The 2026 Netherland Dwarf National show came and went. What a whirlwind of a day. I brought a show team of 6 rabbits and thankfully most of them held onto their coats for the show. Some notable placing:
3rd Chestnut Sr Doe in a large class!
2nd Chocolate Agouti Sr Buck
2nd Chocolate Agouti Jr Doe
2nd, 3rd, and 4th Tan Sr Does
3rd place colored fur with a Tan Sr Doe! (This was a very nice surprise)
Also a special congrats to Outhouse Farms for a BOSV Tan (Youth) with Eat’N Acres’ “Burnt Marshmallow”! So happy to see our stock thriving in other barns.
The show was wonderfully run: efficient, fun, and ended in time to rest and shower before banquet! Thank you to the host club staff and ANDRC officers who made this show run smoothly!
I also wanted to say thank you to Peyton Head for supporting the club and purchasing my cross stitch from the club auction. She told me she purchased it for her grandma Gail Krall who I know will appreciate it. It also brings me a little extra joy knowing this piece will stay here in Texas!
Congrats to all the amazing breeders on their wins and placing today. There were a lot of varieties with deep, competitive classes; the netherland dwarf breeders can be proud to maintain a standard of high quality rabbits on the show table.
We still have the speciality shows tomorrow morning before heading home so we’re not quite done showing yet. Wishing safe travels for everyone making their way home tomorrow.
Also thanks to Tim Krueger for tag-teaming this national show with me. With Toby at home, it was very nice to team up and tackle this show together!
