CLYDESDALE

This breed of horse is known for its action and versatility, a draft horse breed originated in Clydesdale, Scotland. It's bred to carry heavy loads in rural and urban places. However, they are less good in plowing for they are big enough big to fit in the furrow. Its average height is about 1.68 m (16.2 hh), but some are larger and weigh up to a tonne. They have distinct large hoofs with many silky feathers. Clydesdales are also used in competitive draft horse showing in which they are judged in harness driving.

bunny rabbits

Bunny Rabbits are lovable, social animals that make good companion pets for people who are patient enough to learn about the special needs of these adorable creatures. Pet rabbits in captivity have a lifespan of more than 10 years, and although rabbit care is not difficult, they do have some specific care requirements. It is unfortunate that the association between rabbits and Easter means many bunnies are purchased on impluse at this time of year, and they often end up neglected or taken to shelters. Grown rabbits need as much attention and care as a dog, and in addition, they do not make the best pets for children because, in general, rabbits do not like to be held and cuddled. Therefore, it is advised to thoroughly research pet rabbits before deciding to bring one home as a pet.

lionhead rabbits

Lionhead Rabbits are an exciting new rabbit!
Even though they are a recognized breed in England,
they are not yet a recognized breed with the
American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA).
Currently both Purebred and Hybrid Lionheads
can be shown at ARBA shows under the
Purposed Working Standard for the breed. They will
have their first official showing with the ARBA in 2004.
The American version of the Lionhead Rabbit will
have erect ears and adults should remain under 3 3/4 pounds to be shown.

These little rabbits have a mane of wool encircling
their head much like a male African Lion. (Both male &
female Lionheads have a mane). Unlike other wool
rabbit breeds, the Lionhead Rabbit has normal fur on
the rest of their bodies. They are very friendly, easy to
train and make excellent pets. Once they reach
adulthood they do not require the extensive grooming
that some of the other wool breeds do.

Lahore

The Lahore is large for a pigeon, approximately 10.5 inches tall and 11.5 long. From shoulder to shoulder, it measures 5.5 inches. Its markings are also unusual: the base color is white, with a secondary color beginning at the juncture of beak and wattle and spreading in an arc over the eyes and across the back and wings. The rump and tail are to be white, though in pigeon shows the majority of attention is paid to the quality of the head, neck, and wing markings.

The neck should be heavily feathered and should lead to a full, broad chest. Cheeks should be plump, and the beak should be "broad and stout and rather blunt at the tip."  Feet and legs are feathered so that the bird appears to be wearing thick stockings.

Lahore are bred in many different colors, including Blue-bar, Checkered, Red, Blue, Brown, and Black.
