She actually lives literally down the road from me now. She recently posted on Facebook that because she has a newborn son that she would like to downsize her rabbitry.

I forgot about Tans and woul...Oh, really good list! I forgot about Tans and would totally try them. They are very attractive and it sounds like Bob Bennett uses his culls for meat with success. Some of his recipes actually sound really good, like the fried rabbit crusted in potato chips. I have also heard mixed reviews about CG and BP's as biters. I almost added standard Rex with Satins on the list, but I had never seen them anywhere locally. I have heard their pelts are even more in demand than flyback white. I did contact the lady in Athens that raised Beverens and she had sold out. I found another rabbitry with them, but she only had does available and has not responded to my inquiry in a couple of weeks, unfortunately. I'm not trying to sound negative about them, but every time I see the opportunity for Bevs over 5+ years now, it has never worked out, so I know it is a longshot to begin with. <br /><br />Is the Dutch breeder Runway Rabbitry? I contacted someone that has offspring of their stock recently, but I'm waiting to hear back. I had thought it was someone that had purchased my does back in 2012, but it may be two different people by the same first name. I'd love my Harlies to continue on, but if they can't that might be a good option if there is someone to buy stock from. Thank you so much! :)Hendricks Hearthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15786903535003252218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286474412316269416.post-14171841179259128972014-12-09T10:54:49.908-08:002014-12-09T10:54:49.908-08:00I am also picky about what I'd want to raise. ...I am also picky about what I'd want to raise. My choices in order:<br /><br />1. Harlequins<br />2. Tans<br />3. Satins<br />4. Champagne<br />5. Rex (only if they have good type, not the gangly things I've seen lately)<br /><br />I would love to have French Angoras along with my Harlies but I don't know about the grooming aspect. I also thought about Checkered Giants since they are pretty but the stories of them being prone to biting keep me away.<br /><br />I may have mentioned the lady in Athens, GA who raised Beverens. She sold her herd but I'm sure she would let you know where they are now. There is a girl near me with pretty good Dutch from what I can tell. She has blacks, blues, chocolates, torts, and even lilacs. Hopefully that helps. :)April @ Scrambled Eggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11177874487941674961noreply@blogger.com
