Oswald was a leftover buck from our last litter of English Angora. He was the runt. Shocked he made it. His little body didn't handle weening so well and he got gunked up and required a ✨functional✨ haircut.

Thankfully a month later his coat is looking wonderful. Angoras do one thing well... Grow hair! Little Ozzy is the sweetest boy but no longer available. He's a keeper!

Easy there, Darla! Trying to dive to the bottom for the treats!

Should've grabbed out this English Angora doe sooner. Apparently the fan at hyper speed in the barn during the heat the last month or so has been maintaining her fur between blowouts! Would've brought her with us to the Argos show tomorrow night had I realized sooner.

Oh well. We'll be taking three French Lops and two Mini Lops tomorrow to the show!

Scott's Tango (aka Bynx) was bred tonight to Schmidt's G71 (aka Thackery). Fingers crossed for the Rabbitry's first mini lop litter in a month!

Welcome Eden's 9NX2, or as we call him "Nigel," to the Rabbitry! This buck is a dreamboat with a nice broad head, nice depth, and a great personality to boot! At 11 months old, he has a couple show legs, which includes a leg at Lop Nationals.

We'll begin using him for breeding early next year with our Porter County Fair best of breed, Dune Thistle's Dory, Keep an eye on our page because we have three FL does with potential buns in the oven , due in September!

DOWNSIZIMG EA Herd
Proven Harlequin buck! Fully pedigreed DOB 8/13/25 Valparaiso, IN

He's never missed. Throws lots of magpie and harlequin VM babies. His fiber is super low maintenance. Sweet rabbit and reliable sire, but our barn just isn't quite big enough to keep him around after his most recent litters.

Has also thrown solid chocolate and black as well. Pair him with another harlequin and you're golden!

Introducing our new Mini Lop herd!

We're so excited to add Mini Lops to our barn and can't wait to get them on some show tables! Starting our herd out strong with some strong genes and some solid top lines. Three seniors (two does, 1 buck) to kick off our program this year and an 8 week old chinchilla buck and 9 week old gold tipped steel doe to round us out in a about 7 months.

Planning to breed for the first time in late August, so expect to see mini lop babies available in October/November. Our rabbits are pedigreed and bred to the ARBA Standards of Perfection.

👀 for new girlfriends! Dune Thistle Rabbitry's Scuttle is ready to hop the coop!

Would do great to add some chunk to the heads of your French Lop herd and has nice bone. Super sweet as well. Kids used him as their mini 4H showmanship rabbit this year at the Porter County Fair. Oldest showed him where he got 3rd in solids. He is on the smaller side now at 9.5 pounds but is only 5 1/2 months old.
