We started raising Champagne D Argent rabbits four years ago. We have had our share of challenges during this time, but that means we have learned a lot about raising rabbits in the South. Dallas, Texas is where we are blooming where we’re planted! I am in the process of compiling all that I have learned into an e-book so that I can help others get started raising rabbits successfully. In the meantime let us introduce you to our herd.
Baby Champagnes
Champagne D Argents are named for the province in France where they originated. They are born black, but turn a beautiful silver as they grow. Champagnes are prized for their good bone to meat ratio and their elegant silver coats.
It is important to us that our rabbits live a good life doing what rabbits do best: jumping, digging and foraging for greens. While our rabbits are raised in cages for protection from predators, they spend most of their time in ground pens where they have the freedom to stretch out.

Buddy is our main buck. We named him Buddy because he is everyone’s friend. He is our most calm and curious Champagne rabbit.
As you can see he has a tattoo in his ear. That is because all the rabbits we sell come with a full pedigree. Although we haven’t taken our rabbits to show yet, many who buy them do show them.
Adeline is a Rock Star mama! She was raised from a bottle so you would think she would be used to people. That has not turned out to be the case as she is very nervous around us.
Mystic is on our home page photo header. She was born and raised on our property. She is expecting her first batch of babies any day now!
We currently have one doe for sale. She is a another rock star mama and has big litters. She only has 1/2 of her pedigree complete, which is why we are taking her out of our breeding program. Please contact me if you are interested in this beautiful Champagne doe. bloomwhereyourplanted28@gmail.com
We call her Dolly because she is very pretty. Her litters have numbered 7 and 8 kits.
