Our Foundation Mini Rex
Below are some of the rabbits that no longer reside with us or have crossed the rainbow bridge, but have helped make our Mini Rex herd. We love these buns!
Bucks
GC SPH's Backdraft
Sire: KT's Flameproof - Black Dam: SPH's Looking Good - Broken blue Variety: Black Legs: 3 Best Opposite sex of variety, shows A,C and D at the 2016 AZ State Convention Backdraft was a gorgeous buck that I was very blessed to have! I loved so much about this buck. His depth is awesome and his width matches perfectly. Beautiful head and topline and a cute, bucky head. I absolutely adored this beautiful, sweet buck and was so sad to lose him. His legacy lives on through a lovely daughter and grandchildren. |
SPH's Cashed
Sire: SPH's Kilo - Blue Dam: Sunlake's Elsa - white Variety: Sable Legs: 2 Cashed is a beautiful buck with type and fur to burn! Beautiful color and shading and excellent texture to his fur. He earned a group win at the 2019 ARBA national convention, placing 1st sable senior buck. Although I no longer work on shaded, Cashed remains a foundation buck as I have retained grand children of his that did not inherit the shaded gene. Cashed now resides in Phoenix AZ with Dae Lycos. |

Every rabbit on his pedigree is a registered grand champion.

Berlena's Primo

Dam: Berlena's Hum - Broken Castor Lutino Carrier Variety: Shadow Lutino Legs: Not Shown Primo is a handsome F4 mini rex project buck that was sold to me by Berlena Reynolds, the only other mini rex breeder working on Lutino mini rex. He was a good stepping stone for improved lutino carriers with correct fur and type from different lines from the ones I developed. He's a feisty buck with an agreeable personality that is a very gifted breeder. Now living at Silverwood Rabbitry, Prescott, AZ |

SPH's Siniy
Sire: KT's Catnap - White
Dam: SPH's Ivanka - Black
Variety: Blue
Legs: Not Shown
This lovely doe was retained when I sold my nationally competitive shaded herd because she doesn't carry shaded and can be utilized with the lutino project. She has nice type and excellent fur and exceptional color. Her maternal grandfather is SPH's Cashed, the 2019 ARBA Convention #1 Senior Sable buck. That side of her pedigree is my best and favorite line of mine.
She produced a lovely castor lutino carrier, and is now living with a lovely breeder in New Mexico.

SPH's Grunt
Sire: Berlena's Flare - Broken Red (F3)
Dam: Berlena's Hum - Broken Castor (F3) Variety: Shadow Lutino Legs: Not Shown Grunt's story is kind of a sad one. We unfortunately lost her during the duration of her labor. Right before delivering, she lost control of her hind feet. After talking to the vet, he thought the shifting of the kits in her uterine horn squished against her spine causing the paralysis. In her panic, she injured something and had to be put down to ease the terrible pain she was in. The litter of 8 was delivered via c-section, and of those 8, 4 survived and were fostered to another mini rex doe that had lost her litter on that same day. While Grunt's contribution was brief, her legacy lives on in her offspring. |
