My latest going ons........

Yea......Cher had her first litter of babies on 8/25! NINE! and all are doing wonderfully! I never dreamed she'd have so many! I love watching them grow so fast the first couple weeks. I'll keep posting!

I finally got my website up and running. I think it looks great! http://ljangoras.tripod.com/index.html

Let me know what you think.

I've decided, especially now with Cher's huge litter, that I need to make some space, so I've posted some bucks with pictures on my Sale page. Obviously, I can't evaluate the babies just yet, but if your interested in something particular- let me know. I'll be starting a waiting list for them and will make my final decision on keepers at 8-12 wks.

I'll be attending the Cobleskill and Hamburg, NY shows in September and will able to deliver there or other arrangements can be made- including shipping.

Overdue update...Thanks for the reminder Linda!

OK, so I was busy with the usual, we all get caught up in it.....life! On Saturday 7/12, Eclipse, my black doe kindled 5 kits. 4 are thriving-3 bucks, 1 doe(black). Their sire is from my first litter, a REW buck, Jasper. Unfortunately Cher did not have babies and has been rebred, due this Sunday 8/17. Wish me luck with these ones.......

Because if my crazy picture loving friend, I snapped a few this evening and had to post them for her!

Top black one is a doe, bottom black one is a buck, and the two REW's are bucks.

New news..........

Well..............day 28. I bred two does that are due on Saturday. So after a long hot, humid night cleaning cages and scrubbing things up, the nestboxes went in. Wish me luck and I'll keep updating............

ooopppps.....clarification on the below post

Ok, so when I was writing the post, the pictures were offset and my descriptions were clear. However now that is posted and they're all in columns.............well, I guess the basic idea is still implied. E-mail me if you'd really like to know who's who for sure...............

Updates with pics.......

With the show season slowed down, I know I haven't posted much. I've been working, playing catch up around the house, and enjoying my time with the bunnies and finally got my first 100% angora spun up. I've started a scarf with it and am loving it!

For now, I'm going to post some pics of Bunnies that I have available. And some that I'm somewhat undecided on. Feel free to e-mail me at ljangoras@aol.com or sweets6031@aol.com with any questions. I would really like to move some bunnies as I'm expecting new litters next week and would like to be sure to have room.

I'm willing to ship in some instances and/or deliver/meet with the buyer covering expenses-gas prices stink.

The 2 pics of REW's are my Sr bucks that would be the sires to the litters that I'm expecting. Both are would be first time fathers. I'm 100% sure that the one doe bred to the buck on the left took (her 3rd litter), but am uncertain about the other doe/buck. She would be having her first litter and I just haven't been able to palpate her positively. I'm still new to this so I'm hoping that her abdominal muscles are just still stronger and more "rigid" having never had babies. E-mail any words of wisdom..............

The colored buns are Junior does that are littermates available for sale. They were born 3/6/08. Left is a blue tort and right is a black tort doe. They are sweethearts, out of great ancestors that are developing incredibly. I'm stunned by the density and texture on them. I've decided to only for sure keep their sister Annette at this time-her picture to come soon.

The very top right colored bun-a blue tort-I just couldn't resist posting. He is littermate to the does I have posted here, but I'm happy/sorry to say that he is taken and will be going to his new home very soon. He's one incredible buck for only 18 wks old-the body, the density, texture and length already. He's a hard one to let go, but I just can't keep them all. I look forward to seeing this buck on the show tables in the future and hope he remembers where he came from so he doesn't kick my butt too badly.....lol. I just had to share with those who have seen me around since begining only a year ago this month with one carefully selected doe and some very wonderfully supportive people in the New York area that have helped me learn and grow. Thank you, thank you!

Here's what's available!!!!!!!!!

After much pondering, I have finally decided which babies to make available to others. These are by Countryside Promise x Silvertone Jesse James with Grand Champions and 2007 ARBA Convention winners on both sides!

It was tough, but here are 2 blue tort does made available for $200.00 each. The girls are the top 2 pictures.

I have decided to post both bucks (1 black tort and 1 blue tort) with the option of pulling one off the sale list if not spoken for by 12-16 wks. The boys are $150.00 each and are shown in the bottom 2 pictures.

At only 10 wks old, these babies are incredible.........I may have to revisit this cross!!!!!

I plan on attending the Ithaca, NY show and am tempted to enter Frankfort and/or Cortland next month. Unfortunately Gouvernour is out of the question due to family commitments-imagine my girl wanting a Sweet Sixteen party! I feel old..........

Delivery can be made at shows, may be willing to ship and/or drive some distance-purchaser to pay expenses.

I can be e-mailed at ljangoras@aol.com
Thank you..........

Canandaigua Show and Babies

YEAH!!!!! Countryside Cher took BOV at the Canadaigua Angora Specialty Show. I'm so proud. It was a wonderful show-I had a great time. I'm not going to be able to make the Gouvenour Show and haven't quite decided on which ones we may be attending next. Almost definately Ithaca, and maybe Frankfort- but that ones a ways, so we'll see.
My friend Charlotte stopped by and had a gift of hand dyed, carded angora blend wool for me. It's stunning and I can't wait to make something beautiful with it. Thank you Char-it was soooo good to see you.
Both Cher and Jasper were registered. Jasper is still available. I've decided that his coat is becoming to difficult for me to maintain and now with the weanlings I need to make room and/or manage my time better. That being said, I will only keep his coat on for 1-2 more weeks. He's got one leg and is now registered-just waiting the papers. He's half-sibling to Countryside Paris who took Youth BIS at 2007 ARBA Convention with Colin Burns. I'm asking $100 with coat or $75 once I've clipped him. He will make a wonderful herd-sire. So please contact me ASAP if you're interested and want to finish him off.
I have made my decision on my newest litter and will be posting updated pics within a couple days. Still available are 1-2 blue tort does-deposit pending on 1 and the blue tort buck. I'm reserving the black tort buck for a final decision at 12 wks-may be convinced to sell if someone is that interested.
Updated pics to come soon!!!!!!!
