You've picked out the breed of rabbit you want to start out with.

It's an Angora. This breed of rabbit requires special management. They need to be groomed often, but raising them and selling their wool is an excellent project for young people or hobby for older people.

Angora wool is obtained by pulling the loose hair from the mature coat. You are helping the shedding process and this hand plucking doen't hurt the animal. The plucked wool can then be carded and spun into yarn. Clothing from Angora wool can bring high prices. From the articles I have read, most Angora breeders and wool gathers prefer to sheer their rabbits because it doesn't thin out the fibers like pulling or plucking will. And once your Angoras have been trained to sit, they soon find that sheering feels great.

There are five breeds of Angora.

The English Angora.

The fanciest of the Angora breeds. It is a small animal, 5 to 7 lbs, and is known for its very luxurious soft wool. The English has two color varieties. White and colored. The colored has approximately 30 different shades. The wool is grown to the ends of its feet. And has long decorative wool on its face and ears, which is called furnishings.

The French Angora.

The French is larger than the English. It weighs in at 7 1/2 to 10 1/2 lbs. The French wool is coarser than the English and the normal wool is carried to the first joint of its feet and its head is plain and smooth.

The Giant Angora.

The Giant is the largest of the Angora breeds. If you are planning on showing these beautiful animals, they must weigh at least 8 1/2 lbs. They come only in WHITE and have wool all over like the English. The Giant was also bred to produce more wool,  and are recognized by their all WHITE fur and ruby red eyes.

The Satin Angora

The Satin Angora wool has extra sheen because the hair shaft is more transparent than normal fur, like the Satin fur rabbit. The Satin Angora, like the English and French, comes in white and colored varieties. There is one draw back with the Satin, they don't produce as much wool as the other angora breeds, though the wool is stronger for spinning.

The German Angora

The German has fur and is coarser in texture than the English and French. And it is hard to find a German Angora breeder because most raise the Angora for the fur/wool. German Angora's should be sheered instead of plucked because plucking affects the texture of the wool when it is spun and knitted. German Angora's are great breeders and lovely mothers.  The Germans are not recognized by the ARBA.  The German and the Giant are sometimes confused with each other.  The Giant is actually the cross breed of the German.

There are two other breeds that have wool instead of normal fur. The Jersey Woolly and the American Fuzzy Lop. These are small breeds and due to their small size, they produce less wool and economically not suited for wool production. They are more for showing and as pets.

Now, use your own judgment in picking the Angora you want.

Is your chosen breed raised in your area or surrounding community? If the breed you have selected is popular in your community, you will have more choises in the quality of the animal.

Cost! Some breeds will have higher prices than others.

Care costs. Larger breeds need larger habitats and consume more feed.

Time for grooming? Angoras must be groomed daily and take more time than other breeds.

How easy are they to raise? That depends on the breed you decide upon.
