                       Chocolate Self Bred her at Tor View Oct 07

Here we have Galaxy what a surprise he was, we had no idea there was Chocolate in our lines.But then again Rosie Malone has never failed to amaze us.She really is the most fantastic Doe.

Galaxy has been mated to quite a few of our big typey Does, we have created some really good sized Chocolate carriers.He only made 8lbs in weight, but what he lacked in size he made up for in many other ways. He has a cracking head, good strong Shoulders, & nice chunky front legs.

It's now time for him to step down & our new Chocolate import (Bandit) will hopefully carry on by putting the size into our Chocolate lines.

Galaxy has now been nutered, He will stay here has a pet, we are hopeing he will live with our lovely old Mini Lop Doe Maggie.

The Bucks below have now moved to pastures new. Some have gone to help fellow Breeders improve there own lines, some have been retired has pets. All have played a big part in helping us to create the Stock we have today.
