This weekend I completed the update of all my show records, including each rabbits' records online. However, seeing it in summary form is a good reminder to me how my rabbitry stands and how it got to where it is.  I posted this to offer perspective for my readers as well. I am hoping you will understand that earning legs and sweeps points, and winning at rabbit shows would not have happened at all if I had not actually attended shows... many shows and some when my rabbits did not win anything. I had to attend to have the opportunity to win, but going to any show is never a guarantee of winning.

There was a combination of circumstances my first year showing that contributed to reaching my goal faster than I thought I would. I had only a few rabbits as I was starting out. There were so few Silver Foxes breeders and rabbits being shown in the shows I
