Lipton Gets a Haircut

Lipton is a chestnut agouti French Angora buck. He is so named for the resemblance to the tea color.  This photo was taken when he was still a junior.

His ring pattern is very impressive.  When judge Arie from Indonesia visited Betty's barn in June, she specifically part Lipton's wool to admire his ring pattern.  

Now Lipton is a senior, his ring pattern is still impressive.

With the current heat wave and lack of shows, mama Betty decided that Lipton could take a break from his heavy coat.

Lipton feels that the relief is coming.

Each cut shows how intense Lipton's ring pattern is.

Lipton's coat is flowy.

Lipton has a deep body.

It'll take about three months to grow a respectable show coat.   By then, the temperature should be cooled down and Lipton should be back to the show table with his matured senior coat.
