Netherland Dwarf Bucks
We started with one Chestnut Vienna Marked buck, and while he ended up being slightly over-sized, was throwing very nice kits. An improvement over his traits anyway. We then did a lot more research into what we need to do to improve type in order to be truly competitive with our BEW's, and ultimately improve the Netherland Breed by our contributions in this color. We have a long way to go, but you won't get anywhere if you don't have a goal.
The bloodlines that we started with were Gray's with our original trio, and we have since added Garner, King (Garner), Brown (Bond and Ford), Sunrise, and Smith lines. It is our goal to produce a very typey, massive BEW that is recognizable as our own line. This will obviously take multiple generations, but we are having fun as we go along. And we are having fun with the non-BEW Chinchillas, Black Silver Martens, and Black Otters, too.
Since we are getting some interesting colors in our BEW project, we are really having fun with our resulting kits, especially the VM's/VC's. We never know exactly what each litter is going to throw color wise.

This BEW buck was bred by Tracee Willette of Sunrise Rabbitry in Michigan. He is definitely adding some much needed depth, width, and bone to his kits.

I had put this buck in a bottom cage to just see how he matured. And I'm glad a I did. I'm just now starting to breed him to some of my solid non-BEW does to see what he throws.

Dam: Gray's Snow White, Ermine (blue-gray eyes)
Breeding Designation for tattoos: J
Not as typey or as small as I would like, he is crossing well with my does and producing better than himself, which is all we can hope for in a buck. He does carry dilute, Max Factor, and it looks like shaded (cchl), too.

I have to say that photos don't do this little guy justice. His favorite place to sit is on his food bowl. Wish photos showed off his roundness better than they do.
Good comments from the judges at the March 2014 Decatur Rabbit Breeders Association Double Show in Conyers, GA.

This little guy comes to us from Michael King of King's Gems Rabbitry in Knoxville, Tennessee, and his pedigree is all Garner, with a little Smith several generations back. He's a proven buck and he does throw dilutes, so I should get some interesting colors in my kits. Best of all, he is a little sweetheart.
Took him to November 2013 Decatur RBA Southeastern Classic Rabbit Show In Conyers where he was 2nd in his Variety in Show A and Show B.
