Setzke's DandeLions
Breeding Quality Lionheads of Distinction
Established in 2003 Rabbitry #Z186
We are a small rabbitry located off the shore of Lake Michigan. We are located 20 minutes north of Milwaukee. We keep a small rabbitry between 10-15 holes. This allows us to give equal amounts of attention to our rabbits in a clean and healthy environment.
We specialize in raising Lionhead rabbits in the COD colors of TORT, BLUE TORT, BLACK, BLUE, and limited SIAMESE SABLE, SMOKE PEARL, and REW. We also like to breed brokens (AOV). Although we use AOV's in our program we do NOT support showing them.We have show and breeding stock, with occasional pet quality available at reasonable prices. Our goal is to produce quality rabbits with correct type that meet the 2007 GIBBONS STANDARD. We are also dedicated to breeding 2XM gene Lionheads that carry a full mane into their adulthood. All of our stock is purebred unless otherwise noted.
PLEASE click here to view the current and recommended standard.
Our breeding stock is quality stock purchased from breeders with outstanding reputations. Please ask us about the breeders we highly recommend and respect. We do not get to show our rabbits as often as we like due to our busy schedule, but our rabbits have proven themselves to be good compettion, not just in WI but Nationally. In the '06/'07 show season we produced 16 BOB (Best of Breed) winners. In 2008 we produced 9 BOB/BOS winners.Thanks to all who have shown our wonderful rabbits and CONGRATULATIONS on your wins. See pictures of our homebred winners on our SHOW NEWS page.
This is an exciting new breed with alot to learn. We highly recommend having alot of patience when working with this breed in developement. There is a long process for this rabbit to actually becoming a recognized breed. We are willing to help anyone who is interested in learning more about Lionheads. If you have a question we cannot answer we will direct you to someone who can.
We would like to personally thank Diane Ostrem of DJ's Lions Den in CA and Theresa Mueller of PrideLand's Rabbitry in WA. You both have gone above and beyond with sharing your wealth of knowledge and experiences with us. THANK YOU!!!!
