Denim had 5...no, 6....no, 7 babies yesterday. She's a grand champion broken black with a smooth body and we bred her to Kay Miller's Jason, who has a great head and nice bone. (He's a grand champion, too.) If we can get a bunch of babies from this cross, and if they're as nice as we're hoping....

Well, a lot of "if's" but that's the nature of breeding rabbits. The hope of the new match, the plans for the future matings.

We'd love to get a black out of this mating to use in our otter program. Of course, we'd love to get a batch of Best of Breed bunnies, too!

This is a nice linebreeding, with enough outcrossing to hopefully strength Denim's head while shortening her body. We'll see if the idea worked.
