WHY MINI REX??
I think I need a short explanation about my mini rex before we go any
further. I love my standard black otters BUT as they are pedigree and
pure colour bred, every time I get a new litter they are like peas in a
pod. There is never any surprises.
My minis, on the other hand, are
NOT pure colour bred. OK, I can hear the gasps from the purists from
here. 'Shock! Horror!', you cry. But then again, how many lop breeders
are breeding mixed colour litters?
Every time I get a new litter I
have the fascination of wondering what colours I will get this time.
Reds? Blacks? Torts? Blues? If I get a decent one, I show it. And they
can't be so bad. I've got a number of Challenge Certificates hanging
from their hutches. They have type. They have coat. And often they have
colour too.
So if you are interested in purchasing a mini rex from
me - No, they are NOT pure colour bred, but YES - They are pure mini
rexes.
Why do I breed them? - Firstly, for the fun of it. Secondly, to try & get a show quality one.
Can you show it? - Possibly. I will let you know whether or not it will be suitable for showing.
Will it make a good pet?- DEFINITELY!!
Can I guarantee what colours it will produce if you breed it? - NO.
Mini Rex Rabbits are priced from £25 each.
I
hope this will answer any questions about my minis that you may have.
