| Iberia's Veta |

Iberia’s Veta had an impressive first showing last Spring, and to prove
her mettle she did it at the Cortland shows. In a class of 10 senior does, the
great granddaughter of our legend Velda placed among the top 4 in all 3 shows.

Our Fawn breedings were not as productive as
we’d have liked them to be in 2011, but suffice to say that sisters Vieques and Veracruz exemplify that old saying “Quality,
not Quantity.” Mom was Iberia’s Vespa and Dad was Iberia’s
Veterano.

This fine daughter of Iberia’s Virginia and
Iberia’s Vórtice placed OK in Cortland, and we are very excited about her-and for good reasons. She has the type, color and fur that a good Fawn Flemish should have-dare we say that she’ll produce
our next Grand Champion?

Our dear friend Chris Stover acquired Iberia’s
Vetasta (Virginia’s sister) a couple of years ago, and we closed the deal with a “save me a doe.” He overdid himself by a mile last September when he delivered this beauty, named after the Spanish word
for “Come here.” And who wouldn’t if this doe were to call
you?

Iberia's
Velda was 1st senior doe out of 29 does in her class at the 2007 National Flemish Giant show in Cortland, NY. This big
win earned her another leg toward the title of Grand Champion. Velda is out of proven, champion rabbits: she's a daughter
of Grand Champion Iberia's Virrey and Best Of Breed winner Iberia's Victoria.
I will miss you...thanks for the big wins, the great fawns
and the memories.
Iberia's Virrey was our Grand Champion Fawn buck
and headed our Fawn breeding program until he unexpectedly passed away on February 11, 2007. One of Virrey's finest
sons is now a stud buck in New York, where he has won 3 Best of Breed awards and is heading the breeding program
for another Flemish Giant breeder. Virrey was very influential in my breeding program, and his offspring
are the backbone of my fawn bloodlines
On The Verge's Bubba came for a short stay, courtesy of our friend Wendy Keklak. This nice
buck re-introduced some of my earlier lines and added massiveness and clear color to my fawns.
This is the doe that started it all. Vanadís was our founding doe and our first Best Of
Breed, as a 6/8 doe at the Western Massachusetts Rabbit Breeders Association show in July of 1997. Vanadís produced
many daughters and grandaughters of proven mothering ability. Most of our fawn lines trace back to this wonderful animal.
