NO water.....filthy bedding......and the only person in the building that brought a fan was...you guessed it, yours truly. It was very hot and there were multiple rabbits in carriers together laying on each other. Where oh where is the compassion for the animal??? Where is the common sense, where is the the conscience level of these people. I even heard one individual say that they were hot and tired and that they were going to leave the rabbits in their carriers until morning, are you kidding me? </span>linda cassellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03249344384941433586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5333384600936512352.post-22612913043655964332011-04-10T12:47:00.000-07:002011-04-10T12:52:34.429-07:00BIS OPEN B OLD BETHPAGE NY 4/10/11SILVERTONE GLORY DAYZ .........BIS open b 7 shows 2010 ARBA convention BOB BISS Rochestrer ny Jan 2011 BIS Fulton open A March 2011 BIS Old Bethpage open B April 2011 what a doe!

I took the time to read the NARBC breed artical . This artical decreed that those of use who do not do fibre arts, spin or work with the wool are not "complete" Angora people who can not really appreciate the ANGORA RABBIT. Persons who only show rabbits are somehow less than capable and lacking in knowledge. I am very disappointed that the NARBC club would take such a position on the value of breeders who only show rabbits. I have many friends and dedicated Angora breeders that must sadly be deemed to not be "complete"...........I am just wondering if the spinners and fibre artists who buy our wool and DO NOT raise rabbits.......they must just as saddly not be "complete" Let me say here that the edititorial comments may only refect the author and not the club, however they are written and published under the banner of NARBClinda cassellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03249344384941433586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5333384600936512352.post-1304143053980432852011-03-28T14:36:00.000-07:002011-03-28T14:43:15.365-07:00BEST IN SHOW show A Fulton NY 3/26/11<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C_WMqI6bbz4/TZEA50SqLlI/AAAAAAAAAUI/mnfCTQ0RcEU/s1600/glory%2Bdayz%2Barba%2Bpro.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589249605832945234" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C_WMqI6bbz4/TZEA50SqLlI/AAAAAAAAAUI/mnfCTQ0RcEU/s400/glory%2Bdayz%2Barba%2Bpro.jpg" /></a> <br /><div>SILVERTONE GLORY DAYZ wins BIS at 14 mos. </div><br /><div>she was BOB at ARBA convention ...in Nov.</div><br /><div>BISS in Jan .

The English Angoras only have 2 Varieties (try Polish, Jerseys, Mini Rex etc. that take up the whole show day with color and varieties one after the other)<br /><br />English Angoras NEED the brokens to help the numbers shown.<br />Brokens should be evaluated on the show table.The good ones will be successful. The others will<br />not, just like the white and the colored rabbits.<br /><br />......these are purebred English angoras not mixed breed animals. IT IS ONLY A PATTERN OF COLORS ALREADY APPROVED. This pattern has been in EA for more than 30 years.<br /><br />2. English Angoras that are presented are taken care of every day since the day they are born! Not only do we have to take care of the body and mind; the coat takes a minimum of 1 1/2 hours per week PER RABBIT ................add that up.<br /><br />3. Angora people can not raise 35 to God knows how many animals for presentation and then only bring the 8 that are the best....other breeds raise many many animals then bring a few.........we can not do that because of the intense coat care.<br /><br />4. The "committee" in general has NO experience in Angoras ...the care of the Angora ...the modern coat of the English Angora and the EXTREME physical time it takes to raise an angora. They also have very little on hands experience evaluating a SECOND coat and its properties. Very few if any have ever raised an Angora from a baby. Angoras are a complicated animal to keep; besides maintaining good flesh and tone the wool has rigorous nutrition and grooming requirements.<br /><br />I was there during the several hours that the rabbits were "evaluated" One committee member in particular rough handled the animals almost beyond what many of us watching could endure!<br />Frankly he was not respectful of the animal.....and not respectful that it belonged to someone else!<br /><br />and that: as Forrest would say............is all I have to say about that.<br />Linda Cassellalinda cassellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03249344384941433586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5333384600936512352.post-56918227134120239962010-12-21T17:54:00.000-08:002010-12-21T17:58:28.587-08:00My family in front of the lighthouse<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_M7PQw7XwES8/TRFadxCjnlI/AAAAAAAAAS4/5SGmpocMCPU/s1600/tricia%2Bfrank%2Band%2Bi%2Blighthouse.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 243px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553319282951298642" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_M7PQw7XwES8/TRFadxCjnlI/AAAAAAAAAS4/5SGmpocMCPU/s400/tricia%2Bfrank%2Band%2Bi%2Blighthouse.jpg" /></a> Montauck LI<br /><div></div>linda cassellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03249344384941433586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5333384600936512352.post-49795793548917679472010-12-19T14:45:00.000-08:002010-12-19T14:46:46.034-08:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_M7PQw7XwES8/TQ6LSNwaBYI/AAAAAAAAASw/rAH8USX6Igk/s1600/lighthouse%2B12-19-10.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 130px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 98px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552528535640999298" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_M7PQw7XwES8/TQ6LSNwaBYI/AAAAAAAAASw/rAH8USX6Igk/s400/lighthouse%2B12-19-10.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div>linda cassellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03249344384941433586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5333384600936512352.post-72297158642934695882010-12-07T17:48:00.000-08:002010-12-09T14:46:14.545-08:00SILVERTONE GLORY DAYZ CONVENTION BOB<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_M7PQw7XwES8/TP7kF0BiTMI/AAAAAAAAASo/ouGo00udEgM/s1600/IMG_0751.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548122579482594498" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_M7PQw7XwES8/TP7kF0BiTMI/AAAAAAAAASo/ouGo00udEgM/s400/IMG_0751.JPG" /></a><br /><div>Here we are a month later all dressed up and no place to go.......Glory <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Dayz</span> is waiting for Jan. 2011 to go to a show.

Win Loose or Draw; is only possible when rules of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">protocol</span> are followed.<br />Bragging rights are only RIGHT when animals are judged for what they are and not by who the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">owners</span> are.<br /><br />The Standard of Perfection does not include zip codes.linda cassellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03249344384941433586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5333384600936512352.post-69687980421521360442010-11-22T15:44:00.000-08:002010-12-01T19:40:29.043-08:00BOSV Colored EA 1st colored sr. does<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_M7PQw7XwES8/TOsBzUrDy7I/AAAAAAAAASA/qLKv8cljF3Y/s1600/047.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542525747643796402" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_M7PQw7XwES8/TOsBzUrDy7I/AAAAAAAAASA/qLKv8cljF3Y/s400/047.JPG" /></a><br /><div> </div><div>STAR BUCK'S SINGLE LADY ...........out of Silvertone Ricki Lake </div><div>bred by Marcus Rhoden</div><br /><div>now owned by me....</div><br /><div>the fleece below is hers. </div>linda cassellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03249344384941433586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5333384600936512352.post-24218509123549703972010-11-20T19:35:00.000-08:002010-11-20T19:38:27.682-08:00I bought a .....................<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_M7PQw7XwES8/TOiUJMh6j6I/AAAAAAAAARw/iDKb_HsdJaw/s1600/052.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541842227182604194" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_M7PQw7XwES8/TOiUJMh6j6I/AAAAAAAAARw/iDKb_HsdJaw/s400/052.JPG" /></a><br /><div>Please notice the blower next to the fleece</div>linda cassellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03249344384941433586noreply@blogger.com
