Urban Hops Rabbitry & Susanna's Cockers

Updated March 10, 2024

Welcome to Urban Hops Rabbitry and Susanna's Cockers! We are a small family-run Rabbitry and Kennel located in Winston-Salem, NC. We have over 7 years experience showing and raising rabbits. We are closed, which means we do not accept visitors into our barn for bio-security reasons. We only have about 40 holes (and not all of them are occupied!) so each bunny is handled often. We have show quality Holland Lops in a variety of colors, from excellent lines.

Now a bit about our Kennel! We have a few American Cocker Spaniel dogs that are our family pets, and we raise a litter now and then. Our dogs are used to kids, embarq health tested, microchipped, up to date on all recommended vaccines, and are correct representations of the American Cocker Spaniel breed. Scroll to the right for more info on our cocker spaniels and rabbits.

For Sale

Updated April 19, 2024

Before you contact us, read our Rabbit Sale Policy below.

➡️YOU MUST READ THE SALES POLICY BELOW BEFORE YOU CONTACT ME ABOUT A BUNNY.

✅️We are a no-drama rabbitry! If someone is kind and mature we will bend over backwards for that person. But if we catch a whiff of people acting immature or petty, we reserve the right to refuse a sale for any reason.

✅️We require a $50 deposit to hold your rabbit until you are able to pick them up in a reasonable amount of time. We require a deposit, so we know that you are serious about meeting me to pick up the bunny. If you aren't willing to send a deposit, don't bother contacting me.

✅️In person pickup is in Winston-Salem, NC. I guarantee that your rabbit is healthy when you pick it up from me, but I do not provide any guarantee when they leave my care.

✅️Because things come up sometimes that are out of our control, we reserve the right to cancel and refund the deposit. For the deposit, we accept Venmo, CashApp, and PayPal (friend/family only). On pickup, cash for the remaining balance is required.

🐰PETS:
We do not offer pets for sale until they are 8-10 weeks old. We do meet-ups at a neutral, safe location for pet bunnies. They will come with a quart bag of transition feed. No pedigree will be offered for a pet bunny. If you need me to hold the bunny for longer than a week, I'll require $10 a week hold fee.

Please do your research before you buy a pet bunny!. Please read the information provided on my website about pet bunnies before you contact me.

🏆BROOD/SHOW:
Since they will be sold at older ages, and these bunnies have nicer type and/or are proven (have successfully produced or raised babies), Prices are generally more for a brood/show bunny. Pedigree is included with any brood or show rabbit. We occasionally offer transport, but are very picky about who we use. See below. We CAN deliver to local shows we will be attending.

🚙TRANSPORT:
We are willing to work with Hare to There, Hippity Hop, or Colleen Wagner. Perhaps a few others, but I'm really picky. When we have to hold the bunny for more than 4 weeks for transport, we will require an extra $5 a week, per bunny to hold and care for the rabbit while we wait for transport. We can meet transport in Winston-Salem, NC.

✅️Urban Hops Rabbitry will not be held responsible for the rabbit getting sick on transport. I guarantee a healthy rabbit when I put them on transport, but I can not guarantee their health on the trip. Most rabbits take to transport really well, but they often lose condition, and might arrive a bit skinnier than when they left me.

✅️By placing a deposit you are acknowledging you have read this policy, and have agreed to the terms of this contract.

Rabbit Care & Favorite Products

There is a lot of bad information online, and below are a few links and some advice that have good info from people who have actually RAISED rabbits. Personal experience is way more valid than all the blogs and pet websites on google who are just repeating what they've read without doing the research. Since I only have 7 years experience raising rabbits (counting recent years and my years raising rabbits as a teenager), i wanted to have a place I could gather together good information for newer breeders.

I've also included my favorite products below.

Introduction

Please remember that rabbits are EXOTIC pets. They love to chew, and They are prey animals, and this shapes how they react and how they view the world. They learn to like people, but they do not respond to people the same way a cat or a dog does, and really, we wouldn't want them to! I love the personalities of my bunnies.

Cage Information

It is NOT cruel or inhumane to keep rabbits in wire bottom cages – this is actually the BETTER practice for most breeds, as rabbits are incredibly prone to gastrointestinal diseases spread on the ground and by feces, so keeping them safe on wire bottom cages is in their best interest. You are FREE to let your house bunny roam, and keep them in an elaborate pen if you want – but please don’t judge the responsible breeders out there who are raising bunnies to the standards of the American Rabbit Breeders Association, and choosing to keep their herd safe and super sanitary. We love our 15+ bunnies just as much as you love your bunny (bunnies!)! 😉

Feeding your Bunny

Please don't get carried away with how much your rabbit loves treats! They really aren't good for him. If you MUST feed greens and veggies, ONLY do so when they are 6 months or older. Even then, ONLY provide one little tsp of treats per day. I'm not joking when I say that it could be deadly. Dwarf breeds have a much more sensitive gastrointestinal tract than larger breeds. If you want to just feed your bunny treats whenever you want, a dwarf breed is not for you.

Preventive Meds

These are tried and true, and recommended by many long time rabbit breeders.

GENERAL RABBIT CARE

This is much more balanced and accurate information than the rescue groups/mainline Google information.

WIRE CAGES

This article gives some balance to the rediculous amount of information against wire cages on the internet.

Beads to make Hanging Toys

I bought this and took them off of the log, and fastened one end to a small D clip, and then clipped it to the top of the cage. They have lasted well and the bunnies love them.

DIY Hanging Toy Wooden Beads Kit

Hay and Willow Stick toy

This is a new one I'm trying. Since they are more expensive, I completely take it apart, and only putting in one of the hay chew chunks on one of my hanging wood bead toys.

Hay and Twig chew toy

Carrot and Willow Chew Toy

This is a new one I'm trying. Since they are more expensive, I completely take it apart, and only putting in one of the carrot chew chunks on one of my hanging wood bead toys.

This is a cute kit with lots of variety. You can use it to make a few hanging toys, or you can use it in with the hanging wooden beads kit to stretch the fun pieces onto more toys.

Baby Toys to Hang

I have some bunnies who have absolutely adored these toys! I just hang them on a wire or string from the top of the cage. Works especially well for really busy bunnies.

Susanna's Cockers - Puppies

Kennel Information

We are on AKC Marketplace, Facebook, Instagram and Good Dog also if you want to look us up.

Pickup is in Winston-Salem, NC - but I know a good transporter that I would trust to bring your puppy to you.

Our breeding dogs are tested with the Full Embark Genetic Panel Tests.
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of diseases and structural flaws. You can read more about this on the next page.

We do Early Neurological Stimulation with our puppies, which is a series of gentle exercises that is proven to improve puppies' development. (Look it up on the AKC website. )

Our puppies are well adjusted and raised in our home with our five children. They are allowed to romp on various surfaces and are introduced to the outdoors when weather permits. They receive first introduction to the leash at about seven weeks old. They are introduced to our Cat, and allowed to sniff and see Chickens and Rabbits.

We start training them at 4 weeks not to bite. They are provided with squeak toys, balls, and safe bones. They are introduced to car riding and also to strangers in our home and out. Because they are raised in our home, they naturally get some good exposure to loud noises and different smells and sights. They also get visits out doors as often as the weather permits.

We send our puppies home with a Toy with Littermates' Scent, a Puppy Collar, a Blanket with Littermates Scent, and AKC Registration papers that the new buyer will be able to fill out and send to the American Kennel Club to register their puppy. All puppies are vaccinated and taken to a vet for a health check before going home.

Please contact me for our puppy sale contract.

Here are the parents from our January 2024 litter. Mia is the dam, (tan/brown) and the sire is Frank (blonde), who belongs to Hunting Creek Kennels. Both are family dogs, used to kids, and Embarq health tested.

Susanna's Cockers - Our Dogs

Here are our family dogs that we also use for breeding sometimes. AKC American Cocker Spaniels. We do the full Embarq genetic health panel on our dogs, and we analyze the results and breed accordingly.

Amelia Antoinette

Mia is our two year old female. She's such a sweet dog, and loves our kids. She follows me around all day long, and lays at my feet when I stop. 🩷 She's just raised her first litter of puppies in January 2024, and she did amazing! Our next litter from her will be Spring 2025 if everything works out.

See below to read more about Mia's health results.

Mia is a carrier of two different genes that Embarq flagged as "notable". She will never be bred to a dog that carries this gene also, so NONE of the puppies are at risk for actually inheriting both copies of the bad gene. A dog has to carry both genes to be affected by the disease.

There's a lot if information on the internet about how it's good to still use carrier dogs in a breeding program so that we utilize the gene pool in a breed and don't loose genetic diversity, which is actually really important in purebred dogs. Their gene pool is already limited.

So, I just wanted to put that out there, and here's some links if you want to do your research about the two genes she carries, and also an article that discusses using carrier dogs in a breeding program.

Mia is CLEAR of the above breed specific genetic health issues. Click below to read more about breeding dogs that carry one copy of a problem gene.

Breeding Carriers

REMEMBER. Just because Mia carries ONE copy of these diseases does NOT mean that she or the puppies will be affected by it. The only way for a dog to develop or display one of these diseases is if they have BOTH copies of the gene. Mia only has one copy, and was bred to a dog that does NOT carry those two genes

Notable - PRA

Mia is not affected by this, because she inherited only one copy of the gene. She will only be bred to males that do not carry this gene, and her puppies may or may not carry the gene themselves.

Notable - SD2

All That Jazz and Style

Jazz is a Black/White Male we are picking up in March from a quality breeder in SC. He will be our new Stud dog, but first off, he will be a treasured member of our family. 💙

We will update here once we get his Embarq health test results back.

Worth Every Penny

Penny is a puppy from Mia's first litter. Her sire is Hunting Creek's Frank. She's been with us from day one, and is already very attached to us. We are eager to see how she grows and develops. 🩷

We will update here once we get her Embarq health test results back.
