Queen Adele Visits the ARBA Convention in MA





When we think about UK, we think about the royalties.   Betty gets a visit from an Angora royalty from UK: Adele Fox.  Adele is the Angora queen in UK winning the biggest show in UK with her white Angora.   In UK, only one breed of Angora is accepted: Angora, and that's the English Angora.  No French, Giant or Satin Angoras.



Adele asks to look at my English Angora in the convention.  On Debbie's turntable is Ronaldo.



Adele fluffs up Ronaldo's wool.



In UK, the frontal of the Angora is important, Adele examines Ronaldo's front.


Next on the turntable is Big Boy.   In UK, texture carries more importance than density while in the US it's the other way around.   Adele examines Big Boy's texture closely.



The next is Big Boy's frontal look.



Adele declares that she likes Big Boy more than Ronaldo who is in the lower coop.  It's consistent with the slightly different standard in the US and UK, Ronaldo has a bit better density but more wooly while Big Boy has a lovely free flowing texture but not as dense as Ronaldo.     Ronaldo places higher than Big Boy in more shows here than not.



On the turntable now is Annisha.


Adele is examining Annisha's texture.



Adele poses Annisha while her friend Susan takes a photo.



Adele, Annisha and Betty have a picture taken together.   Adele's hubby Michael and daughter Laura are also at the convention but we missed the photo ops.    They were at the Indy convention last year:



Adele's friend Susan help taking pictures and enjoys the visit.   

To reference the biggest show in UK, we recall this report:


Adele's daughter Laura Fox is in the first photo introducing our US judges and also in the 4th photo with Josh Humphries, Randy Shumaker and David Moll.
