The Maturing of a French Angora Coat

 

 

This photo of Fair N Square was taken in May 2014 when he was four months old.  As a junior, judges understood that his coat was on the soft side.

 

 

In September 2014 Fair N Square was around 8-1/2 months old.  Though he was a senior already but he was still carrying his first coat.   Guard hairs are visible in the photo but judges would comment that there wasn't enough guard hairs.   Not long after this photo was taken he had his first hair cut.

 

This photo was taken a few days ago in August 2015.    After the first coat was cut, he came back with a mature coat.   The second coat lost some density but judges like the texture a lot better.

A good quality French Angora has the ability to come back with a full coat with a proper texture.
