Physical
Attributes
The Giant angora has long fur over the
body, head (not the face), ears, feet,
and legs. The fur on the face and ears
is not as thick as that of an English
angora. The body is medium in length and
is rounded. The ears are upright and are
carried in a V-shape.

Personality
Most Giant angoras are very calm due to
years of being bred for good temperaments
in order to properly groom the breed.

Coat Type and
Grooming
Giant Angoras have very long fur which
needs to be groomed at least every other
day, preferably every day. Young rabbits
require more grooming as their coat is
softer and matts easier. 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.

Reader's Comments on this
Breed
From Susan Giffen, Saskatchewan Giant (German) Angora rabbits are excellent for pets, being very docile and
very attractive. Some can even be leash trained. Grooming is difficult, at best,
and breeding them is extremely difficult as the males do not seem very
aggressive and there are frequently problems with delivery and nurturing.
