Blue Angel Will Say Goodbye to Her First Coat

 

 

On July 31, 2012, Dove gave birth to 8 French Angora bunnies at Betty's home.  There are 5 broken tort, one solid black, one broken black and one broken blue.

The broken blue little girl is named Blue Angel and she stays with Betty.

 



Blue Angel is a broken blue French Angora now 8 months old.

 

Blue Angel received her first Grand Champion leg at 11 weeks old.  When Meara took a short hiatus from shows, Blue Angel was fortunate enough to have been awarded BOB and got two senior Grand Champion legs,  thus eligible to gain the status of a Grand Champion.   

Blue Angel has a gorgeous body and good density but the texture is too babyish for a senior French Angora.  While the English Angora's first coat is treasured as the best show coat, the French Angora standard requires the wool to carry more guard hairs to be considered as a good senior coat.     Blue Angel is still in good coat condition, but in order to get her senior coat with more guard hairs, it is about time to remove her first coat.   

Blue Angel will go "naked" very soon.
