Furs Class Rabbitry

05/17/2026

My small show team had a nice weekend in Frankfort, KY and pulled a few wins. Most of mine are young juniors and a couple seniors, but it was great to see Double C’s TopNotch get his first BOSB win. Love that little buck and excited to see how he continues to grow. Now to await litters from every doe in the barn the next few weeks 🤞

I took some pictures while finishing the rest of the nest boxes tonight to share with anyone wanting to build their own for smaller breeds. Supplies listed below, details on photos, last photo has measurements. Hope this helps!

-You will need-
Cordless saw, brad nailer, drill, 6” hole saw (optional)
*1/2” plywood
*1 sheet of 1/2” plywood made 9 boxes

(They’re not perfect, but for $4/box plus my time, they work perfectly)

Tried out the new tattoo wrap from The BOHO Bunny: Handmade Creations today. The small fit junior Polish perfectly and no more back feet grabbing the carpet under them or Velcro grabbing coats. Definitely recommended!

Made it home late last night from Wisconsin and for my first national show raising Polish and my first full year contributing to national sweepstakes, I couldn’t have dreamed for a better outcome.

I took 5 homebred rabbits to show in the National, and 3 made top ten and 1 made it in the top 5!

At the banquet, we also received sweepstakes awards and the coveted Premier Polish awards were announced. Premier Polish is a total surprise leading up to the banquet and is awarded to top 10 animals of the year across the country. I was absolutely honored to have my buck Ash (JH12) come in 6th!! 🤩

Ash comes from two of my foundation animals Rockets Coal (Michaela Walsh/Rocket's) and Willow Woods W230 (Jan Stone), both of which still produce heavily in my barn. Coming home excited to see what a couple bucks from Double C’s Rabbitry add to the barn. I cannot thank Chyann Stewart enough for offering up gorgeous animals like Top Notch and entrusting me with Captain Hook for a visit, the excitement is unmatched.

The hospitality of the Polish breeders and club is remarkable. 2 years ago when I switched my entire barn to Polish, I wondered if I was crazy..but I cannot begin to speak highly enough about this breed and the people I’ve met and now call friends.

A rarity for this barn, a litter without a black or broken black…given my track record with not liking dilutes, we will cross our fingers for a keeper 🤔

Home from an awesome local show put on by Lawrence Co 4-H in Bedford, IN just a little over an hour from home. Just a couple of us showing polish, but had great comments and was honored with a Reserve in Show for Show A! We had BOB & BOSB all 4 shows with several rabbits.

Congratulations to everyone on their wins this weekend if I missed anyone before they left! Now to hope we can finish some coats for nationals 🤞

Spending time with babies to just get them used to being handled. I don’t eval anything this early, just getting them comfortable. Now just to wait and watch them grow. 🌱🤞
