English Angora Wins Double Best In Show In Japan

There are five open all breed rabbit shows on three show dates in Japan each year: double shows in June, single show in November and double shows in December. Usuaully there are a few specialty shows to be held with the open shows. Mini Rex, Netherland Dwarf, Holland Lop are some of the popular breeds that have enough numbers to warrant specialty shows.

Our readers probably recall that Yumiko won an all breed Best In Show in November with BC2CE, the first time ever an English Angora won a Best In Show in Japan. Photos and reports are in November archives.

On December 10, 2006 in the double shows sponsored by ARBA Japan Show Circuit, Yumiki and Chu's Carera BC2CE made history again: An English Angora won double all breed Best In Show in Japan for the first time.

Yumiko is the owner, caretaker and groomer of Carera. We all know how important it is for an English Angora to be properly groomed and cared for before it has any chance in a show. Yumiko is doing an excellent job in presenting Carera.
