My himalayan doe MMI's Sassafras (BOV '08 ARBA Conv.) was Best in Show three times!! This was my first (and 2nd and 3rd) BIS with a himi mini. Big thanks also to Katherine White & her family, who got my rabbits on and off the table.

Mother May I? Rabbitry began in 2003,  named for my most frequent question, "Mom, can I have another bunny?"  Hi, my name is Ginny Vickers. I am 14 years old. I breed and show Mini Rex and Californian rabbits with the help of my Mom, Becky Vickers. We are located northwest of Houston, Texas.

Left to Right:  MRS's Laries BOV Opal, MMI's Flower BOV Himi, MMI's Purple People Eater BOV Lilac,Treasure's Domnik BOV Red, MMI's Small Town Girl BOSV Red

I breed Mini Rex in Black, Blue, Broken, Castor, Chocolate, Himalayan, Lilac, Opal, Red, Sablepoint, Tort and White. I can't help it, I love them all!

None of this would have been possible without the help of others. First I would like to thank Paula Ham, who encouraged me to get my first Mini Rex and try showing. Special thanks to Cathy Thomason of Treasure's Bunny Ranch, who sold me my first Mini Rex and many more fantastic rabbits. She has been my mentor, my teacher and my bestest friend. I also must thank Janis Fossati of IBB's, Becky Howell of BSH, Kenny McCraken world's greatest judge, Sandra Neal of Scotcha's, George and Marjorie Procter-Smith of Dagrabbit's, Kris & Micky Simmons of MRS's Bunny Barn and all of my fellow Texan Mini Rex breeders for their continuing support, guidance, woohoos and love. Oh and special thanks to chief cook, bottle washer and bunny bus driver Mom. You would be amazed at how many bunnies we can fit in a mini van.
