JAYNE INTRODUCES THE REAL ARAMINTA
I've had a lot of email from people who want to know more about the dust bunny in my SILVER MASTER video. No, it is not a stuffed toy. That is a real rabbit starring in the role of Araminta and here to tell you about her is her owner, Betty Chu.
Sincerely,
Jayne
What is this? A real rabbit or a stuffed animal?
I am sure Jayne’s readers asked these questions when they saw Araminta in the cute video for “Silver Master”.
Jayne is the creator of Araminta; I, Betty Chu, am the creator of Chu’s Melania who plays the role of Araminta in the video.
What is Araminta, a.k.a. Melania? It is a pure breed rabbit: English Angora.
Just like the American Kennel Club for pure breed dogs, the American Rabbit Breeders Association http://arba.net/ is the organization for the 46 pure breed rabbits. There are over 30,000 members in the US, Canada, Japan and Thailand who keep, raise, and show rabbits. I call it “The Wonderful World of Rabbits”.
I have been involved in English Angora for over 25 years and have ranked number 1 in the English Angora breed continuously for 19 years.
English Angora is the most docile breed of all rabbits; they are almost like rag dolls that can be handled in any and every way. Like any long haired animals they do require regular grooming. The wool resulting from grooming or being cut from the rabbits is useful in making sweaters, scarves, hats, baby items, etc. For more information about my rabbits and English Angora in general, go to http://home.pacbell.net/bettychu/ and http://ncag.blogspot.com/
My rabbits go to shows, enjoy their home life and celebrate different occasions. Sevenah is my recent show winner:
White bunnies Marissa and Melania/Araminta are enjoying the scenery in my yard:
The two bunnies celebrating “The Year of Pig” are granddaughters of Melania/Araminta:
Then there are the five patriotic bunnies celebrating The Fourth of July:
Having these wonderful rabbits has given me the chance of making friends and brought me opportunities that I would not have expected . My rabbits have appeared in videos and print media in the US, UK, Japan and all over the world. It even put me on a game show last year; watch me and my rabbits on YouTube
In my other life, I am Professor Emeritus at San Jose State University. Here is a picture of me in front of the Student Union; Jayne, does it recall memories of your graduate school days?
Sincerely,
Betty Chu
