Hello, Angora friends! I made a little change of plans for this week’s live. Instead of diving into every little detail, I decided to start with a friendly overview of rabbit show sanctions. What Is a Sanction, Anyway? Sanctions are one of those things we hear about all the time at rabbit shows, but unless you have been the person responsible for purchasing them, submitting reports, or following the points, the entire process can be a little confusing. In this live, I talk about: What a show...

Hi All, Well, this week's YouTube live reached all the way back to the beginnings of the Giant Angora in the United States.

As I worked through what happened next, I found much more than a list of presentations and ARBA decisions. I found breeders who kept trying when one rabbit missed weight by only two ounces, when a senior buck died...

Hello, my fluffy friends, Holy cannoli, I am officially inundated with baby bunnies. This week’s live began with the best of intentions. I had notes, a plan, and even a short lesson ready for anyone thinking about attending their first rabbit show. Of course, I also had boxes full of three-week-old Giant Angora babies hopping in every direction. Around here, the bunnies usually win. Before baby-bunny playtime, I shared a simple message for new show people: just go. You do not have to enter a...

Hi Friends, This week’s live video started with clippers, but you already know the baby bunnies were going to steal the show. I compared the Wahl Bravura, Gimars and AJELU clippers based on my own experience using them with Angoras. The Wahl remains my clear winner, while the two budget clippers are staying here as emergency backups. I also shared my simple routine for cleaning and oiling the blades. Then we visited several of the two-week-old litters. Harmony’s babies are doing beautifully,...

Good morning, fuzzy friends! In this week’s video, I shared an update on our current litters and talked about one of my favorite big-picture breeding topics: crossbreeding and outcrossing. Aren’t these sheep ears the cutest? I wore them in this week’s live video and had to give credit to the maker — The Recycled Ram on Instagram: @therecycledram Baby Giant Explosion We have officially entered baby bunny explosion mode here at Fuzzy Vaughn Farm. The nest boxes are busy, the babies are growing,...
