A FEW OF SHAMROCK RABBITS NOTABLE PAST BUCKS :
MONTY. Monty was Shamrock's first buck when the rabbitry started in 2009. He was a friendly, Fawn colored buck that was ultimately sold as a pet to some great folks in Big Timber, Montana. Monty is featured on Shamrock's business card.
Monty wasn't show quality but had a great disposition as a pet!

EUGENE was Shamrock Rabbit's first truly show buck, purchased at a rabbit show in Powell, WY from the Ormonds. Eugene was a friendly buck, sired many litters but died relatively young. Admittedly, we overpaid for Eugene but he was a memorable buck for his behavior..... he was the first rabbit I ever house trained, he was the first rabbit that ever licked me and he liked to hop into my lap while watching TV and then hop back to the floor when he was good and ready. Eugene was originally named Blitzen, as he was born on Christmas Day 2009. I changed his name to Eugene since my father Eugene died on that day. Eugene, the Holland Lop, died on March 21, 2013.

GEAR UP, one my my best bucks was a broken tort buck. He was purchased from a Wyoming breeder. He was out of FM Ringo, a very fine Holland buck. Gear Up sired many litters for us here at Shamrock Rabbits. He is featured at my Facebook group photo. Gear Up was born on December 12, 2009 and died on July 14, 2014. GearUp had a solid head, nice teaspoons ears and a petty compact body. He had a well-defined but slightly slipped crown. GearUp had two legs.

.....AND OTHER BUCKS FROM OTHER BREEDS:
GRADY, a Lion Lop buck ( a Holland Lop / LIonhead cross) has a good disposition. We kept Grady in the herd due to his small size and to sire kits that are a more inexpensive option for some of our customers, looking for a nice pet without a pedigree.
POOH BEAR, Lion Head buck, donated to Shamrock Rabbits in early 2018, by some folks moving to New Mexico.
Pooh Bear has a great disposition and has sired several nice Lion Lop litters for us.
The Lionhead breed is very new. It has only been recognized by ARBA (the American Rabbit Breeder's Association) since 2013, according to Wikipedia.
