My wife and I attended the Tri-Cities Rabbit Association show held in Kennewick, Washington. It was a double show. We entered four Blanc de Hotot in both shows. In show A Junior Buck 8B05 was BOS, and in show B won BOB; however, in Show B were not enough to win a Leg. Junior Doe 8D10 was 2nd in her class in show A, and in show B was BOS. Junior Doe 8D09 was 4th in her class in show A, and was 2nd in her class in show B. Junior Doe 8D08 was disqualified in both shows for wrong eye color - was a light brown instead of dark brown (she has gone to packing house).
