Black Dutch

Thanks to some quality starter stock from Victor Baldock in 2005, blues are now Richard's main colour.

Leah introduced me to rabbit showing and I have been a member of the BRC for 6 years now. I have bred and exhibited all 7 colours of Dutch during this time. I am currently breeding brown-greys, blues and the occasional black and am beginning to enjoy some big wins with own bred rabbits. I was awarded my first Best in Show with an own bred black Dutch in 2006.

Josh is 3 years old and loves to cuddle our rabbits and 'blow' their coats just like we do, he even helps to groom them (and his many Dutch rabbit cuddly toys) ready for shows. He has already attended several shows up and down the country and has a clear interest in rabbits with Dutch markings. We have joined him to some Area Dutch clubs, as a junior member, and have given him a pet blue Dutch buck called Thomas to show with.

I have been a BRC member for 15 years and have been involved in all aspects of the Fancy, from breeding and exhibiting to Judging and running local and Area Specialist clubs. I have kept many different breeds from all 4 sections over the years, but I now just keep chocolate and brown-grey Dutch. Richard and I are currently joint secretaries of the Greater London Dutch Rabbit Club (although I do most of the work!!) I am also a BRC District Advisor for our area.

Charley is the newest addition to our family born on Christmas Day 2007. At about 18 months old she suddenly developed an interest in rabbits and now asks to go down our shed almost every day. We recently acquired a 2 year old tortoiseshell buck that had been destined for a rescue centre. Charley fell in love with him straight away so he has been named Murdoch and will be her pet.
