Champagne D'Argente, Creme D'Argente and Am. Chins. I'm told they dress out the best with the D'Argents beating the Am. Chins hands down. That said, I'm getting Bruns (D'Argente related). I'm hearing of amazing weights on the fryers.

I've heard of Bruns! Someone on another forum I'm on has them. They are very cool, I considered putting them on "The List of Things to Raise".

Hhmmm...I've never heard of Bruns. Something to look into!

I was supposed to pick some up from Devon Ward (Canada) at Convention but I wasn't quite ready yet. I've made plans to get them from her at this year's Convention. I hear her waiting list is growing rapidly but she's an experienced rabbit breeder and showman and is great about giving updates on how her juniors grow and develop.

The breed has got the attention of ARBA members. They've got a working standard in Canada (or are they recognized?). The COD process for ARBA is shorter if the breed is already recognized in other countries, I'm told.

In any case, I'm impressed with their reported growth rates and they remind me of that Mother's brand of iced oatmeal cookies so I like them.

Since they'd be a meat project ,and I do well with my Woolies, I don't mind working on improving the Bruns as a side project while someone else works on the COD. I'd be getting them to feed my family and as an education for me anyway, so win, win, win.

I talked to Devon Ward too, she's on another forum that I'm on, I saw them on her website. I think they're beautiful, but I'm zeroing in on a different nonrecognized breed and I think I can only handle one at a time

Do tell.

Haha, well, here I'll start a new thread for them. I'm sure I'll get some interesting feedback.
