Elio Wins All Breed Reserve In Show

Judge Armando and Betty with Elio.

Betty with English Angora, Tracy with Satin Angora and Giant Angora, Carol W. with French Angora. These are winners of the Best of Breed.

Finally, after a 7-week wait the first show of 2008 has come. We were all so looking forward to going back to shows. The show is well attended and the building is wonderfully spacious.

In show B, Betty's English Angora colored senior buck Chu's Elio won all breed Reserve In Show. Elio is barely 8 months old, young for a buck to have achieved such an honor. He has the coat of a matured doe; it is dense, long and well textured. His face is very bucky, broad and somewhat goofy. Elio is also one of the finalists in the Best In Show judging in show A.

This is one of the rare occasions that all four breeds of Angora are represented. During the Best In Show selection, English Angora was mentioned as top contenders in both show A and B; French Angora was mentioned as one of the top five in show B.
