About Joie de Vive... Joie De Vive is French and translates to, The Joy Of Life.
While mulling over what to pick for my French Angora rabbitry name, I came across this delightful saying in an English/French dictionary and it was perfect. Yarn and knitting are The Joy Of MY Life, my one solitude and relaxation. Why not have a wonderful French saying as the name of a rabbitry that produces only French Angora rabbits? I couldn't find a reason not to and anyway it's fun to say, it rolls off the tounge! If you are a knitter or a spinner I hope to be able to offer you a little Joie De Vive for yourself in the future. I plan to have loads of fun producing some of the worlds most natural yarns with some stunning rabbits in a rainbow of colors and patterns |
About the Lapins-Rabbits! My rabbits are fed the best diet I can find, are handled all the time, and have marvelous temperments. I will be seriously breeding my rabbits to better the breed and strive to meet The Standard Of Perfection. I show them and all of my rabbits are pedigreed and tattooed.
If it's over the top, you'll probably find it here at JDV. The rabbits listen to various classical music everyday for 10 hours a day, and we even use mild aromatherapy in the bunny barn! I carefully screen potential buyers to be sure that my rabbits are going into the right homes, Angoras are NOT for everyone! They may be beautiful and friendly but they are high maintenence to groom and if you do not stay on top of it they become quite matted and miserable. |
