My name is Amy and I used to raise and show Holland Lops. I obtained my first stock in 2000 and had them for 10 years, always working on unique colours. In particular, tricolours and agoutis in chocolate and lilac varieties. I study coat colour extensively and many call me the "genetics wizard". Feel free to send me emails and questions, I love figuring out puzzles and helping others understand the wonders of genetics.
This year, 2010, after working for the last two years to fix the colour standard and move forward with the showing of colour Hollands and having it thrown out the window, I decided to change breeds. To find out more about my Hollands and where they are living now, check out my Holland Lop page. I love the Hollands, but it will be 2015 before the standard gets fixed and probably 2020 before things actually progress as it has become clear that the HLRSC is not interested in moving forward with colours. There is still too much of the old mentality "If it's not a tort, it's not a Holland". I know within a year or two I will be moving and need to sell out of having a whole herd anyway, so it was time to sell out to people who could continue the work in the long haul. I am proud of what I was able to do, going from poorly typed Hollands to ones who won legs and even finished out Grand Championships. Colours can and do win, and I wish lots of luck to everyone still working on them.**
I found Angoras due to crocheting. I decided I wanted some angora yarn, and one thing lead to another. Soon I was getting two French Angoras! The angora community is a lovely group of people, and the showing is much better and a lot more fun. My rabbitry is registered (#T326) with the American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA). In addition, I am a member of the Holland Lop Rabbit Specialty Club (HLRSC) , and United Angora Rabbit Club (UARC).
