This is 3 month old Prince Charles. I call him
Chucky. He is an English Angora and has the best
personality. He just hops around the yard
when we are outside and minds when I tell him to
stay out of the road. I love him so much.

Physical
Attributes
The English Angora resembles, literally,
a ball of fluff. The only portion of the
rabbit that has short fur is the face.
The rest, ears and legs included, is
covered in long fur. The face is fairly
short, and the body is rounded.

Personality
Most English angoras are very calm due to
years of being bred for good temperaments
in order to properly groom the breed. One
will often see an English angora
upside-down having its belly brushed.

Coat Type and
Grooming
English Angoras have very long, fine fur
which requires daily grooming. It matts
very easily due to its silky texture. A
slicker brush and a comb, preferably
with rotating teeth, are a must for
grooming. A letter opener is good for
splitting matts apart. Clippers are a
good idea in case the rabbit ever needs
to be shaved, such as in very warm
weather or when being bred.

Breed
From Kimberly, Iowa
English Angora rabbits are the best breed of rabbits because they have the best
personality. They have a heart as big as an ocean and would never hurt a
flea. We have to love them.
