We sold three rabbits tonight - 1 buck and 2 does. They are all sweet Hollands. We will miss Ruffles the most. She was one of Cinnabun's babies. Cinnabun was our original brood doe. Ruffles is a siamese sable. The picture on the left is of Ruffles with her sister, Houdini, when they were babies. They were one of our first show quality litters. I remember that we were so excited about that litter. The quality of our Hollands has really improved in the last few years.
Selling is still a hard process. We love our rabbits. They are not only show rabbits but pets. One of our friends used to tell us that we had to choose between being a breeder or a pet owner. We have embraced both. But when it comes to selling we must put on our breeding hat. We know that we can't continue to breed unless we are willing to sell. So in order to enjoy the babies we must be willing to sell our other Hollands that we are already attached to. That is never an easy thing. But it is not as difficult as it used to be. There is a balance now. We are so excited to share our Hollands with other people who will love them as much as we do. But we will certainly miss them. It is just great to know that we are selling show quality Hollands to other families. We know that the quality of Hollands continues to improve in our region as we sell good Hollands to others. We are happy to do that. The sadness that comes with each sale is balanced with the joy we find in helping other Holland Lop lovers. We want to thank everyone who has purchased Hollands from us. We appreciate the love you give to your new Hollands.
Just wanted you to know that the bunnies are settling in really well. Thank you for letting us bring them into our family. They will definitley be loved!
