My name is Sara Paplia, and I am the owner of Bunnizona, located in Clay Center, Kansas. I breed and show quality Lionhead rabbits. I have a small herd to make sure that all are receiving quality care and to ensure all of my babies are well handled and very friendly. I am a certified Veterinary Assistant, but my bunnies are currently my boss. I am hoping to soon return to school to study genetics.
I am currently only working on improving the Lionhead breed through selective breeding, concentrating on overall type with well balanced manes, sound bodies, as well as the perfect temperament. To do this, I plan each and every breeding. I don't breed two rabbits together to just produce pets, I breed to produce better rabbits that will do well on the show table. If I see that a rabbit isn't meeting what I look for to show or to breed, then I will sell it as a pet. However, I do also sell show/brood quality rabbits when I do not need that color/gender or if I currently do not have room for them.
I am working with many colors including Tort (Black, Blue, Chocolate), Ruby-Eyed-White (REW), Blue-Eyed-White (BEW), Shaded, Pointed White, Black, Agouti, and Broken. I am currently only working on Lionheads, and have no other breeds at this time.
We are a military family and are originally from Chandler, Arizona. We are currently stationed in Kansas (Manhattan/Junction City Area). Once we are done in the military, we plan on returning to Chandler, Arizona.
I am currently a member of ARBA as well as the NALRC.
