It's the Angora Winning Day at Kentucky Cup

 

 

 

The past weekend is the big Kentucky Cup weekend with breed nationals and specialty shows held on Saturday and all breed shows held on Sunday at Lousiville, KY.   It's a major event in the southern show circuit.

Look at the Best In Show and Reserve In Show winners: Two Angoras!   Eric's French Angora HGF Dreamsicle wins the Best In Show two weekends back to back.  Eric drove from PA to KY to show his beautiful doe.   Marcus drove from MI to KY to show his English Angora doe and it's the Reserve In Show winner in show A then went on to win Best In Show in show B.   

Please note that this is NOT an Angora specialty show, it is a huge all breed show with large entries.  Having the two Angoras on the top of the winners' list shows the high quality of our beloved Angora breeds.
