Tellechea Hew with the
show team while Renfro
stayed home taking care
o f all the other critters.
Tellechea took only eight
rabbits, but it was the elite
eight.
“Placing in the top 10
is always what you are
at least hoping for when
many o f the classes have
100 or more entries,” said
Tellechea.
As it turns out, only
one out of their eight entries
didn’t place in the top 10.
They also had the Best

the show.
More than 1,800 Mini
