I have had bunnies as pets since 1987. My first rabbits that I raised were my Mini Lops. I got my first Mini Lop breeding bunnies in 1995 which consisted of Chestnuts, Opals, REWs and Chinchillas. In 2004 I finally found a long-sought-after Tri-Color! The Tris are my favorite variety and I have registered stock that produces Tri-Colors in all four varieties: Black/Orange, Blue/Fawn, Chocolate/Orange & Lilac/Fawn! My goal is to improve the type so my Tri-Colors can beat even the gorgeous Chestnuts that are out there on the show tables! I'm now starting to show my junior Tri-Colors, hopefully we'll come home with some legs this year! I also have some lovely Chocolate & Lilac varieties I work with. I've raised Chocolates since 2003, two that I know of have gone on to become Grand Champions! My Mini Lop bloodlines are mostly my own RD's lines now with a few new Minis mixed in here and there for genetic diversity.
