Not every rabbit breed was created equal. Only a few breeds that make angora wool, much like the goat breeds.
There are four fluffy rabbits that I can choose from – German, French, Satin and English.
I can tell you one that I already don’t want:
The German Angora, a.k.a. GIANT!
Like its name, it is HUGE. Just look at it! It can weigh up 13 pounds. That is more than I weighed when I was born. Nearly twice. It’s more of a mutant rabbit than anything else. But, it doesn’t molt, shed or leave any of its lovely fibers lying about. German angoras need to be sheared so they end up like (almost) hairless Siamese cats with a white lion’s mane - a funny upside, if you like to embarrass your pet.
But just like school buses that come only in Twinkie orange, German angoras are white with ruby eyes, a la Bunnicula.
So a fat, over-sized, rabid-eyed German angora is not what I want.
Now, only three to choose from.
