The French Angora Wool Texture, Part I The First Coat

Monique was born in January 2020.  This is a photo taken when she was around 5 months old with her first coat.

If you take a close look at the tips to search for the guard hairs, they look very fine and blend in with the wool.   The junior texture is not much different from the first coat of an English Angora.     

This photo of Monique was taken when she was 6-1/2 months old.   The color looks different because it's taken indoors with light enhencement.   Since our interest is the texture, take a close look at the tips.  They are still quite wooly and the guard hairs are still very fine.  

Monique at 8 months old, still in her first coat, the texture still resembles the English Angora texture.

Monique and her sister Simone were cut down at one year old.  Guess what happened next....
stay tuned for Monique's mature coat.
