear friends 

Janellen and Bob Swartz on receiving the AFNZRB 

Outstanding Member(s) award for 2010. I think 

we surprised them. Janellen has served this 

Federation on many levels and committees, but 

her main job has been secretary of the Ohio New 

Zealand club , giving us many very successful 

National New Zealand shows. Bob has served 

this club as director, committee chair and vice 

president. Thank you both for your hard work 

and dedication to the New Zealand breed , it is 

appreciated by all. 

Congratulations also to Jim Bounakes from 

MA. He was named to the Federation’s Hall of 

Fame for 2010. Jim has served as director of the 

Federation and chaired committees over the 

past years. 

Did you know that Jim has won over 200 BIS’s 

with his New Zealands in his rabbit career? 

Congratulations Jim on an honor well deserved. 

I hope you all have made your plans for the 

convention in Minneapolis this November. I am 

planning to see you there. 

Remember if you have any questions or 

thoughts on how to make this club a better one 

for all, just contact me .

The votes are in 

and the winners 

are…………….. The results 

of our National show held 

in Greenville, Ohio can be 

found in the edition of the Times as well as our 

National New Zealand web site. Congratulations 

to all the winners and a special thank you to all 

the exhibitors who attended the show. 

I submitted my first New Zealand Specialty 

Club Report for the Domestic Rabbit magazine. 

I took a different approach for our report and 

went beyond summarizing major events in the 

New Zealand Breed. I am and will submit some 

timely tips called “Seasonal Tips for the Rabbitry 

101”. Hopefully, this will add some substance to 

our club report. Please send ideas, information, 

club reports etc. that I can use for this report as 

your input as a member of our national club is 

important. 

Tony Fortney is now giving leadership to the 

New Zealand Auction held at our national and 

convention shows. Tony did a great job organizing 

this very important fund raising event for our 

club in Greenville. I believe this event raised 

over $1000 for our club. Special thanks also go 

out to the consignors and buyers who make this 

fund raiser a success. You see this is just another 

example of paying forward. Our club success is 

contingent upon individual members working as 

a team for a common goal. 

My article in this edition of the Times addresses 

clean air in the rabbitry. Congratulations again to 

the winners at the 2010 New Zealand Nationals 

and a huge thank you to the Ohio New Zealand 

Club for hosting this major event.

Report 

by 

John Neff 

It’s sad to start another 

report & have to talk 

about the loss of another one 

of our great members, Harry 

Rice… 

Harry was a long time member, past Secretary- 

Treasurer, Judge and a Hall of Fame member in 

both the Federation and ARBA. Harry was the 

ultimate promoter of the New Zealand Rabbit. 

Needless to say, we can never replace these 

legends and I feel so fortunate to have know 

these great men. Rest in Peace, Harry… 

“Wow” another great National in Ohio. Thankyou 

to all of the members who helped make this 

a National to remember. Congrats to all of the 

winners, you will find a complete Show Report 

elsewhere in this edition & on the website. 

Thank-you to Tony Fortney and generous 

members who donated & purchased rabbits at 

our auction. Again, there is a complete report 

elsewhere in the Times. 

And, a big thank-you to Lisa Jennings. Lisa had 

some T-shirts made up to sell at the National. 

Lisa sent me a check for $220.00 of clear profit 

to the Federation.. 

We had a good Board Meeting. You will find the 

minutes also printed in this issue. 

Director Mark Manglberger presented an 

outstanding bid for the 2012 New Zealand 

National to be held in Ft. Worth, TX. The BOD 

approved this bid, watch for more details in 

future issues of the Times & on the website. 

Thank-you Texas, I for one, look forward to 

another National in the Lone Star State. 

Next up of course will be the ARBA Convention 

in MN. Please let President Borden how you may 

be able to help. We can always use help in the 

Booth. Just don’t stop by for a visit, stop by & 

help. Don’t forget the raffle… 

In talking with Rick Shipe & Bruce Himmelberger 

it sounds like the PA crew is working hard on the 

2011 National. It will be good to get home to PA 

and of course see all of our NZ Friends. 

Speaking of the Times & the website, Dick 

Gehr & Norma Hart continue to do a great job. If 

you see either one of them at any shows, please 

let them know how much you appreciate their 

efforts. I have received quite a few comments or 

emails about the work that they do and I always 

try to pass it along to Dick & Norma. 

A “BIG” thank-you from the Federation… 

Show Sanctions… We can not issue NZ Sanction 

without an ARBA Sanction number. We have 

received quite a few Sanction requests without 

this, sorry we need the ARBA number. Also, it 

is not our job to contact the ARBA Office for 

this information. Please provide it when the NZ 

Sanction is requested. 

Well, time to bring this to a close. It was great 

seeing many of you in Ohio and I look forward 

to our visit in MN. Take care, and keep enjoying 

this great rabbit that has brought us so many 

friends….

Hi New Zealand 

Breeders 

My thanks to all the 

people that helped make 

the New Zealand Spring Nationals a big success. 

I know it takes many thankless hours to set up 

and take down a show room. Thanks Jane for 

taking care of the secretarial work. There was 

a nice turn out of New Zealands at the show. 

Congratulations to the winners. This was my 

first trip to Greenville. What a nice old farming 

community. Denise and I had some extra time to 

drive around to see the area. We were impressed 

with the cleanliness of the farms. Being a farm 

person it is always interesting to see other area 

farms. 

We have had some good showings of New 

Zealands in Washington. By late June at our 

state convention I am looking forward to a large 

showing of all four varieties. We are starting to 

see more reds and brokens being shown. I am 

anxiously waiting for my young litters to grow to 

see what I may have to show this fall. 

See you in Minneapolis.

I hope this finds everyone 

well and healthy. As spring 

comes to an end and summer 

begins it is starting with a 

heat wave for us. We have had 3 days of 90 or near 

90 and humid. Can do without that this early. 

I hope that everyone has all the nest boxes full. 

We had good luck this round. I bred 30 does and 

they all have had litters except for 1 miss and 

2 lost the litter. They were all good size litter 

from 3-11 moved some around to even things out. 

They have been keeping me busy putting in nest 

boxes. 

We have to start planning for MN in November, it 

should be a good show. Sue is getting her litters 

for the presentation of the Blues hope it goes 

better this time. 

I wanted to say a few words about Harry Rice. 

I didn’t know him as well as some of the other 

breeders but in his hey day he had some good 

rabbits and was always a good showman and 

sportsman. I have seen Harry start a bid on a 

rabbit on the auction just to get it started and 

end up with it just to help out the club. 

We bought a jr buck from him in Greenville 

several years back and that was the best meat pen 

producing buck I have ever had. 

We picked out the buck before the show and it 

ended up winning the Jr Buck class. He told Sue 

that she should work on getting a judges license. 

We will sure miss Harry and all his stories. 

Well I better get this closed up so that Sue 

can type it up and send it to Dick. Hope to see 

everyone in MN.

ongratulations to 

Cthe C winners and to 

all those who came close 

at the recently concluded 

National New Zealand Show 

in Greenville, OH. Special 

mention goes to Paul Grundtisch and Dave 

Mangione for winning BOB and BOS, respectively. 

Recognition is also warranted for those who won 

BOV: Grundtisch on whites, Cooper/Esterline on 

blacks, Sara and David Klindt on reds and Dave 

Mangione on the brokens. 

We really missed being at the show and seeing 

everyone. 

Linda had knee replacement surgery on April 

26 th . She is undergoing what appears to be a 

successful yet painful rehabilitation. The doctor 

says that it will take about a year for her to get 

back to normal. At some point in the future, she 

will also need to have the other knee replaced. 

Wanted to let all of you know that our friend 

Don Connell has been in the hospital with 

kidney problems. We pray that he has a speedy 

recovery. 

It has been a cold /wet year in northern 

California. After enduring three years of drought, 

we have had more than 50 inches of rain here at 

the house. It has also been unusually cold for 

so late in the year. We had a good frost on May 

20 th . I was finally able to plant our garden on 

May 23 rd . There will be no Early Girl tomatoes by 

the 4 th of July this year. 

It was with great sadness that we heard of the 

passing of Harry Rice. He was, without question, 

the major icon of the New Zealand world, during 

our time. Harry was a great storyteller. He 

served as a mentor to many breeders and judges. 

Probably more than any other person, Harry 

played an important role in the development the 

New Zealand club and the New Zealand rabbit. 

He was also very influential in the ARBA. 

I remember, as if it were yesterday, attending 

my first ARBA convention in Tucson, AZ in 1979. 

Both Harry Rice and Fibber McGeehee judged 

the New Zealands. It was the experience of 

a lifetime and got me hooked on going to the 

convention. It represents the end of an era now 

that these two prominent figures have left us. 

Our rabbits have been bred for the convention. 


With good health and weather permitting, we 

hope to see many of you this fall in Minnesota.

llo from Kentucky. 

H As I was heading 

toward Ohio for the NZ 

Nationals this past April it was a sad feeling 

knowing that my good friend Harry Rice would 

not be there with us. I always enjoyed going to 

shows in Ohio in the past just to see Harry. We 

traded rabbits for many years at every National. 

I would get a buck from him and he would get a 

doe from me. His KO strain of New Zealands were 

some of the hardest feeling rabbits that I’ve ever 

put my hands on. He said it was from the corn he 

fed them and I can still see him throwing them 

ears of corn in their cages. He was one of the 

biggest promoters of rabbits especially the New 

Zealand that we’ve ever had and our great club 

we have today is because of Harry and people 

like him. When I see a NZ rabbit I think of Harry 

Rice. I miss you my friend. 

What a great National we had. Over 900 rabbits 

and 40 to 50 exhibitors. That Ohio bunch knows 

how to put on a show. There was some really nice 

broken classes for there first National showing. 

The quality of all varieties was unbeleiveable. 

Most classes from 10th place down could of been 

picked first by the flip of a coin.The show moved 

on really quick.With everybody helping out from 

bringing rabbits to the judges table and taking 

them back.Speaking for all the guys a BIG THANK 

YOU to all the women who worked at the tables 

sorting, placing and writing comments for each 

rabbit.You are why the show runs so smoothly. 

THANKS again I would like to congratulate all 

the class winners open and youth. Hats off to 

Paul & Dave BOB &BOS open and Hannah Means 

BOB & BOS youth Also thanks to everybody who 

donated a rabbit to the auction and everybody 

who won the bid on them. It’s good for the club. 

As Harry’s articles would say RAMBLING WITH 

RICE I guess I’ve rambled enough myself. Hope 

to see everybody real soon. 

Tony

O 

.hio had another 

Ogreat show. We 

enjoyed it very much. 

Brokens had a very good 

showing. 

Harry Rice, nice man. He 

will be missed. He liked judging youth and did a 

good job too, 

I hope everyone has their plans made for the 

fall show in Minnesota. Here we come! 

Hopefully we will have some to pick from, nest 

boxes are full. 

The barn is done and now we are working on 

moving Dad’s rabbits over. 

30 X 100 is a big barn to fill. Ha ha. Till next 

time from Mo.

e last year has been 

Tan T eye opener for all 

of us. Some greats in the 

rabbit world have passed 

on. Among them was Harry 

Rice. I wish that I had had to 

opportunity to get to know him personally. Even 

though I did not, his reputation preceded him. 

Those who knew him spoke well of him with his 

wisdom, competitive spirit, and genuine concern 

for the future of the rabbit industry. We should 

all take this as another lesson that reinforces 

in us the need to take hold of the ones who are 

experienced in our wonderful hobby and learn 

from all their experiences. From that knowledge 

we gain from them we should be willing to assist 

others and promote the rabbit industry. 

On a more cheerful note, it was great to 

see all the New Zealand exhibitors at the New 

Zealand Nationals in Greenville, Ohio. The show 

was fantastic and the banquet was really cool; 

you know what I am talking about if you were 

there. Texas is proud to say that they presented 

a bid at the board meeting at nationals for the 

2012 New Zealand National Show. The bid was 

approved and Texas will be hosting the 2012 

New Zealand Nationals in Fort Worth, Texas. We 

hope that everyone will gather their spirit of 

adventure and travel to Texas in April of 2012. 

Several other breeds will be sharing the venue 

and combining efforts to make this a fantastic 

experience for all involved. Remember, rolling 

downhill here is easy. You can worry about 

getting home later. 

We should all be making plans for the journey 

to convention in Minneapolis, MN this fall. This 

Texas boy is a little concerned about driving in 

the November weather up North; but, Adam 

tells me he will keep me informed. Our fellow 

exhibitors from the North are more reliable than 

the weather man. 

Texas has had a cool 

spring. Summer is well 

on its way. Keep those 

bunnies cool and ready 

for the fall. 

Until next time, 

Mark

ow, what a 

Wdifference W 

a week 

makes. The weather has gone 

from below average temps to 

today on May 24 94 degrees. With the humidity 

high also it made for a very uncomfortable day 

especially since we baled over 700 bales of hay 

today. Anyhow lets start off by talking about 

the spring national in Greenville Ohio. The 

numbers of New Zealand’s were very good and 

all the colors were very well represented. It was 

very exciting because this was the first national 

the Brokens showed as a approved variety. 

Congratulations to Dave Mangione for being the 

first winner ever with Brokens at the national. 

Sara and I were very excited to win the Jr. doe 

class with a Red Broken so the future is looking 

bright for the reds as well. Other winners were 

Paul Grundtisch with BOB with a white 6-8 buck, 

Dave Mangione with BOS, Cooper & Esterline 

with the best black and Sara and I with the Best 

Red. For a complete list of all the open and 

youth winners look for the listings in the back 

of the magazine. Other than the banquet being 

a little chilly the whole weekend went very 

well and the Ohio people did a very good job 

of running the show as usual. I would also like 

to congratulate Mark Manglberger and the Texas 

club for getting the 2012 spring nationals in Ft. 

Worth Texas. Mark and his wife did a very good 

job of putting the flyer together telling about 

all the things to do in Ft. Worth. Having been 

to Ft. Worth before I am looking very forward 

to going back and also excited because the Cal 

nationals along with several others are going to 

be there also. 

It should also be mentioned that the New 

Zealand club has just recently lost one of its 

longtime members with Harry Rice passing away. 

While I didn’t know Harry personally, I always 

saw him around at all the nationals and New 

Zealand club meetings for as long as I’ve raised 

New Zealands. He will be greatly missed since 

he has been a part in so many ways with the club 

providing leadership and advice for decades. 

The last thing I would like to mention is I 

would like to thank everybody for giving me a 

opportunity to be a director in this club. I have 

really enjoyed meeting all of you from all over 

the country. I think the national shows are a 

great thing because so many people show up 

who all have the same interest in showing high 

quality New Zealand rabbits. Good luck with 

your rabbits this summer and I would appreciate 

your vote in being able to continue as your 

director.

s has been a good 

T ow season. We 

have had cooler weather 

that usual for the gulf coast 

which has helped the rabbits 

to eat better and hold their 

fur. The New Zealand’s have done well in the 

shows in this part of the country. At the Harris 

County double show, NZ’s took best in show 3 out 

of 4 shows. In the Houston Livestock show and 

Rodeo (HLSR) meat pen competition, this is the 

second year in a row that we have done better 

than the Cals our biggest meat pen competitor. 

NZ’s took 6 of the 10 top pens and there was only 

15 pens of NZ’s out of the 100 plus pens entered. 

In the HLSR open show, the NZ’s took BIS. At the 

Texas state show the BOB was a broken doe and 

she was 2nd runner up. So let’s keep it going 

across the US. 

It was good to see everyone in Greenville! 

A good time, with good people. My thanks to 

the Ohio club for putting on a good show and 

making us feel at home. That was the first time 

in Greenville and I like the area. It reminds me 

a lot of the area I grew up, New Philadelphia, 

PA. I know a lot of people said it was cold on 

Sunday morning, but I enjoyed the frost on the 

grass that morning. So did my bride Lori, as she 

walked her dog, Gizmo, before we took off for 

home. 

Last but not least, I want to thank Lisa for 

getting the neat NZ T-shirts made up for that 

show. Take care and we hope to see you in 

Minnesota.

Harry Rice was one of a kind!. 


by 

David Cardinal, WI 

ust cant believe we 

Ihave I lost yet another 

great rabbit breeder and 

Friend. 

Harry was the First New Zealand Rabbit 

Breeder that kept me on the track raising New 

Zealands, When I met Harry several years ago 

around 1976. I had New Zealands and Rex, He 

said David you only need one breed and it is not 

Rex, So he turned me to raise only New Zealands 

for a long time. 

Harry always believed in taking the time to 

teach anyone about the New Zealands, that 

wanted to learn, or if they didn’t he made them 

listen to his speech’s all the time. He always had 

a way to talk in circles to keep your attention 

to him. 

When Harry was Secretary of The New 

Zealand Federation, he kept the club together, 

he handled his job and other jobs and had no 

problems balancing the club. He always worked 

hard to keep the club going smoothly. 

One time around 1980 at the ARBA Convention 

in New York, I went up to Harry and said I need 

a good strong Buck, He said I have the one you 

need, and I bought that rabbit for $25.00. 

The next day when the Judging was going on 

the buck placed second Junior buck, I was so 

proud that I had such a great rabbit from Harry. 

So on the close of the convention after work I 

went to the show grounds to pick up the rabbit, 

most of the rabbits and the exhibitors were 

gone. As I went to get my buck out of his cage, 

he looked different and the tattoo was different, 

So I took the rabbit home. 

When I got home I called Harry and asked what 

happened to my buck. He said that he replaced 

it with a better one. I didn’t question him I just 

said OK. About a Month latter I moved back to 

Florida. Then in the spring I showed that Buck 

in North Carolina after the National Rex show. 

He was picked Best in Show, Which was great. 

Then few months after that I showed him again 

in Florida and Fibber judged and picked him for 

Best of Breed and told me that was a great buck. 

Then later that day Fibber and Harry picked best 

in Show and picked that Buck. Harry asked me 

were did I get a Fine buck like that, I said Harry I 

picked him from you from the ARBA Convention. 

Harry looked in the ear and said, I guess you 

got the better Rabbit. Then I found out later 

on that the rabbit was not raised by Harry, and 

was swapped for the first Buck that I picked out 

at the convention. Harry was always swapping 

rabbits for rabbits, even if that rabbit wasn’t 

raised by Harry, it did not matter as it was his 

complete line of breeding on the pedigree. 

I remember one time at the National all New 

Zealand show a few years ago, Harry had a 

nice doe that placed pretty high, I said Harry I 

would like to buy her. And over the years Harry 

sold mequite a few Rabbits pretty cheap and 

sometimes gave me rabbits. On this day Harry 

said David this is a nice doe and I would need 

from you $75.00. I thought that was still a pretty 

good price, so I took her home and bred her. Her 

young were very nice all eight of them. They 

were so good that I entered a buck and doe in 

the ARBA Convention held in Wisconsin that year 

in the intermediate class. 

As the convention came and Judging started 

my buck was first intermediate buck, and then 

the doe was third. That was pretty darn good. 

Harry came up and said what was the doe bred 

from? I told Harry that doe I got from you in the 

spring. Harry said he wanted to buy that doe 

that placed third. I said OK for $75.00 since that 

was what I paid for the mother. Harry said will 

you take $20.00 for her? I had this puzzled look. 

He said David the doe you got from me had eight 

babies and cost maybe $10,00 each to eat so 

that’s $80.00. so you are making $10.00 profit. 

I said What! 

I finally gave in, Just take the rabbit as a gift. 

As Harry was always there for me. 

Harry always had a great sense of humor. These 

are only two stories about Harry. If I had to 

mention more I would fill the entire Times, but 

as you see Harry was a very special person that 

will be missed dearly. Harry Rice’s wife Deskie is 

a wonderful person as she put up with Harry for 

many years and was always behind him. 

Writing letters about two great New Zealand 

Rabbit Breeders and Friends, Harry Rice and 

Fibber McGee has been very hard for me as they 

were more than great guys that helped keep me 

on this wonderful track of raising and Judging 


New Zealands. They were my mentors and close 

Friends, and they will be missed. 

I went to the National New Zealand show in 

Ohio with no rabbits, and had a great time. I 

checked out lots of New Zealands. The Brokens 

look like they are coming in strong. It was a 

great show and was smoothly run, like always 

for Ohio. Congrats to all the winners in the open 

and youth, There was a lot of outstanding New 

Zealands that went across the table, and the 

Judges had to work hard but they sure enjoy 

Judging them. 

New Zealands may not be the large number of 

rabbits at local shows, but the quaity is excellent 

and classes are deeper than most breeds, So, yes 

to some of you that question, are we the breed 

in the lead? We dont need numbers to have that. 

Our dedication is to this club, the National New 

Zealand Rabbit Breeders, and to raise and breed 

such outstanding rabbits that are closer to the 

standard than most other breeds. 

Take care see you all in the fall

As you may all know by 

now we lost another true 

pioneer to our New Zealand 

Breed, 

Harry Rice. He started 

many good breeders,and 

improved many breeders 

with all of his valued knowledge.I personally 

remember taking trips with my dad Curtis 

Himmelberger and Sam Gerardi to the K O 

RABBITRY. It was great to see and talk with Harry 

in Piketon. He will be sadly missed. 

On a brighter note, I want to compliment the 

OHIO CLUB on a very well run show. The cooping 

set up was excellent. as well as the judging 

being excellent. Congratulations to all of the 

winners and all who showed. The competition 

was very keen. PAUL GRUNDTISCH took BOB with 

an outstanding 6-8 white Buck and Best display 

with a tremendous string of whites 

DAVE MANGIONE took BOS with a very good Sr. 

Doe. Dave also had best broken. The brokens 

were very competitive! AL ESTERLINE had best 

black and SARA KLINDT had best red with a very 

nice Sr. Doe. 

It was good to see JIM BOUNAKES and LILLIAN 

ATWOOD back at a National. Jim has some very 

good whites in great condition. JIM BOUNAKES 

was also inducted TO THE HALL OF FAME.. well 

deserved. Congratulations to Jim. 

Congratulations also to the TEXAS CLUB on its 

bid for the 2012 . 

MARK MANGLEBERGER had a very well done 

presentation.

From the Editor 

Another issue of the Times is about to hit 

the press. With it goes another great 

loss to the Federation, and the entire rabbit 

industry. 

Harry Rice has left us to be with Fib, Oren, and 

a whole lot of other rabbit breeders, judges, and 

showmen. 

It is very rare that an icon such as Harry comes 

along, and simply having the opportunity to 

know him, work with him, talk with him, and 

be critiqued by him is indeed a very humbling 

experience. 

You rarely had to ask Harry where you stood 

with him, as he was a man that indeed would 

let you know. Although he may have seemed a 

bit crass or blunt, once you got to know Harry 

you were aware that under the hard skin was a 

heart of gold, and a man that truly loved rabbits, 

people, and life. 

I certainly did not know Harry the way that 

Chris Hayhow, Glen Carr, Bobby Byrne, and 

others did, but I did know Harry well enough to 

know he was a person that would leave a mark 

on the rabbit world forever. 

Harry was a true believer in Youth, and he 

helped many in his time. I suppose the most 

memorable time with Harry I had was judging 

a Youth show in Ohio with him in my very early 

years. He offered the “newbie” some advice by 

telling me that these kids are here because they 

think their rabbit is the best rabbit in the world. 

Don’t disappoint them by saying a bunch of bad 

things about their animals. 

I proceeded to go through the day trying my 

best to say great things about each rabbit. I 

watched Harry in between my classes once, 

and from my table I could see a black rabbit 

he was judging, that had a pretty good sized 

white spot on it. Harry picked up the rabbit and 

went over by a window, pulled a few hairs and 

looked at them, then brough the rabbit back to 

the judging table. He looked it over again, then 

went back over by the window again. Oddly, he 

did the same routine, pulling a few hairs and 

holding them up to the window, then throwing 

them down on the ground. After about 3 or 4 

times of doing this, Harry looked at the Youth 

exhibitor and said, “Gee, I thought your rabbit 

had a white spot, but there isn’t one.” 

Harry had a knack of doing the right thing at 

the right time or saying the right thing to bolster 

up someone that was down at the right time. 

He always seemed to use diplomacy and tact 

in a manner that made him look like the most 

knowledgeable man in the world, and I am not 

so sure that he wasn’t. 

Harry was.....Harry. There is no other way to 

put it. There has never been, nor will there ever 

be another like him. 

If we had a “Harry” come along every few 

years and grace our ranks, this hobby would be 

a much better experience for many. I know I will 

remember Harry fondly. My deepest sympathies 

to Deskie and Harry’s family. 

Can you picture a table with Harry, Fib, Oren, 

and a few others sitting around just shooting 

the breeze? I can just hear the stories they are 

telling. If I was a betting man, I think I would 

know who I would place my money on to tell the 

biggest and best “story” ! 

Bless you Harry, and Good Night.

Thanks Harry! 

rry Rice is the reason Paul and I have 

Hbeen H a part of and served this club. We 

have been both directors and President. Harry 

somehow talked Paul into running for president 

back in 1987. I have never figured how he did 

that. Paul had never been interested in the 

politics of the rabbit business, he just enjoyed 

raising the rabbit. Harry Rice, as most everyone 

found out once you knew him, could talk anyone 

into almost anything. If Harry thought someone 

would be beneficial to the Federation they would 

soon find themselves on the ballot for the next 

election. I remember the story back in the late 

80’s or early 90’s when there weren’t enough 

directors running for the spots open. Harry 

just picked some members out and then had a 

petition signed and then he let them know they 

were running. He always knew what he wanted 

for this club and although you might disagree 

with him, he was usually right. The first thing 

I did when I was approached about running for 

president was to call Harry to ask his opinion. 

There had never been a women president and I 

wasn’t sure the “ good old boys club” was ready 

for that. Harry not only gave me his blessing but 

said “it was time”. 

Harry and his dear wife Deskie served this club 

as secretary from 1979 thru 1990. Harry always 

gave Deskie the credit and told everyone he 

couldn’t have done it without her. They were 

partners and how lucky we were to have had 

them dedicate time to 

this Federation. 

So we thank you Harry 

for all you have done 

for this club. I hope you 

know how special you 

were to us. 

We will miss you. 

Dear Deskie, we send you our love and 

sympathy for your loss . 

You and Harry were a 

great team! 

“once in a lifetime” 

rry was a master breeder, promoter 

Hand H judge of the New Zealand breed. 

Harry was the Babe Ruth of New Zealands, hitting 

more home runs with his Knock out Strain of New 

Zealands which most of us can only imagine. 

Harry truly paid forward giving great leadership, 

time as well as developing superior genetics as 

he improved the breed that he loved. 

Harry was not a soft spoken man and you did 

not have to guess as to what was on his mind 

as Harry would eventually tell you if you stood 

around long enough. Harry had that unique 

character of believing and standing for what was 

right. He always took the time to help a young 

breeder and share his experiences and oh, let’s 

not forget all those stories he told whenever 

he had the opportunity. You see, Harry was in 

some ways like a preacher, spreading the word 

about New Zealands as he journeyed across the 

country from showroom to showroom. 

I remembered talking to Harry about my 

intention to develop a broken variety New 

Zealand. I could quickly tell that Harry was not 

very fond of the idea. His comment was, “Why 

do we need another variety when we already 

have three” but none the less Harry encouraged 

me to move forward but with one request, “Just 

make sure they are Good!” I gave Harry my word 

that anything less would be unacceptable. 

Harry Rice truly paid forward giving his time, 

talent, leadership and wisdom to the breed and 

organization he so dearly loved. 

I will miss Harry Rice, a once in a lifetime 

friend, breeder and promoter of the BREED IN 

THE LEAD – NEW ZEALANDS.

Farewell But Not Goodbye 

to My Friend – Harry Rice 

had the privilege of meeting Harry Rice 

Iaround I 1978 when he was in the Western 

part of North Carolina judging a rabbit show. 

That day began a life-long friendship with an 

honorable man who was dedicated to making a 

difference among rabbit breeders nationwide. 

Back in those days, the late 70’s and early 80’s, 

we were in Tipton, Indiana at a rabbit show. 

Harry was judging this show, as he did for the 

past 65 years or more and I bought a doe from 

him – a great doe. The doe I purchased became 

some of my foundation stock – producing award 

winning rabbits for years to come. 

Harry was more than just someone I knew as 

being an outstanding rabbit breeder. He was my 

friend - my personal friend, and he and Deskie 

were like family to me and Peggy. I have so 

many fond memories of all our times together 

over the past 30 plus years. We always planned 

trips to the Convention’s and many rabbit shows 

together and stayed at the same hotels. All the 

men would go to the shows and talk rabbits 

while the women went out to shop. There was 

a group of us that always got together to go out 

to eat. Harry always wanted to ride with Peggy 

when we went out to eat. I can hear him saying 

now, “I don’t know where you all are going, but 

I’m going wherever Peggy is going because I am 

riding with her and Robert.” Now he liked to go 

out to eat and enjoy a good meal, but he had 

no time for standing in a line and 

waiting to get in a restaurant. 

For the past 20 or so years, a 

group of us made a yearly trek 

to Gatlinburg, Tennessee the 

weekend after Thanksgiving. 

Harry would always call in 

September and say, “you better 

be getting ready, it is about time 

to go to Gatlinburg”. He loved 

to sit in the rocking chairs, watch 

the traffic go by, watch people 

and talk rabbits. We often went 

over to visit another good friend, 

Bill Smith, who lived close to 

Gatlinburg. Of course, as always, 

the women went shopping. 

These were some good times and 

wonderful memories that I will 

never forget and wouldn’t trade 

for anything. 

Something I will always cherish is a Case knife 

that Harry gave me many years ago. He was 

always wanting to give me something. I carry 

that knife every day and think of him every time 

I pull it out of my pocket. He had a heart of 

gold. 

In later years, the last 5 years or so, Harry said 

to me many times, “Robert, remember this, be 

sure you spread your New Zealand breed around. 

By spreading it around the United States you 

guarantee the quality and excellence in rabbit 

breeding for years to come.” I will never forget 

what he said and I knew why he had been such 

a success as a rabbit breeder. He was “forward 

thinking” about preserving the New Zealand 

stock. I have honored his advice to me. 

I will miss our trips, I will miss talking to him 

every month, I will miss a good man and I will 

miss my good friend. I will cherish the memories. 

There will never be another Harry Rice – the 

man who did more for the New Zealand Rabbit 

Breeders Federation than anyone before him or 

to come. Harry Rice and the man he was will live 

on for many, many years to come. 

Farewell my friend, I will see you again.

Harry Rice 

e deadline for our tributes to Harry for 

Tthe T New Zealand Times is upon us and I 

still can’t get down on paper all that I wish to 

say about my friend Harry. I’ve been thinking 

about what to say for a month now ever since 

we lost him on April 8th. It’s been really difficult 

for me personally because Harry meant so much 

to me in so many ways. He was a friend, mentor, 

colleague, idol, and much more. 

When the good Lord blessed Harry into this 

world I’m sure he said there would be no other 

like him!! Over the course of Harry’s 92 years 

there was no one like him. He was uniquely 

Harry. 

When I first met Harry in 1956 I was a 13 year 

old boy just beginning my long journey in the 

“rabbit world”. Harry quickly befriended me and 

encouraged and aided me through every step 

of my hobby and career. He always supported 

the underdog and the novice exhibitor always 

offering advice and free rabbits when needed to 

improve one’s herd. 

Every year for several Harry would judge at 

the Ohio State Fair. Not being able to travel 

far this show was my special show of the year 

showing my Checkered Giants. One year after 

the judging, Harry offered to buy the pair that 

I had won BOB and BOS with over the old guard 

of breeders, Traxler and Bennett. He offered 

me $25.00 for each animal. That was a heck of a 

lot of money to me. I declined his offer however 

and within six weeks I had lost both animals. 

Lesson learned. Never turn down a good offer. 

When I decided to become 

a cavy judge while waiting to 

become eligible to get a rabbit 

judge license I passed the 

written exam and worked my 

required three shows with a 

judge. Harry was one of those 

judges. Yes, he had a cavy judge 

license at that time! At the 

beginning of the day he said to 

me “son, you place these critters 

as you see fit. If I disagree I’ll 

let you know”. He proceeded to 

sit down behind the table and 

didn’t get up until I was finished 

with all of the judging. He said 

“you done good, son.” 

When I worked for my rabbit judges license, 

of course I assisted Harry and was honored that 

he encouraged me in every sense. At one show 

he said to me “ are you going to assist Judge so 

and so today? I acknowledged that I was. He said 

“son, whatever that judge tells you just believe 

the opposite and you will be fine”. Harry was 

right on giving me sound advice. 

Over the years Harry and I traveled to many 

a show together. I always drove! I never got 

sleepy because Harry was so entertaining with 

his stories. I really miss those times. One of 

my favorite stories was about a national New 

Zealand show when his best senior buck was 

quickly dismissed from the class. A bit later the 

count in the class had been determined to be 

incorrect, a rabbit was missing. Harry quickly 

went back to the coop and got his best buck that 

had already been dismissed and put him back 

on the table proclaiming that it was the missing 

entry. That buck proceeded to win the class!! It 

was a great story when told by Harry himself. 

Another favorite memory of Harry was again 

at the Ohio State Fair some years after I had 

become a judge. I worked the show along with 

Harry and a couple of other judges I can’t recall. 

I had won BOB Checkered Giant and Lakie Watts, 

a wonderful New Zealand breeder won BOB New 

Zealand. We both felt we had a great chance to 

win BIS especially because Harry was delegated 

to do the honors. He almost always favored 

one of our two breeds in the past. When all the 

BOB’s came to the table I noticed that the junior 

English Lop rabbit that was on the table was not 

the one I had selected for BOB earlier in the day. 

I decided that I wouldn’t intervene since I very 

much doubted that it had a chance to win, why go 

to the trouble. Harry weeded all the BOB’s down 

to the final three breeds still 

in contention, the Checkered 

Giant, New Zealand, and the 

English Lop. Lakie and I were 

bantering with each other as 

to which of us was going to win 

when Harry suddenly opened 

his Standard of Perfection 

book. I immediately told Lakie 

that we were both going to lose 

because Harry knew our breeds 

extremely well and if he went 

to his standard that meant he 

was strongly considering the 

English Lop. He announced the 

English Lop as BIS. After the 

applause I went to Harry and 

told him that the English Lop 


he selected didn’t win BOB, it 

was mistakenly brought to the 

table. Harry didn’t miss a beat 

he said “well, just think of how 

much better the true BOB would 

have been”!! 

In 1990 at the ARBA National Convention in 

Tampa, Florida I had the extreme pleasure to 

announce and present the highest honor the 

ARBA recognizes, induction to the Hall of Fame, 

to Harry. It was long overdue for a person that 

had been a member since 1933 and all of the 

contributions to the hobby and industry made by 

him. He came up to receive his bronze plaque. 

he shook my hand, said thank you and added 

“it’s about time”. Harry never minced words. He 

told it like it was. I always admired that quality 

about him. 

In later years, residing in Illinois for over 

25 years, I didn’t see Harry that often but 

when we did meet he would have advice and 

encouragement for me. He was my idol. 

My last memory of Harry occurred this past 

November in Piketon, Ohio. In failing health 

he was able to attend the show for a brief 

while. I was privileged to acknowledge Harry’s 

contribution to the New Zealand breed and 

thanked him on behalf of all present and those 

that have come and gone. 

There was and will be only one Harry Rice!! 

Glen 

Harry Rice, Portsmouth, Ohio 

April 6, 1918 to April 8, 2010 

A th the passing of my dear friend Harry 

WRice, W we lost an ARBA Judge, ARBA 

Hall of Fame member, rabbit promoter, master 

rabbit breeder and tremendous friend. Harry 

was also a husband, father and gentlemen. 

Harry Rice dedicated his life to rabbits. Harry 

was a master rabbit breeder, master showman, 

master promoter, and master judge for the 

American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA). 

He first joined the ARBA in 1933, and in 1994 

became an honorary life member. In 1940, 

Harry received his ARBA Registrar and Judge 

licenses. Harry judged in over 41 states and 

several Canadian provinces, and officiated at 

over 3,000 rabbit shows in his lifetime. These 

41 states and Canadian provinces were all seen 

behind the wheel of a semi truck or car, since 

Harry Rice would not get on an airplane. He 

was one of the greatest judges the ARBA ever 

had and was also one of the association’s most 

admired senior judges. 

Harry was a member of numerous local, state 

and national rabbit clubs; however his love was 

always with the New Zealand and Dutch rabbits. 

Harry joined the American Federation of New 

Zealand Rabbit Breeders, which was the national 

club, on November 1, 1949. He purchased his 

first New Zealand’s in 1938, at the Columbus, 

Ohio Convention. Harry skillfully served the 

national New Zealand club as secretary for 

many years. He was an active member of the 

Portsmouth Rabbit Breeders, and a Hall of Fame 

Member of The Ohio State Rabbit Breeders. He 

was inducted into the American Rabbit Breeders 

Association Hall of Fame in 1990, the highest 

award that can be bestowed on a member. He 

was elected to serve on the American Rabbit 

Breeders Association Board of Directors, as well 

as on numerous committees. Along with his wife 

Deskie they formed the well known K O Rabbitry 

in Portsmouth, Ohio. The KO Rabbitry was known 

throughout the rabbit world as a producer of top 

notch breeding animals and quality show stock. 

The 2001-2005 ARBA Standard of Perfection, 

which was dedicated to Harry sums it up best, 

he was “The Sage of Portsmouth.” 

There was only one Harry Rice! His stories 

and smile could cheer up anybody. It was my 

extreme honor to call him a very dear friend! 

Please keep his family in your thoughts and 

prayers. 

We love you and salute you dear friend! Rest 

in peace! 

Thank you 

Chris Hayhow 

We ll miss you 

We’ll miss you 

Harry ! 


IS YOUR 

RABBITRY PROPERLY 

VENTILATED? 

Properly ventilated rabbitries will enhance 

health, growth, reproduction and overall 

condition of rabbits. Conversely, rabbitries 

that are not properly ventilated will cause 

deterioration of the aforementioned traits. 

The temperature for optimum rabbit 

performance is about 55 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Summer heat stress is a severe problem with 

rabbits. Continuous exposure to temperatures 

greater than 85 degrees Fahrenheit for 4-5 days 

can cause sterility for up to 60 days in mature 

bucks (bucks usually older than one year). All 

rabbits are vulnerable to heat prostration 

when cage temperatures exceed 92 degrees 

Fahrenheit. 

During the winter, naturally ventilated housing 

is adequate for mature rabbits provided there 

are no drafts. Supplemental heat can minimize 

frozen water, water lines and maintain growth & 

performance. 

Relative humidity below 35 % dries the 

respiratory tract which can lead to respiratory 

problems (i.e. Snuffles). The same issues can 

occur when humidity levels exceed 65 % where 

too much moisture is present in the air. 

Insulating walls and roofs of buildings will 

reduce or moderate summer temperatures in 

the building and reduce winter supplemental 

heat loss. Insulating roofs of outside structures 

can also help to moderate the affect of summer 

heat on rabbits. 

A healthy air environment in the rabbitry can 

only be achieved through proper ventilation. 

Maintaining a healthy air environment in a 

building is more difficult verse an outside 

structure (hutch and/or open front shed). 

Manure buildup as well as excessive hair 

on cages will reduce air quality and airflow. 

Removing manure and excessive hair in the 

rabbitry is critical to maintaining a healthy air 

environment. 

So where does one go to find out: 

What size fan do I need? 

How many fans do I need? 

What type of fan is best? 

Where do I locate the fans? 

What other types of devices are available? 

What size building is best for natural 

ventilation? 

How much air do I need to move through the 

building? 

The answer to these questions and others 

relevant to ventilation can be found through the 

Midwest Plan Service. The Midwest Plan Service 

contains detailed ventilation publications with 

information for rabbits! YES I SAID RABBITS!!!!!!! 

You can access these for sale publications online 

at www.mwps.org. 

Properly ventilated rabbitries are synonymous 

with successful breeding and show stock 

programs. Ask your self this question, is the air 

they are breathing the air you want to breathe? 

Ventilation provides fresh air and fresh air is 

what a bunny needs.

I didn’t get to go, but 

the rabbits sure had a 

great show !! 

Editor’s note: I received the following in an 

email and just had to share it with everyone. 

Looks like Wendall Tisher has the right idea by 

helping others with good rabbits. Way to go, 

Wendall....you made someone very happy !! 

Last weekend, April 10 and 11, The Kootenai 

River Rabbit Club, based in Libby, Montana, 

sponsored 4 open ARBA sanctioned rabbit shows. 

These shows were held in Kalispell, Montana, at 

the Fairgrounds there. 

I was not able to attend due to medical 

problems, but a friend of mine talked me into 

letting her take some of my New Zealands, 

including one nice Black Broken senior doe, and 

showing them for me. I am sure glad I did. 

On Saturday, under judges Allan Ormond and 

Cindy Wickizer, my lone little Black Broken doe 

was awarded Best of Breed and earned two legs. 

The icing on the cake was later though, as Allan 

Ormond really liked this doe and awarded her 

Best In Show. 

These shows are small, according to some in 

the Midwest and East, but we do have some nice 

animals here and I am really pleased with this. 

There was a total of 12 New Zealands entered, 

11 Whites and my one Black Broken doe. Two 

of the Whites were mine, 7 belonged to a friend 

from Idaho, another was owned by a breeder in 

Libby, MT and another by my Grandson’s wife, 

they live next door and have just a few NZ for 

meat producers. There were enough animals 

entered to give legs to both BOS and BOSV in 

the Whites so we were all pleased with that. 

Since the shows in this area are mostly about 

300 miles apart we do not have as big of shows 

as other parts of the country, but we try to get 

good judges and has as high quality a show as 

we can. 

I bought this doe from Wendall Tisher in the 

fall of 2008 and she has become a special pet. 

I did not even see the doe or any pictures of 

her, just told Wendall that I wanted a nice trio 

and he picked three beautiful rabbits for me. I 

am so grateful to him for sending me such nice 

stock. 

I showed her in May of 2009, at our local 

Western Montana Rabbit Fanciers ARBA shows, 

and both the judges, Lawrence Weeks and 

Nancy Richmond really like her then also. Both 

wanted to give her Best of Breed over some nice 

Whites then, but of course could not because 

the Brokens were not recognized at that time. 

I have been holding on to her hoping she would 

keep her nice type and quality until the Brokens 

were recognized and I could show her for legs. I 

am sure glad that I did. 

I have attached a couple of pictures of her. 

One with the judge Allan Ormond, which is not 

the best as it shows only her rear end, and a 

couple of her sitting on the specially made quilt 

that was given as the BIS award. The picture 

with Allan was taken by a friend at the show. 

She said she would send a couple others when 

she can but thought this was the best she had. 

This friend is also a New Zealand breeder and 

is disabled so I think I am lucky to have gotten 

what I did. She also made the quilts that KRRC 

used for their BIS awards. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I 

hope you can at least make out the rabbit in the 

pictures. They are not really posed pictures, 

but do show her markings anyway. 

Mary Esther Betson 

Editor’s Note: 

I just got an email 

from Mary that said 

she Championed out 

this Broken Doe, and 

will now be retiring 

her to the breeding 

program. 

Way to go Mary ! 

This might be the fi rst Broken NZ to obtain an 

ARBA Grand Champion status.....not sure....
