Low Maintenance English Angora




Following Debbie's lead, English Angora breeders are getting into the low maintenance line.  Here are 9 English Angora buns in the litter that require very little grooming.  No daily blowing needed, just a soft brush on their furnishings will be all the work needed.

Eva, the First Best In Show Satin Angora




Eva is the first Best In Show Satin Angora in the Northern California/Nevada area, Casey is the proud mama.   



Eva won a Reserve In Show on February 29, then a Best In Show on March 14, and at the height of her winning streak, the world went crazy.  All shows are cancelled, we are all ordered to stay at home.



How long will Eva have to wait to go on the show table again?  No one knows.  



Eva being cut down?  Will mama Casey do it?

We are like Brothers



We are cute little English Angora boys.  We are like brothers, but not quite.  



We love each other but my mom is better than your mom.   Nope, my mom is better than yours.


My mom is Fawnalisa, the BOB of the 2017 ARBA convention.



My mom is Annisha, the 7-time Best In Show winner and the English Angora 2018-2019 Rabbit of the Year winner. 


Who's that between us?  He does not look like us but we love him too.



I don't speak English, I speak French but I love my English mom and my English brothers.   My mom is Indigo Girl, who is great too, she is at the first place of the current French Angora Rabbit of the Year competition.   The only bad thing is that my brothers and sisters are all bigger and stronger than I, it's very kind of my English mom to have taken me in, I love my English mom and English brothers.
