Urban Hops Rabbitry & Susanna's Cockers

Updated April 28, 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 28, 2024


FOR SALE BUNNIES WILL BE BELOW

Please read sales policy before you continue scrolling!


Before you contact us, read our Rabbit Sale Policy below

SALES POLICY

~All sales are conducted in accordance with Urban Hops Sales Policy, regardless of whether the buyer has read it or not. By inquiring about or purchasing a rabbit from Urban Hops Rabbitry, you are agreeing to comply with this Sales Policy in its entirety.

~This Sales Policy is subject to change at any time without prior notice.

~I do not have a waiting list and unfortunately will not be able to notify individuals about available rabbits. If you are interested in a rabbit, feel free to check in for updates!

~In the best interests of the health and safety of my rabbits, I reserve the right to refuse to sell any rabbit to any person for any reason at any time.

~ I reserve the right to terminate any sale for any reason at any time.

CARE:

​~Rabbit must be given appropriate housing, nutrition, medical treatment, and humane handling for the entire duration of their life.

~Rabbit must never be abandoned, dumped, or surrendered to a shelter or rescue.

PRICES and PAYMENT:

~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.

~Prices are subject to change without prior notice.

~I currently accept cash, Venmo, PayPal, or CashApp.

~I will not hold or reserve a rabbit for any person until I receive a deposit.

~Prices are firm and non-negotiable. Prices vary in price. I do offer discounts sometimes if you purchase multiple rabbits.

~The rabbit must be paid for in full before leaving my ownership.

TRANSPORT:

~ I do work with a select few transporters. Contact me to see which ones I work with.

~Buyers are welcome to pick up their animals locally at our off-site meeting spot in Winston-Salem, NC.

​~I am not to be held responsible for any injury, illness, or death of the rabbit after it leaves my care, as these circumstances are out of my control and rabbits may react negatively to the stress of moving to a new home.

REFUNDS/EXCHANGES:

~I do not give refunds, replacements, or exchanges.

~Brood rabbits: If the buyer no longer wishes to keep the rabbit at any point in its life, I ask that they contact me and give me a chance to buy the rabbit back first, before they allow the rabbit to leave their barn.

~If the buyer backs out of a sale after having paid for the rabbit, I will not be able to refund.

OTHER INFO:

~ Remember, our #1 priority is structure, NOT color gene purity. We do not have "pure" color genetics....such as an all lynx pedigree or an all red pedigree, etc. We don't breed certain colors together that would totally mess each other up, but, we do breed rabbits together in order to produce the best structure possible according to our bloodline goals, therefore that includes breeding different colors together. It doesn't mess up the colors, yet some people care so much about "color genetics purity" that they prioritize color purity more than we do, and it bothers them to see a pedigree with different colors in it. If you are one of those people, you probably shouldn't buy a rabbit from us. Our priority is amazing structure / type in our herd, not color genetic purity.

~Brood quality animals must keep their full pedigree names given to them by their original breeder. Buyer understands that this name can not be changed or altered in any way, nor can the names or information of any of the animals on its pedigree.

​~I will always disclose any known disqualifications on brood quality animals before purchase.

​~Pet quality rabbits will not make good show or breeding rabbits, but would make great pets! I do not offer pedigrees with any pet quality rabbits. Pet quality rabbits are sold under the strict understanding that they will not be used for breeding under any circumstances.

~We are a no-drama rabbitry! If someone is kind and mature, we will bend over backward 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.

GUARANTEES:

~All rabbits are guaranteed to be healthy to the best of our knowledge at the time of sale.

~I cannot guarantee health, show placings, weight, fertility, how well a rabbit will produce, or temperament.

​~I guarantee the sex of all rabbits, but please make sure to also verify the sex of the rabbit immediately upon pick-up. In the unlikely event that a mistake was made on my part, I appreciate if you let me know so we can work something out.

~Once the rabbit leaves my care, I unfortunately can't make any health guarantee. This is because rabbits are unpredictable animals by nature. I am not responsible for how the new owner chooses to take care of the rabbit or any mistakes the buyer makes in the care, handling, and health of the animal.

~I am not responsible for any veterinary fees incurred at any point during the life of the animal.

INCLUDED WITH THE RABBIT:

~All brood rabbits come with transition feed and a pedigree at no additional cost.

~Pet quality rabbits come with transition feed. I will provide links where you can read about quality rabbit care.

~All of my rabbits come with free lifetime support, and buyers are encouraged to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns about their rabbit at any point in the animal's life.

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.

Baby Toys to Hang

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. If one of our dog carries something that Embarq says is "notable" we would never breed that dog to another dog that carries the same trait. 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.

See below for puppies from our January 2024 litter. They were born January 1st, and are now living life with their new families.


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.

Keeping

Susanna's Cockers - Our Dogs

We raise AKC American Cocker Spaniels. Here are our family dogs that we also use for breeding sometimes. They have a safe backyard to run and play in! They can come and go inside via a dog door so they can enjoy the A/C as much as they want. They do choose to spend most of their time outdoors. Mia has free roam of our home, but the puppies are still being house trained, so they are not allowed to free roam yet.



All That Jazz and Style

Jazz is our flashy little Black and white male. He has quite an impressive pedigree, as both parents have multiple champions in their background. He is a sweet boy and is already a huge part of our family. He loves the girls (Mia and Penny) but quickly becomes outnumbered when he tries to flex. 😄
He has already taken to leash training faster than the girls and quickly caught on to crate training. Once he got a plush dog bed, he quit messing in his crate. I am amazed how quickly he learns!
He's very gentle with the children but prefers me, which warms my heart.

Jazz's genetic testing came back squeaky clean! He is clear of hundreds of problem genes, as well as the breed-specific genes. He does carry both copies of one specific gene, IDD.

Note: ALL cocker spaniels carry the IDD gene.



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 one copy each 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.

The one breed specific gene that she inherited both copies of is IDD.

Note: ALL cocker spaniels carry the IDD gene.

All of Mia's puppies will be sold with limited AKC registration, which means you will have a full, official AKC papers and registration, but will just not have the right to breed the dog.

Breeding Carriers


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. 🩷

She is the sweetest most laid back girl, and is my children's favorite. She loves to snuggle, but has a nose for trouble and frequently tracks our Cat around the house.
