Retirement Buns

Here are Barrow Bunnies retired buns. Quite often we will send older or retired buns to nice pet homes but these we just couldn't bare to see go. We no longer breed from these buns but they may well have helped produce some of our current lines.



Jamie
Bred by Nivarda Stud

Genotype at-BbC?DDEE

JAMIEcomp.jpg

Jamie is a black otter buck, he is a chocolate carrier. He has lots of fantastic qualities including a thick coat, Arnold Schwatznegger type shoulders and a nice big head. He is a very sweet boy and loves nothing more than a scratch on the bum which sends him into a trance like state. He is also a very licky and cuddly boy.

Jamie had been shown by his previous owner but was never that happy to be on the bench. Therefore he was retired from exhibition and is retained by us as a very useful stud buck and much loved pet.

These days he doesn't seem really seem up for the job, prefering to have a cuddle with the ladies, so really he's just a pet of late. We hope that his son Parsnip will pick up where he left off.


Tike

Tike is a black self buck, bred from black and black otter, he is also a chocolate and blue carrier and is thus was a fantastic asset to several of our lines. He is one of our smaller bucks, weighing in at only 1.380Kg on a heavy day. Nick named 'Horny', Tike would always get the job done (in his younger days). He sired some really good type kits and brings the size down from any larger does we breed him to. Throughout his show career with his previous owner, he won several CC's and he was always a source of laughter and mischief on the table.

Tike has 5 CC & 10 stars

Fiver
Bred by Debunio Stud

Genotype ataBbCCDDEE

fiverfeb10.jpg

Fiver is a chocolate carrying black otter buck. He has such a wonderful personality and will always be one of Debbie's favourites! From an early age it was evident that he would make a nice adult but we had to wait a long time for his head to come on.

Fiver is well proportioned and his head and crown are superb. He is such a sweet, inquisitive and gentle natured boy.
Luckily for us he's also a natural born poser,when he can keep still!
