NFRS Bradford Championships Doncaster, England
Connie Perez and I took in the rolling land from London, England, to the show in Doncaster, 3 hours into the British countryside, via. railway on January 22, 2005. There, we met some new people and witnessed the National Fancy Rat Society Rat Show.
You'll notice not only the large rats at the show, of around 180 entrants, but their big, beautiful eyes. The colors were myriad of browns, with just a few marked rats entered. Connie Perez, and I imported Burmese, Black-eyed Siamese, Pearl and she brought in Essex marking genes. You can see the English rats residing in my rattery here.
