**UPDATES 21.01.2020: Available (Cavies) NEW PAGE ADDED: Cavies
...the crazy, quirky but passionate home of Ludimar Netherland Dwarfs We are a team of 2.. Luke who resides in Sheffield (S.Yorks) and Dee (me) from a village near Chesterfield (N. Derbys).. We have both bred and exhibited various breeds of rabbits in our time but mainly Netherland Dwarfs for over 30 yrs now ...and we both have many years of experience in breeding/showing dogs.
Genetics are a huge lifelong passion of mine and choc/lilac have always been my specialty.. Luke is the neonatal/health expert for a wide range of animals so we both had a lot to bring to the table in the creation of Ludimar...
We now have our foundation stock in place and things are about to get exciting.... hopefully you will bookmark us and pop back often to see how we are progressing and what we have available.. UPDATE June 2016: 14 mths in and we are making progress in almost all our Programs! One thing I can assure you of is that we strive for show type and though everyone has to start somewhere .. hopefully we will travel the path to the golden egg of CCs' We love our chosen colors and patterns and we are passionate about seeing them worthy of their show wins and status in the future :) UPDATE: November 2016 .. The dreaded RHD virus is sweeping the country and rabbits are dropping like flies :( Luckily we saw this coming in July and since end of August we can state that ALL our adults are now vaccinated with Felivac RHD1+2 and we are trying to vaccinate as many youngsters as possible before sale (though difficult as we buy in 50 dose vials to keep costs down and it doesn't have a long shelf life! UPDATE: April 2019 .. A few projects have had to fall by the wayside due to personal and working circumstances but for the few we have left it means we can focus even more on improving their type and quality for the show bench.
CHOC/LILAC SELF-OTTER
Years ago (in the good old days LOL) choc and lilac were considered the 'cinderella' or 'pet shop' color.. thankfully they have withstood the trials of time and are now starting to give more traditional colors a run for their money on the show bench and it was only natural that we would return to what we love best - we mainly focus on self with a few Otters on occasion
LUTINO in DOVE & CHAMPAGNE
We are now into our 4 th year with the Lutino and type has improved tremendously though we are still struggling to remove the continental touch still so 2019 we shall be focusing on carriers again to try and stamp that English look on them .. we have also now registered our own Certificate of Development for them with the BRC
BROKEN
This is now one of our main Programs where we are focusing on getting the correct amount of white for the showbench We produce these in Choc .. Lilac .. Blue .. Tort and occassionally Cinnamon & Lynx
COMING SOON
New project in it's early stages but we are really looking forward to getting to the point we have one for the showbench - the one thing that Breeders like us love is that challenge ... to go from nothing to a CC winner :) The picture is a joke by the way ... just in case you were wondering!
