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

Coat Type and
Grooming
French Angoras have very long fur which
needs to be groomed at least every few
days. It is easier to groom than the
other angora breeds, but still requires
frequent grooming. 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.
