Updates, misses and hits

21/02/16 -Welcome back to my regular blogs on Tarax Stud (gauff well we can hope lol) anyway this is just a quick catch up on the matings from last month :)
The intention was good as we mated up a lot of our does including the different breeds we have in the shed :) so the following were mated up...

2 Glavcots (both missed)
1 Siberian (missed)
1 Dwarf Papillon (missed)

In the mini's we mated up the following :)
Lutino (missed)
Lutino Shadow mated to F1 Agouti produced 1 lutinos and 3 agouti's
Lutino Dove mated to F1 black self produced 2 lutino's and 2 black torts
Dove doe (missed)
Dove doe 2 (missed)
Dove Tort (missed)
Black tort F1 (missed)
2 black F1 doe's (both missed)
2 F1 orange doe's (1 missed) the other mated to an F1 agouti produced 3 agouti's lol

3 Choc torts (missed)
lilac tort (missed)

In the BEW's we mated up 3 doe's which all took :) doe 1 (BEW to BEW) had 4 but she scattered 3 so the other went into another litter Doe 2 (BEW to BEW) had 4 and doe 3 (BEW to Agouti carrying BEW) produced 5, 3 BEW's and 2 Agouti's

3 other coloured doe's were mated up but they missed as well :(
More up set about the Glavcots missing and the Lutino's as wanting something to bring along to 'The London' but we have repeated the matings so hopefully middle March we will have some good news :)

Blog 73 All quiet on the western front...

 OK I know its not a rabbit lol but he is our latest addition to the family (this is Bentley) and i thought after all this time it would distract from the point nothing has been put up...for a year...!!?? I know but I'm not the best compared to the wife who can put blogs up on regular times....but a year is a bloody long time not to put something up :( The trouble, is that there is no way i can remember stuff that is rabbit relevant or rabbit related from a whole year lol so until i put my regular blogs back up this is a 2015 in a sentence....er hem...'some shows...some kits...new car....our dog passed away...new dog (refer to above photo)...lots of mating's for 2016...the end :) so that's it in a nutshell. We lead such hectic lives lol

On a series note (just in case anyone is worrying) it truly has been quiet as real life over laps as usual into our hobby. Family and friends are OK we do have some health scares going on unfortunately (not with us luckily) and yes we lost our Hamish before Christmas which is why the new addition...but rest assured we still have all the rabbits :) bar a few changes (grin) don't worry no new breeds or colours....but we are trying to focus on certain colours and rabbits in the shed (which some of you may already know if you follow us on FB or our web page.

After the London Show in October we decided to cut back on the Siberians (3) which allowed us some extra hutch space for the Glavcots and the Tri Dwarf Papillons. In the mini's we are staying with Lilac and Chocolate Torts, Blue Eyed Whites and 3 colour variations in the Lutino colour....Lutino, Shadow and Dove.

What i will hope to do is get back on track with a regular blog as soon as possible...we are due litters over the next week so will hopefully start with them...so until then tc and chat soon :)
