Brotherly Haircuts

This is Alexander, a very handsome buck, littermate of Aurelia.   Many BOSB wins and achieved Grand Champion status long ago.

Brother Arlo is a bit smaller but equally handsome.   He comes up later than Alexander but received more wins during the months of February and March.  Also achieved Grand Champion status.

Brothers are put on on the grooming table and receiving haircuts.  Why?

After the San Jose show weekend concluded, there is a long stretch of not having any shows in the greater San Francisco Bay Area.   Many judges and exhibitors are involved in breed national specialty shows out of state, as a result, April becomes a vaccum for the exhibitor not wanting to go to faraway shows.

Brothers are a bit confused looking at each other.

Why are we here?

What's mama doing to us?

You look like a peacock.

You should look at yourself, you look like a peacock.

I got a bigger tail than you!

Mine is bigger.

We look pretty bad, don't we.  Mama says, Don't worry, your wool will grow back, you both will be handsome again.

 

Specialty and Fun Photos at San Jose

There is also an Angora specialty show judged by Chris Zemny at the very end.  Due to the lateness and having the show E Best In Show judging going on at the same time, there was no photos taken.  Judge Chris awarded the specialty Best In Show to Betty's English Angora colored senior doe and the specialty Reserve In Show to Carol's French Angora colored senior doe.  

Though the judges are rushing out of the door, happy mamas still want to record the happy memories.
Carol's American Fuzzy Lop won show E Best In Show, Betty's English Angora won show C Best In Show and show D Reserve In Show plus the specialty Best In Show.

Lillian's Mini Rex won show D Best In Show and Betty's English Angora won show C Best In Show and show D Reserve In Show plus the specialty Best In Show.

Lillian's Mini Rex and Carol's American Fuzzy Lop are the two Best In Show winners on Sunday, show D and show E.

Show D French Angora Judging at San Jose

The French Angoras are loaded in the judging coops, Carol and Carolyn watching.

Judge Courtney is commenting on the second place French Angora colored senior buck.

Boys will be boys, the 2nd place is not too thrilled to be the second place, wanting to chase down the one about to win the class.

Judge Courtney is checking the underside of a colored junior buck.

After checking, judge Courtney comments on the colored junior buck.  It's very promising but not mature enough to win over the senior buck.

This is the 3rd place colored senior doe.

The second place colored senior doe.

Last but not least, this is the first place colored senior doe as well as the French Angora BOB.
