Grace is a doe from Star and Odin that we took to the Lebanon show in October 2009 to sell. Anita Trautwein went through the litters and picked out two that she thought had potential. I took her advice and kept the two.
Grace is one of the two that we kept. She was shown for the first time at the Wade Memorial Show in Carroll County Md. She won first place intermediate doe and Best Opposite Sex. Then we took her to the PaSRBA show and she won the same. Both of her BOS counted toward a leg. We are very excited about her potential and look forward to the next show.
We are very grateful for the guidance that other breeders, like Anita, give to us to help improve our line. This breed is great and the other breeders are wonderful and delightful to hang out with at shows.
UPDATE- Grace was a bit careless while playing in her cage one night and broke her back. She had to be put down. This was such a tragedy for our rabbitry because Grace was turning out to be a prized doe, our best in her class and best in the rabbitry. What a loss. Replacing her will a challenge.
