We must say we are very happy with James. He shows excellent depth width and height! He has a lovely coat with high sheen and very correct texture and density. He is perfect size, has a very nice head and ear. We expect him to have a huge impact on our Mini Satin breeding program.

Thank you Cathy Patrick of Ohio for allowing him to come here. We would also like to thank Josh Humphries for taking the time to help us find such quality Mini Satins when we were in Texas.

We now have our first Mini Satin Babies!!! reservations now accepted

A touch of magic . . . . . .
The symbol of three hares chasing one another in an everlasting circle has appeared
for over a thousand years of human history. In times before ours the hare had a reputation
as a magical creature but why this exact rendition of three hares - ears touching to
form a triangle space in the center is found world wide no one knows?

We do know that this motif of the three entwined hares is found in MANY different cultures.
The earliest known examples are found in Buddhist cave temples in China, dating from
600 CE. The three dancing hares have also been found on Islamic metalwork, in 13th century
Mongol works, and on Iranian copper coins dated to 1281. It has been used to illustrate
Christian manuscripts and to decorate the the roof bosses (carved wooden fixtures) in the
ceilings in almost 30 medieval churches in England. They have also been found on the
ceilings in a Jewish synagogue as well as other churches throughout France and Germany.

This symbol always features three hares chasing each other in a circle. Each of the ears is shared by two animals so that only three ears are shown, yet to the human eye each animal has two ears.

The hare or rabbit has a number of magical associations. They were believed to have mystical links to the feminine because of their fertility. Their elusive behavior and nighttime appearances often seemed governed by the moon reinforcing their reputation as a magical creature.

and a touch of mystery . . . . . . However, the precise origin and significance of these dancing hares is uncertain, as are the reasons it has appeared for hundreds of years in diverse locations around the world?
