**HAPPY SUMMER 2013**
First off, we wish that everyone is having a wonderful summer and keeping the bunnies (and themselves!) cool!!! :) There is so much to say about the past year; it certainly has been monumental!! This July we celebrated 15 YEARS of raising, breeding, and showing rabbits. WOW. Time flies!!! Cheers to 15 years and many more :)
Since obtaining my judges license last August I have had so many wonderful opportunities that I am so thankful for. I've learned so much and had a lot of fun in the process. I'm looking forward to many more awesome years!
We had a very good spring for all the rabbits; Mini Rex, Florida Whites, and Satins!!! Many Best of Breed and Best of Opposite Sex wins as well as major wins such as Best in Shows, Reserve in Shows, and Best in Specialty wins :) We are now turning our attention to many of our lovely juniors that were born this spring. Hoping they will follow in the footsteps set before them :)
Last but not least, it is time to focus our attention on the 2013 ARBA Convention that is going to be held in non other than... PENNSYLVANIA!!!! The group of folks in District 9 is working tirelessly to ensure that this convention is one to remember :) I am grateful and excited to be a part of the group :)
We are looking forward to the fall show season and the chance to see many of our wonderful friends. Our fall travels will take us all the way up to Maine and then we will mostly be on the east coast and Ohio for the early part. As always, we will have beautiful animals available in both Mini Rex and Florida Whites, so do not hesitate to contact us :)
Wishing everyone all the best!! :)

**Dog Days of Summer**
I hope everyone is coping with the heat as best they can!! We have been very fortunate that our bunnies handle the heat well :) I have been incredibly busy working with judges towards my judges license... I work my 8th and final work assist on August 5th in NY. I can't wait!! We have done very well at our summer shows... finishing Grand Championships on a number of our Mini Rex as well as winning some top awards. GC Briallu Lorna won BEST IN SHOW at the GAA show in July 2012 and RESERVE IN SHOW at the "Show Your Buns" for Autism show in June 2012. She is now fat and happy expecting her first litter at the end of August :) We are looking forward to the fall show season and hope everyone is having a relaxing and fun summer!!
We will be posting our 2012 ARBA Convention Sales in early August... so check back soon!

Are the Dog Days of Summer Over Yet???
As summer of 2011 comes to an end we are looking forward to fall; cooler temperatures, lots of shows, breeding for Nationals, and of course more fun trips and times with bunny friends!!! It has been a very hot, wet summer and we hope to see some cooler temps heading our way soon. We had lots of success with our summer breedings for both the Mini Rex and the Florida Whites. We traveled to Michigan, South Carolina, and south western Ohio this summer for big shows and were very pleased with how we did!! Our fall show season started with a bang at the West Branch RB show where we took BOB and BOSB with both the Mini Rex and Florida Whites with all home-bred animals!
The 2011 ARBA Convention in Indianpolis is quickly approaching! We of course can't wait for Convention... this will be our 8th Convention in a row!! YIKES! =) We, as always, will have a number of animals available for pre-sale in addition to animals available at Convention. Please contact me if you are interested in something!
Continue to check the website for lots of updates and photos!!! We hope you enjoy your visit to Briallu Rabbitry on the web and come back soon!!! =)
