It was a beautiful weekend for a state convention in Greensboro, North Carolina, and the show squad didn't disappoint! This was easily the most rabbits exhibited from the Quarry Ridge rabbitry in some time. 14 rabbits made the trek down from West Virginia in search of legs and glory. In addition to established champions, Mom brought some newbies along for their first show, some to sell and some to start their show careers. Several months ago, Mom played matchmaker with Cromwell, one of her typey, but smaller bucks and Alexandria, a brute of a doe who never seems to keep her coat in order. Little was expected of the pairing, so it was quite the surprise when three little superstars emerged from the nestbox. Funck's Abbey, Wessex, and Crusader all did well throughout the weekend, each gaining legs throughout the shows, and Abbey even took a BOB and BOS title. It will be exciting to see how they fair out in Kansas at Nationals.
The competition was stiff, so much so that each class was a bit of a nail-biter to be honest. There were several animals on the table throughout that I'd like to see residing in the Quarry Ridge barn! In the end, Funck's bunnies won three Best of Breed titles out of four showings and took three Best Opposite of Breed titles out of four showings as well. The two most consistent rabbits of the weekend were Jameson, the 6/8 buck, and Abbey, the new junior doe. All in all, it was a real smash of a Convention! Legs were earned, some breedings and swapping happened, Mexican food was consumed, and laughs were abundant. Next stop--Kansas!
