They bought two French lop rabbits and it snowballed from there. All of the Ormond chilJrcn have participated in the 1 program with their rabbits and they have the trophies to prove it.

The checkered giants come in two colors, black and white and blue and white. They are a medium sized rabbit, weighing about 1 1 pounds. Checkered giants are high strung and like to show off. They are a breed raised for their meat. Ormond raises his rabbits only for show. "My family wouldnt eat a rabbit. We have no problem eat ing cow or thicken. but rabbit, no way. We get way mo attached to these little guys, Ormond Mid. The f lemish giants are the largest rabbit, 1 l ev tan easily weigh :a pound. 1 hey are thvde and calm, and they nuke great peu. However.

Satins come in all dittcrcni colors and varieties. They are a smaller rabbit wuh a good temperament. "I started raising satins so I didn't have to compete against my dad. I wanted a breed all my own so I chose satins," said 1 Jamie, adding that his rabbit Powder received the Best of Show award at his last show. The Holland lop is imported from Holland, lltey look like little tcdJy bears because they have snull downward turned cars. They are gentle and are small enough for kids to hold. Ormond gives a lot of rabbits aw ay to 4--1 1 kids who want to compete. He prefers finding homes for them himself rather than sell them to a pet store. "I like to have control of where they go and who buys them. I don't just want someone using them for the wrong reason or mistreating them," Ormond said. Ormond encourages people who are interested in getting rabbits to read about them and to check with their city to make sure that they are zoned for rabbits. "I baby these rabbits. I take good care of these animals." said Ormond. "Anyone who gets a rabbit should do the same thing. That's the most important thing." 7 f 1 I f I .
