I am all green with envy. The only show I ever went to was 10 years ago, in the Chicago area, and most of the other mousies there were pretty pathetic looking, even compared to mine. I left my best ones at home, and took an honorable mention for a long haired marked agouti satin doe. One serious breeder had English types, and I did buy one. On top of that, several people disregarded quarantine procedures, one breeder showed up with meeces that had mites....it was demoralizing, to say the least.
So party on, all youse meezicle people. I love to see new mousies; I even stop and look at all the little furries when getting supplies at the big box pet stores around here. Rarely tempted to buy, though. There was one really nice blue hooded rattie girl I saw.....
Well, just a few more days. I'm coming, but I've got loads to plan. The trip is going to take up most of the time (since I'm from Holland), but I hope it's worth it!
I am still coming to the Bradford show but I will not be showing!!! I am collecting some mice and just having a look around. Be nice to see everyone and talk to you, cant wait for the show!!!
Can I just ask, if I leave my entry on John's answer machine will he pick it up? Do I take it that he has received it or will he call to confirm? or should I call him another night to confirm he has received them?
I am on my way home still, had a lovely weekend. Came home with trios of creams, pews, blacks, choc tans, variegated and reds. Oh and some bandeds. Nothing ike jumping in with both feet!
Nice to see everyone again. Dave told me off for spending the whole day gabbing :roll: Anyway, once I get the photos off my camera I'll post a few on here.
Oh, I never saw the rumpwhites! I did see some Herefords in chocolate and one in a lighter colour (lilac?). I even elicited a "yes, that is cute!" response from OH re. the Herefords but he still won't let me have any-----or any rabbits either (saw a lovely marten sable Polish rabbit I was very taken with and I liked the Thriantas too).
had a great weekend, thanks to everyone in the mice area who talked to me and explained everything, and i've got a lovely trio of creams to start me off (ok i chickened out of the siamese for now)... plus my rabbits did fantastic to boot so im still on cloud nine
