Our Story

It all started with a rabbit named Bob

 It was only a few years ago that I brought home our first rabbit, a New Zealand White Buck, which my son insisted on naming Bob. As the tiny bundle of fur wriggled on my son's lap, then snuggled for a nap during the long drive home, we fell in love.

We haven't fallen out of love since. 

​

It wasn't long before I spent hours online, researching rabbit breeds, color genetics and more. Soon a little Siamese Sable doe named Eclipse joined our household and Eclipse Rabbitry was born. At the same time, I became a member of ARBA and the Netherland Dwarf Rabbit Association (both associations dedicated to the preservation and responsible breeding of domestic rabbits). 

​

My story with the Netherland Dwarf rabbits is one of love-at-first-sight. I love everything about them! What's not to love? They come in a variety of gorgeous colors and have the most intense, playful, spirited personalities. Their short ears and large heads give them the appearance of a creature straight out of a fairytale. 

​

As a breeder, my focus is and always will be health and temperament first. I always select the best temper for my breeders and never compromise on health. Doing this means I am dedicated to preserving the breed while producing sound and healthy kits with every litter. 

​

As a small, dedicated breeder, I can also give advice to new pet owners on health, nutrition and behavior issues and I am always available to answer questions.

Thank you for reading and cheers from all the rabbits at Eclipse Rabbitry!
