Bayou has a beautiful body on her, very round and full. Her markings are all pretty nice except a little uneven on the cheeks, but that hasn't stopped her on the show table. She was Best of Breed winner out of over 300 Dutch at the 2009 Midwest Fall Classic. A very exciting win for me. Bayou has had a couple of litters, but she will continue to be shown as long as she keeps coming back into condition!

Lena is a compact-bodied doe with good type and markings. She was never shown as a junior because I needed seniors to show when she was only 5 months old. When she was very young, she had an abscess on her chest that I thought healed up nicely. Low and behold, one day as a senior I noticed she has a black spot on her chest. So her show career is over, but motherhood is her calling, she is a great producer! Even though she is one of the oldest rabbits in my barn, she always has one of the nicest coats of fur!

Hume's Big Bertha
Black Sr. Doe
Winnings: 1 leg of G.C.
View pedigree, offspring record or show record 

Bertie was born with a GORGEOUS big "buck" head. Naturally she was dubbed "Big Bertha" or "Bertie" for short. She has very good markings, excellent leg structure and full hindquarters. She is one of the oldest does in the barn. Unfortunately she is the last remaining daughter of my Tommy D herdsire in my barn and I'm not sure how much longer she'll keep having litters.

Gwen is a sharp looking doe with beautiful type. Great hindquarters and solid shoulders. She has nice markings, except a slight hook into one mouth. Gwen has had an outstanding show career with three Best in Show wins in three different states. Very proud of this girl! Her babies have done well on the show table, but she herself keeps finding her way back to the show table once in awhile!

These days with my work schedule I don't always make it to the shows, but as long as I get everything around, my parents are more than willing to show my rabbits for me. Julie, my setp-mom, told me that Janet Bowers had a really typey black doe for sale at a show I wasn't at. Janet lives close by, so we visited her rabbitry and I just fell in love with this doe's type and bone substance. I'd love to get some of Jett's bigger body on some of my finer-boned blacks when she is old enough to start breeding!

Hume's Destiny 
Blue Sr. Doe
Winnings: 2 legs of G.C.
View pedigree, offspring record or show record 

 Destiny is a big-bodied doe with a great head and ear on her. She also has a very good quality coat on her. She didnt get much of a show career because I was in such deserate need of blue brood does that I bred her as soon as she was old enough. I look forward to seeing if I can combine her width and shoulder structure with the height of my blue bucks.

B & J's Bubbly 
Blue Sr. Doe
Winnings: 1 leg of G.C.
View pedigree, offspring record or show record 

I really needed a new blue brood doe, and I have really liked the looks of Briony Barnes of Kansas' rabbits. She has had good luck crossing her line into mine, so I thought I'd try too. Bubbly has some marking flaws, but she has a lovely topline and a nice shoulder on her, something I need more of in my blues. I am excited to incorporate her into my herd! You'll have to excuse her picture, she was over three weeks pregnant and had put on quite a bit of weight! I will try to get a new one soon.

    Hume's Tawny
Gray Sr. Doe
Winnings: 10 legs of G.C.
View pedigree, offspring record or show record  

Tawny was my first really nice gray out of my gold/gray cross. She has beautiful surface color and ring definition. Her topline is superb, and she has great hindquarters. I wish her head was a little wider, but other than that I really can't say anything bad about her. She has great markings and has done excellent on the show table. She is both a brood doe and she is on the show table when she is in condition!

Blythe/Stelzer K502 (Rita)
Gray Sr. Doe
Winnings: Unknown
View pedigree or offspring record  

I bought "Rita" at the 2006 ARBA Convention from breeder Rita Stelzer of South Dakota. She is a massive doe that pushes the weight limit, but she has awesome hindquarters, something my gray bucks lack. She usually has huge litters and crosses well on every buck I've bred her to so far. She continually outproduces herself and throws OUTSTANDING babies both gray and steel (when bred to a black). In her older age, she is harder to breed, but I don't mind keeping her around anyway!

Katie's Dar 
Gold Sr. Doe
View pedigree or offspring record

I finally decided to toy around with a gold to try to brighten up and distinguish the bands on my ring color for my grays. Dar hails from the Bickelhaupt barn in Ohio. She has some major marking flaws, a tied elbow and two split stops, but her type and gorgeous head make up for it. She has a wonderful personality and is a favorite for many people. And her babies are beautiful as well! 

McKinley's 463G (Ellen)
Gray Sr. Doe
Winnings: 3 legs of G.C.
View pedigree or offspring record

Longtime Michigan breeder, Ed McKinley, was having an auction to sell his rabbits. Ed is known for his lovely grays, and I wanted a new gray doe. I had to work, but sent my parents with a strict list of what to look for in rabbits. They brought me home 3 gray does, and Ellen was my favorite in body. She is older, but I have had no problem getting her bred everytime I try! Ellen has 3 legs recorded by her former owner.

McKinley's 485G (Emma)
Gray Sr. Doe
Winnings: Unknown

Emma is another doe I got from Ed McKinley's sale. She is a nice doe overall. Well-marked, nice type and color. She's older, but an easy breeder. I have been beyond thrilled with her babies; they are super typey with lovely substance of body and great color. Great head and ears as well. I am so glad to have been lucky enough to add this doe to my gray herd!

    Hume's Cecelia
Gray Sr. Doe
Winnings: 7 legs of G.C.
View pedigree, offspring record or show record  

Cecelia is a really typey doe with great gray color and ring definition. She has always done very well on the show table but now I am really excited to use her in my breeding program, her first babies are looking promising!

Neve is such a nice looking doe, very good type with an excellent coat of fur. She was having an exceptional show career when I accidently left a carrier unlatched at a show and her brother hopped the divider and bred her. Her babies are actually quite nice and against everything I have said, I have decided to keep her on as a brood doe. But in the meantime, I am hoping she will be making a few more appearances on the show table!
