Best in Show: Hamilton's LH53 "Sugar" Black Jr Doe
Owned & Bred by Lily Hamilton
Show A- Blood, Sweat, and Tears Rabbit Club - May 31, 2025
BOB: Hamilton’s LH53 ‘Sugar’ Black JR Doe
Today marked three generations of BIS rabbits from the same line. Ironically they are all black does!
I started my rabbit journey in December of 2022, I bought a few dutch and started breeding straight away. In one of those breedings, I got one of my first home grown Dutch LH6 ‘Peaches’.
Peaches was really the start to all of my craziness for my Dutch, she has had litters with multiple colors which I use mostly as breeders. One of the litters she had I kept two babies, One being this black doe LH22 known as ‘Lucy’ (Female name for Lucifer- hence she is very.. cage aggressive!).
Then after convention I decided I was going to breed Lucy for NDS babies. Lucy gave me two gorgeous does that I didn’t think I would ever part with. LH52, known as ‘Spice’ and LH53, known as ‘Sugar’.
Sugar and Spice have switched about every show I have shown them at, and I definitely think they will both be staying for some more babies ��.
I’m so extremely grateful I started this hobby. I have met so many amazing people, and I will continue to! So many judges and friends have helped me with my herd and I cannot thank everyone enough.
