 If you really fancy a challenge with difficult colours look no further than the English Marked Dwarf. A good EMD is a joy to behold. Mary Ross has written a few articles for us and here they are.

One Fine Day.
How are the rabbits doing, are they coming ok?
I had a litter born, last week Monday.
Here they are, asleep in the nest
I'd like you to see which you thinks best.
This one's nice just like the mother
No. Now I prefer the smaller brother.
Nice small ears. Now that’s more like.
Oh, missing eye spots, the little tyke.
Look at this oh! Only half a butterfly
and the eyespots run right into ' eye.
That self looks nice it might just show
Pity it's not a marked 'un. Is it a doe?
Seven to a nest, that's real good going
Too bad there’s none in there for showing
I'd sooner plat sawdust as mi owd man would say
But I'm sure you'll make it
ONE FINE DAY.

There are so many I have to thank for any success with these pretty rabbits.
The main people I have to thank, besides my longsuffering family, is Stan Helm of the English fancy. He gave me a small chocolate English standard buck, that didn't make the size, and had endless faith in me, and Jim Tatlock's grey buck and doe, where I made countless beginnings over the years; the help of a very nice buck and offspring from Nigel Atkinson.
