This is my first color project that started in 2002. However at that time I had a lot of type problems and issues with getting live litters so I culled out of most of my stock and started over. After going through two phases of about a year each with no litters, I found some nice dilute stock (creams and the like) from Kristi of Kristi's Kritters and was able to get things moving again in early 2005. My tri gene comes from Tune's lines which were brought over to Michigan by Mara Spicer, her lines are the ones these tris eventually go back to. At this point I have a lot of Kristi's lines that are Saynora and Tommie based mixed in for the dilute gene, and Holland Haven lines for the chocolate.

ARR's Chaya
Chocolate Tricolor Senior Doe
Registered
Chaya is my first chocolate tricolor to live past weaning. Her name means "to be alive" in Hebrew, and she is called this for a reason. Her mom, Andromeda, got a GI block the week before she was due and it was touch and go for that week until finally she pulled through and kindled live babies. Chaya was one of her surviving babies. I showed her a few times, and she does okay but is nothing "special" for the show tables so she is now one of my most reliable brood does. She does carry dilute and this will prove helpful as I work for lilac tricolors. She needs better pictures :)

ARR's Trifecta
Blue Tricolor Senior Doe
Registered
Trifecta is a small doe but wide. Little light on bone but for her size it's not bad. She does have some length to her midsection but overall is a nice solid doe. She has one first place, but sadly we were missing an exhibitor so no leg was received. She does carry chocolate and is a proven brood doe.

ARR's Yin
Cream
Junior Doe
My little cutie - and she is about 5 weeks old in these photos. I'm hoping the ears don't go long! Right now she looks and feels pretty nice, so hopefully she will be the same only bigger when she grows up. She has a 2/3 chance of carrying chocolate.

Rabbit Hill's Cashew
Cream Senior Doe
Registered
I picked up Cashew from Christina Topf at the 2007 ARBA Convention. I love her hindquarters, I hope to slap those onto the rest of my herd. As an added plus, she carries chocolate!

ARR's Treviso
Broken Chocolate Orange Jr Doe
She has started to mature into a lovely young junior. I love her head profile and the width is coming in. She has nice crown placement and really nice ears, she just has a narrow crown. Her body is solid, full, and firm, and she is quite short. She lacks a bit of depth and I hope she widens out more overall. I was originally selling her, pulled her out to take pictures for my sale page and there was (and is) just something about her. So for now, she stays.

ARR's Pumpernickel
Cream Senior Buck
Registered ~ 1 G.C. Leg
He is a very nice buck who is just maturing into his senior buck-ness. His leg is as a senior, and I believe he just needs to mature some more before really competing well. He is a nice balenced solid buck, sure with some faults, but he just lacks the overall mass still to compete as a senior. He is barely a year so we'll see how things go.

ARR's Dedekind
Black Harlequin Junior Buck
Just a young junior, about 3 months old. He's starting to mature, the bone is getting more chunky, and he's starting to fill out. Right now I just wish that crown wasn't sooooo slipped and that he was wider overall, but hey, he's young and a lot of growing is yet to come.

Brock's Fallen Ear's Leonardo
Broken Orange Senior Buck
Registered
I co-own Leo with Kristi. We saw him in the HLRSC auction at the Grand Rapids convention and just had to have him! He is 1/2 Pitney and a very nice massive buck. He will be a total outcross for me, and I hope it works well. If not...oh well I tried :)

ARR's Enrique
Red Junior Buck
Enrique is named after a friend and coworker who really likes my bunnies but cannot have one :( He's a nice little buck who is in the uglies right now, hence the younger baby picture is posted here ha-ha. He will be helpful with the rufous for my tricolors, and then when I can get back into reds, I have an F4 to start with!
