I missed seeing Heidi and Cheyenne (daughter) Keen who were also looking to get back on the HL bandwagon again. When Cheyenne and her brother Cody showed their Hollands, those were kids that KNEW their rabbits. None of this bait and switch of an adult showing in youth. I bought a cute doe from Cody who could tell me the doe's entire lineage. When she placed at convention, he came running over to tell me how she did. Mom tracked the sales for them but that was about it. The kids were involved and interested. Glad to hear they are coming back too.
At the PA convention I got to see and had time to talk to Bob Rohrbaugh from PA. Bob, wife and daughter were in Holland Lops years ago. Another case of..." the youth are our future" of the rabbit industry. When Bob's daughter went out of Hollands, Bob and his wife stayed in. That to me is the classic prophecy of the saying you hear over and over when clubs are asking for support of youth members, monetarily or otherwise. Yes, the youth are our future because when they go out of rabbits, there parents stay in! Anyway, Bob is looking to get back into Hollands and decided to see if the breed has changed much and who had what for stock. It'll be nice to see them both back in again.
