An American (Fuzzy Lop) in Japan

The first week in December Melissa Magee and I were invited to judge rabbits by the Nippon Rabbit Club. What an amazing experience! For me, it was even more special because of the gorgeous Fuzzies we found there. There were two shows that weekend; the first one held in Kobe and then a show the next day in Nagoya.


This handsome broken tort buck was selected Reserve in Show by Melissa and Best in Show by me on Sunday, December 6 in Nagoya.

At the show in Kobe, Yumiko won Best Opposite Sex of Breed with her sable point buck.

Best of Breed at the Kobe show was owned by Hiro, shown here working with Melissa for his registrar's license.

The Best of Breed Fuzzy poses with me since Hiro is busy and she is a black doe with a lovely head.

Congratulations to the winners and thank you so much for such a fantastic trip.

Scandinavian American Fuzzy Lops???

Time to heap the congratulations on Those Norwegian Girls, Diana K and Muriel K, whose blue Fuzzy Lop, Nils (also Norwegian, ya know), won Best in Show yesterday in Oregon. It was Diana's first BIS ever, so it brought out a few tears of joy! The judges were Nita Boatman and George Germaine. It was a first for Nita too, who said she had never selected a Fuzzy for BIS in 30 years. Nils was also selected best in a Master Breeder class. Ahhhh what a handsome Fuzzy!

Have you noticed how well Fuzzies are doing on the Best in Show table?
