About myself
I'm located in Marshfield, WI, right in the center of the state. I chose Lakola because it's the Lakota word for friendship. I named it after my first show rabbit (Dutch), Kola's Chowaku (friend's perfect gift).
I got back into rabbits in 2011, deciding on the Harlequins. Marked breeds are my favorites. Harlequins are especially nice because the markings don't have to be perfect to do well. My goal at the moment is clear color and solid bodies. I think the better the color is, the better the markings will look. Being that Harlequins are a commercial breed and I do use them for that purpose, I also want good solid bodies. I keep some with good markings but if I have a rabbit with a great body and color, that one will stay as well.
I also have a few Rhinelanders (black and blue), Checkered Giants, Tans, English Spots, and Britannia Petites (working towards BEW), plus my Icelandic chickens and more recently, cavies.
This year's goal is fertilizer and raising garden/bait worms. I might as well put all that rabbit poop to use. ;)

News:
Due to RHVD2, showing, sales, and transport will likely be put off until 2021, or at least extremely limited. If things calm down, I might go to a couple of fall shows. I'm going to spend the rest of the year breeding and culling hard, getting ready for the next show season.
Reserve in show at Antigo on 6/16/2018 with Lakola's Mission Protocol!
Rabbitry Number: D1118
