2023 Barrie Fair DRCBA Show

 

Big fair shows are so much fun! Lots of people to talk to, lots of action on the rabbit show tables to watch, and if you want to step away, there's tons of fair action happening only steps away. Horse shows, sheep show, chickens, ducks, cattle, alpacas, and let's not forget fair food. 

Our English Angoras stayed at home this time and our Satin Angoras came out to shine (haaa haa). Yes, those are broken English you see being judged in the picture above. Unlike ARBA, the Dominion club recognizes them as a showable variety. 

We had a total of 9 Satin Angoras shown by 3 exhibitors. Under judge John Richter, our Chinchilla girl Electric Bonanza took Best of Breed while our Chocolate Agouti girl Electric Arakis took Reserve of Breed. Bonanza's brother, Electric Biscuit took the best buck category in both shows but the girls had him beat for the top honours. In Dominion shows, the 1st and 2nd breed placements are awarded based on merit only regardless of gender. In our 2nd show under judge Mark Stewartson, Arakis took Best of Breed while the Reserve went to Little Hope's New Beginnings, a Black doe bred by Cai Ballantyne, shown by Nancy Duffy.

No, you can't have the funnel cake buddy

Very excited to see how these guys do as they come into their senior coats over the next couple months.
