Gossip won a double Best in Show with over 2,000 rabbits
entered at the Icicle Shows in Monroe, WA. -Contributed photo
KT’S Bunny Barn, co-
owned by Kathy Telle-
chea and Pamela Renfro in
Lexington, ended another
successful year of showing
their Mini Rex rabbits by
winning a double Best in
Show at the Icicle Shows
in Monroe, WA with KT’S
Town Gossip, broken black
senior doe. More than 2,000
rabbits were entered in the
show.
Town Gossip continued
her winning streak on Jan.
16 with her third straight
Best in Show at the Snow-
flake Shows in Spokane,
WA.
Tellechea and Renfro
have the only Mini Rex
herd in the United States
certiied with the Gold Star
ranking by the American
Rabbit Breeders Associa-
tion. This means that all
their brood stock are regis-
tered grand champions. To
become a grand champion,
a rabbit has to win at least
three times under two dif-
ferent judges, and one win
has to be obtained when
the rabbit is more than six
months in age.
“It is an accomplish-
ment that we are very proud
of,” said Tellechea.
