UK Angora National

Don from UK sends in the following:

"Greetings from a very wet England! and this is Summer :)

I have been following the NCAG blog, love that site, I was interested to read Candy's comments on the Angoras she saw here, so wondered if your readers might appreciate seeing the attached photos.

I took these photos at the recent National Angora Club stock show held in June 2008, this is the Angora specialty club in the UK. Best in show was a lovely chocolate doe bred and owned by Sally May. I think you can see the type of coat this rabbit has from the photos. It is a very long, ultra silky, a coat that falls and drapes on the rabbit, This is the type of coat that is winning here in the UK. Furnishings are more sparse than the American Angoras although there are lines here in the UK carrying much more furnishings. It is obvoius though that our Angoras have evolved differently to the American English Angoras.

Best wishes"
