Show A was judged by Randy Shumaker, CA. In the SSB class 1st place went to BBF's Gunslinger and Best Solid, SSD class went to BBF's Raffle-Ella and Best Opp Solid. The SJB class garnered a close 2nd for BBF's 1T, (BBF's Thistle's first son). Brian's very cute SJB took the class and his SJD took her class with BBF's 36G 2nd and BBF's 2T 3rd (Thistle's first and only doe so far). We took just one broken, BBF's Hot Button and he took Best Opp Broken.
Pictured below is Gunslinger with his Best in Show trophy. It's funny the difference in angles the same rabbit can look but it is the same rabbit taken minutes apart. The club has another trophy that both the Best in Show winner's names are engraved. Normally it is shared 6 months each between the two winners. But alas they wouldn't let me take it for my 6 mos., probably afraid of getting it back across the border. Ha! But I did get the very nice trophy below. This grand champed "Gunny" and "Ella" both.
It meant a lot to win a Best in Show with a Holland Lop under Randy as he raised Hollands for many years and knows them so well. He said he'd never had a Holland pose himself all on his own. "Gunny" would allow Randy just so much help in posing and then he'd give himself a shake and rearrange himself to his own liking. Whatever works!
Show B was judged by Stacy Easton, OH. BBF's Raffle-Ella took Best Opp Solid again and BBF's Hot Button took Best Opp Broken again. Brian took BOB with his BSD and BOS with Heath's Eldon. This doe took Best in Show B.
