Attributes
The Satin angora has long fur on the
body and cheeks. The face has no long
fur and the ears have either no long fur
or only a tiny tuft of long fur at the
tips. The fur has a distinct shine too
it, like the material satin, caused by a
hollower hair shaft than normal. The
body is medium in length and is rounded.
The head is oval. The ears are upright.

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

Coat Type and
Grooming
Satin Angoras have very long, shiny 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.
