The English Angora
For the past three years, I have been raising mostly English Angoras. Due to health problems I am unable to take care of the long coats of the english. I have since switched to raising French Angoras. In 1999 I won Best of Breed Youth French Angora at the ARBA National Convention in Louisville, Kentucky with a Colored Sr. Doe. This past year in Columbus, Ohio, I also won Best of Breed, this time with a Colored Jr. Doe!i
The English Angora is the smallest Angora breed. They are known for their ear furnishings and tassles which gives them the 'unforgetable' faces. There are many colors of the English Angora, some of these colors are pictured below.

The English Angora has six color groups. They are: Agouti, Pointed White, Self, Shaded, Ticked, and Wide Band, although they are shown in two classes, white and colored.
