Nationals <strong>2023</strong> is approaching fast and everyone is<br />
working on last minute preparations for their<br />
Conditing, and selecting their entries. I want to wish<br />
everybody good luck. With that being said I really<br />
love seeing all my friends that I only see once or<br />
twice a year. It is so much fun to look at other<br />
exhibitors rabbits and compare what you need to<br />
work on such as coat texture, density, type etc. one<br />
judge might prefer one type and another prefers a<br />
different type, the first to tenth place rabbits can go<br />
in other parts of the country and receive a Bis or ris.<br />
I never let a judge decide which rabbits I might keep<br />
for breeding as I had a doe that I never got a leg on,<br />
her coat was a little rough but she threw me more<br />
grand champions than a doe I had that had 33 legs.<br />
It’s all about which 2 rabbits that you pair together to<br />
complement each others faults.<br />
I have done extremely good with my rabbits this<br />
spring and it’s always nice to win but my competitors<br />
have awesome rabbits and I am blessed each time<br />
my rabbits win. That can always change when one<br />
person raises that one awesome rabbit that’s a<br />
ringer. Always tell the winner or winner’s<br />
congratulations because when it’s your turn to win<br />
you sure want to know that someone recognizes<br />
your hard work.<br />
Good luck my friends in the shows to come and I will<br />
see you down the road.<br />
