Frosty American Fuzzy Lop Super Pass at ARBA convention at Louisville

The happy frosty American Fuzzy Lop COD team.  They SUPER PASSED!

What is frosty American Fuzzy Lop? It’s very similar to the Angora Pearl except it’s Agouti pattern.  Angora Pearl is non-agouti while the AFL frosty is agouti.   They look darker than the Angora pearl because AFL has more guard hairs and shorter wool than Angora.  

What is a super pass?    In order to get a new color, new variety or new breed accepted into the ARBA Standard of Perfection (SOP), a breeder or a team of breeders need to get a Certificate of Development (COD), satisfy requirements listed in SOP during a two year waiting period, then present the animals in an ARBA national convention.  The team has 5 years to gain acceptance if the ARBA Standard Committee passes the presentation in three showings.   However, if the COD holder gets unanimous votes from the committee, the committee has the option to waive the third showing and gain an exemplary pass.  The COD team of Nate, Carol and family received unanimous votes in the first showing last year and unanimous votes in the second showing this year, two perfect showings.   Super exemplary pass!!!
