Angora National English Angora Judging at WCC/Reno

The NARBC uses a rotating breed alphabetical order to determine the order of judging.   The last NARBC show left off at English Angora followed by French Angora followed by Giant Angora and the last Satin Angora.  Thus this NARBC show started with Satin Angora followed by English Angora.   

After the Satin Angoras were done judging, next on the table for judge Randy is the English Angora.
