Gay's Daphne became a Mama to lucky 7 on 11/9/09, THE DAY SHE WAS DUE! What a good girl!
This doe is a superb mother and so laid back. The litter can be seen in my blog header pic and below :-)
I got two brokens from the mating, a broken fawn and a broken cream who is staying right here and it looks to be a doe at first sexing but I will keep either.
The name will be JoieDeVive's Creme Brulee.
I also got 3 Opals, a self Fawn, and what looks to be a chestnut or copper agouti.
Here they are, Daphne's Lucky 7!
Day one.
Day Two:All my buns in a row...
Opal :-)
All three lights, Top to bottom:
Fawn, Broken Fawn, and little Creme Brulee :-)
More coming, blogspot is acting up on pic uploading.
NOT a shabby color assortment at all for my first litter, Thank you very much Tina for putting this mating together for me and making it possible for me to bring home this lovely doe!
I will be retaining the bkn cream, one opal, and the chestnut/copper agouti who is destined to be my nearly 8 year old daughter Megans youth show rabbit, JoieDeVive's Tobi, who looks to be a doe right now.
That girl is going to be something I know it. She will be 8 in Feb. and while she DRIVES ME ABSOLUTLY INSANE on a daily basis with her attitude problem she would make someone an awesome barn manager in the future.
She could run my rabbitry with no help, I would trust her completely to fullfill the duties of feeding/watering/haying, etc. She knows exactly who gets what feed on what day, with which supplement, and how much hay. Keith doesn't even know that.
She knows how I like my cages cleaned, how I like my barn swept out, how to groom and blow, etc. And she has no problem delegating duties to others and telling them how to do things. In the rabbitry she is a machine. I just wish she would clean her room!
When I was a little girl I was horse CRAZY. By the time I was 15 I was managing a 30 stall farm and teaching riding lessons in English. I was in charge of ordering inventory, making sure the places were kept in pristine condition, hiring farm hands and grooms, exercise riding horses, leading public trail rides, organising shows, etc. I have always been very mature for my age, we'll just say that.
So, when I look at her and I see that kind of leadship and raw talent, I know exactly where she got it from and I have a feeling that if I start my kids in the rabbit world early on, they will be able to do great things for it as they get older.
She also happens to be horse crazy and would love nothing more than to have her own pony (I'm working on it, shhhh).
I can see this becoming a whole family hobby, which I would love.
