Welcome !! Please come in and take a look at our beautiful Rabbits.

     We run a small Rabbitry located near the Lansing, Michigan area. We try and keep our numbers to around 50 holes to make sure all our rabbits get lots of personal attention and care.

     Our personal breeding philosophy is:

1. Health
2. Temperament
3. Body & Substance
4. Intensity and Depth of Color
5. Markings

     We raise Harlequin Rabbits of the Japanese variety in all four colors, with a particular emphasis on the Chocolate and Lilac colors of the breed. The occasional Magpie sneaks in on us. :-)

     I love all the different color combinations that are available in the Harlequins. We started out with a trio of Black Japanese, but I quickly fell in love with the Chocolates and Lilacs. Our goal is to eventually develop our own line of Chocolate and Lilac Japanese Harlequins. It may not be easy, but it sure is going to be a lot of fun.

     We have worked hard to improve the quality of the coloring on our Chocolate and Lilac Japanese, and are starting to get closer to what I feel is the ideal depth of color in them. Body type and banding continues to be a struggle, but is improving.

     As if trying to breed Harlequins wasn't enough of a challenge we have added a few Rhinelanders to the herd. We will be adding pages for them in the coming months and are looking forward to our first litters this spring.

Clubs we belong to:

  •   American Rabbit Breeders Association - ARBA
  •   Michigan State Rabbit Breeders Association - MSRBA
  •   American Harlequin Rabbit Club - AHRC
  •   Upper Midwest Harlequin Rabbit Club - UMHRC
  •   Rhinelander Rabbit Club of America - RRCA

Updates:
The new website I have been working on has kind of been pushed to the back burner for awhile, hopefully it will be up and running before next year
We are currently having camera issues. Hopefully I can buy a new one soon.
