Half Ragdoll Kittens For Sale :)

Just thought I'd do a quick post and let anyone interested know I have some *adorable* half-ragdoll kittens for sale.  I acquired a beautiful pure-bred ragdoll last year and have a litter of kittens from him.  There are four males and one female.  They are the sweetest little kittens ever, and have received a lot of attention, so are super friendly and love attention.  They definitely have their daddy's ragdoll characteristics, too!  Here's a picture of each of them, email me for more pics and info if you are interested, though.  $150 each.

I thought this was so cute!  Muffin & Duchess, my kitten, both sitting on my lap.  :)  I'm surprised she doesn't try to eat him...LOL!  :)

Introducing....

I am SO excited about the latest addition to the rabbitry!  This little buck will be my replacement for Thumper, and yet another "Mickey jr."!!!  Jasper is out of, yes, Mickey, and another one of my homebreds that Julia Aamot owns, Hoppin' Hotot's Ruby!  ...who is one gorgeous show doe.  :-)  Jasper is looking so absolutely amazing, and I am THRILLED to have him in my herd!  Can't wait to show this little guy, and see how his babies turn out!  (Although that will be a ways down the road, he's only 11 weeks old).  :-) 

Introducing...  Hoppin' Hotot's Jasper


 
Amazing head, depth, width, fullness...EVERYTHING on this little guy!  And he's a SWEETIE.  I keep finding myself unconciously calling him "Thumper".  :-)  What a sweetie.  <3
And a big thanks to Julia for parting with him!! :-)
 
I will get an official photo of him posted soon.  :-)

Picture of the Day...

You gotta love this!  This little bun is "Smudge", a little sport doe I sold to a family a few months ago.  Here she is snuggled up on the couch with the dog and her owner.  Isn't that too cute!?!?  Obviously very loved.  :-)




On a sad note... I had to put down Thumper and Ally.  Thumper just wasn't doing well, and besides his eye, developed some other serious issues.  :'-(  Ally... poor girl, her fur was all falling out again and she just didn't look good. I felt it was only humane to put them to sleep.  It's hard, but a part of raising rabbits.

On a happy note, I am working on breeding Haylie and Princess.  They are both going to get bred to Vinson and I hope to keep babies from these litters, I am SO excited to see what they produce!!!  I'm really expecting a nice cross from Vin and Princess.  Can't wait!  :-)

Kitten Pictures :)

No, this has nothing to do with rabbits.  But who couldn't love some pictures of my half ragdoll kittens!?!?  These guys (and one little gal) are so precious! Three weeks old...  :-)
Enjoy. :)

*Princess*

Just some pictures of Princess - this tiny little doe is 2 pounds, ready to breed, and looking SO INCREDIBLE!!!  I am going to breed her to Vinson this week, and can't WAIT for her babies! They should be amazing, I hope she does good as a first time mom! 


Incredible, HIGH and rounded topline on her, great head and ears, and amazing width on this little lady.... Princess just might become my foundation doe!

Introducing..... Veronica!

So this is my new doe I came home with from the show.  I got her from Debbie McLaughlin (Hidden Habit Rabbitry) and she is drop-dead GORGEOUS!!!!!!  Can't get over her, I am THRILLED to have her in my herd!!!!  She's about 8 weeks old, and a 1/2 sister to Mickey... EXCITING!

Introducing... HIDDEN HABIT'S VERONICA!!!






 
 
This little doe is amazing - she has a "doe head" and ears, but her body.... SOOOOO ***full*** and rounded and wide, love love love it!  She does have a black spot on her ear so can't be shown, but I can't wait to see her babies!  I am thrilled to have Veronica join the herd.  :-)

MN State Convention Results!!!

Wow... it was such a fun day at the MN State Convention!  I was up at 5:30 and Dad and I left by 6:30AM so we got there right when the doors opened and met Julia and her mom and set up "camp".  It was a VERY LONG wait, though!  I think it was around 1:30PM until Dwarf Hotots FINALLY got judged.  I was SO nervous!  Sr. Bucks were up first of course... Mickey took second place out of the 7 bucks!  The judge said he would have gotten first if it wasn't for his coat... which I kind of knew was coming, since his coat looks pretty rough right now (molting). :(   But I was excited for him to get 2nd place!   Then Sr. Does - Julia and I were the only ones who entered a Sr. Doe - Julia's doe, Hoppin' Hotot's Ruby (who is Mickey's half-sister) got first and Zahara got second, of course.  ;-)  Jr. Bucks- Thumper did get DQ'd as I was expecting. :-(    But the REALLY exciting news from the jr. buck class.... Mickey's son, Julia's buck "HFR's Bandit" took FIRST place!!!  YAY Julia!  I was so excited to see Mickey is out producing himself.  But the best part was when BOB was being judged... and Bandit took BOB also!!!!  Congratulations Julia!!!!!!  Then Jr. Does - I got a pleasant surprise!  I think there were 5 jr. does in the class, and Trixi took a close 2nd place!  I was not expecting even her to do that well, so that was REALLY exciting!  I can't wait to show her again, she is really one nice little doe, and I hope to have her babies on the show tables soon, also.

So I came home with three 2nd place ribbons, some other odds and ends I bought there, and a new little doe!  ...who I will post about tomorrow. She is GORGEOUS!!!!

Now for some pictures....

Julia & I heading over to Susie Dapper's table, FINALLY the Hotots are up!
