Dire Wolf Rabbitry - Satin Angoras

DWR Root Beer - Chocolate agouti junior doe.
Cotton Patch Farms CocoaCola x Sarah’s Don Julio Sunrise.
This doe has absolutely powerful shoulders, they are honestly some of the best I’ve felt on any satin angora. NFS, she’s definitely sticking around!
I’ll be posting a few other keepers from recent litters within the next few days that I haven’t gotten around to taking pictures of.

Had lots of fun at the Greensboro, NC show this past weekend!
As always, I loved seeing my rabbit friends - I enjoy our discussions so much.
My satin angoras did well!
In show A, DWR Malon (broken red Jr doe) got BOV, earning her first leg. DWR Don Julio Tequila got BOSV, I don’t think there were enough colored bucks to earn a leg but I could be wrong.
In show B, DWR Navi (broken chocolate agouti doe) got BOV, also earning her first leg.
In show C, DWR Don Julio Tequila got BOSB.
In show D, DWR Malon got BOB (earning her 2nd leg) and Tequila got BOSB.
This was my first show that I have had enough competition to earn legs when it comes to my Satins!
DWR Black Wood (Black JR doe) managed to take 3 BOB wins.
My herd buck Pierre (Broken SR Buck) got 1 BOB and 2 BOSB wins.
They’ve received excellent comments in the past but I am so excited that they managed to do so well with competition.

Forgot to make a post about last weekend’s show in Dalton, GA!
The bunnies did well 🙂
I showed 2 satins, and they did fantastic (really good comments) but unfortunately we didn’t have enough competition for legs. That’s okay, I’m still happy about it!
The Satin Angoras did great as well.
DWR Link earned 1 BOSB leg - this is his 5th leg.
A 10 week old chococolate agouti buck (currently unnamed, but likely a keeper) also earned 1 BOSB leg. He is out of DWR Topaz and Sarah’s Don Julio Sunrise. I think he’s going to turn out very nice!
DWR Malon won a few of the junior doe classes, but there was not enough for legs and the Senior does that were shown beat the juniors. Regardless, I’m very excited to watch her mature.

DWR Gamble (Blue) x Sarah’s Don Julio Sunrise (Chocolate Agouti) litter born 1-15-2023!
4 fawns, 2 chestnut, 2 chocolate agouti.
2 unexpected genes from gamble - chocolate and non-extension. I was hoping for chocolate, but only her sire carried it - I was not hoping for non-extension, only her dam carried it. It’s fine, just not the most ideal for my plans.

F1 Satin x Satin Angora litter, my second hybrid litter. 4 opals, 1 broken opal, 1 broken chestnut/copper, 1 broken black. Born 2-2-2023.
The goal is to cross the kits back to satin angoras to improve type in them. Only quality animals would be used, if nothing nice comes from the litter then I will scratch that hybrid line. No rabbits from the line will ever be sold without transparency on their hybrid background, even 20 generations later.

DWR Wings (Black Pearl) x DWR Regal (REW, genetically tort - could be any color tort) litter, born 2-3-2023. All pearls, exact colors are still unknown. There are 6.

Zooterkins Winky Face (Opal) x Sarah’s Don Julio Sunrise (Chocolate Agouti) litter.
2 chocolate agouti does, 3 chestnut does, 1 chestnut buck. Don Julio passed on his super low rufus in most of his babies, which has been interesting to see.

Greenleaves Vegas, broken red junior doe.
I wasn’t really looking to make an addition to my herd, but she looked really nice so I decided I’d take a look at her at a recent show. Her coat density won me over instantly 😅 I love her already.
She’s a very cute doe, with a lot of personality.
Unfortunately I didn’t get any pictures at the NYE show (why do I always forget??). But the bunnies did good - DWR Link (Broken Lynx Senior Buck) won every colored Senior buck class, and I think he picked up 1 BOSV. He earned 4 show legs, he would have gotten 5 if I hadn’t scratched a class filler buck because I didn’t think we had the numbers anyway... I was mistaken. This was a very competitive show, and I had mostly class fillers and 11 week old juniors, but I am still happy with the comments. 3 rabbits also got registered last weekend (Constellation Bunnies Freya, DWR Moon Stone, and Sarah’s Don Julio Sunrise).
I’m very excited for upcoming shows, and I was so happy to see a lot of my angora friends! Other than 1 very local show, our last show before NYE was at the beginning of summer.
