2021 ARBA Show Komoka

 Finally! After waiting for over a year, the rabbit shows in Ontario are resuming! Over 400 entries came out to this much awaited event. Exhibitors travelled from Quebec, Michigan, and even the East coast. There were 3 main all breed shows plus multiple breed specialty shows. Judges for the shows were as follows:

Show A: Bryan Shirk, MI

Show B: Jeremy Watmuff, MI

Show C: Kyle Jacobucci, NY

Specialty: Joe Colucci, OH

Montecristo saying hello

This was a super fun event and a wonderful learning experience. I only brought two 10wk old babies, Electric Melody and Electric Montecristo. They were not at all competitive at this age but it was very helpful to hear what the various judges saw in them as their strengths and weaknesses. I can't wait for the next show in the spring by which time I will be able to bring some older and more competitive rabbits.

English Angora specialty show judging

While I didn't bring home any prizes, it was still a victorious day for our breed. A stunning English Angora named Kikouchou bred and handled by Livia Delattre from QC won Best in Show for all 3 main shows as well as the Angora Specialty show.
