Netherland Dwarfs

So a new project for our farm. The Netherland Dwarfs. For those that remember when Selina lived with us a few years ago, she bred Himi and Shaded Dwarfs. She really enjoyed them, however after she moved back to Yellowknife, Kim and I were busy with our breeds and decided to part with the dwarfs.

Over the last few years, as Selina is out to visit, she has mentioned that she missed the dwarfs, and quite honestly so did we!

So, after taking several months to think about it, we decided to convert the one sheep shed into another rabbit barn, to house the Dwarfs (as well as the cavies, and over-flow Mini Lop juniors).

Selina is looking forward to working with them again, and I know she will be giving us her opinion through pictures and will be out here as much as she can (she should be moving closer shortly).

This time, we are breeding Black Otter and Chestnuts. We picked up 4 animals from Mike Ritter, and Shauna Kennedy of Twig's Rabbity kindly gave us a super cute Chestnut buck and Black Otter doe to work with as well! Thank you Mike & Shauna.

Dwarf Herd:

Twig's Joel (Chestnut buck) - Twig's Cade (Chestnut) X Twig's Skaha (Blue)
Twig's Emma (Black Otter doe) - Hobb's Winston (Chestnut) X Twig's Naughty Pine (Chestnut)

So, those are the dwarfs. We will try to get pictures of them all shortly!
