Seattle Surprise

Before I met with Crystal the other day, I e-mailed another rabbit breeder located in Seattle called Aundi’s Angoras.They were a couple that specialized in breeding English angoras. I was excited to find a breeder close by, aside from Crystal, for they were few in numbers in the Seattle area.

Today, they finally replied. I inquired for a white angora rabbit. White because it’s the most sensible fiber to dye, and if they recently had any BEW (blue-eyed white) angoras. They were highly desirable for their blue eyes because it didn't make them look like Bunnicula. 

This a BEW on the Aundi's Angoras website:

 

Kyle, the breeder, said they just had a recent English angora kit, but did not have any white. They did have a smoke pearl bunny, the closest to white. Their dark smoke-pearl coat would lighten as they matured so dying colors would work well. They sent a snapshot of the kit and offered to mail a sample of the yarn they've spun from their rabbits – which I agreed to receive. Needless to say, I scheduled another visit to see the rabbits on Sunday.
Maybe this will be the right rabbit?
Hopefully. I can't stop looking at the picture of the litter he sent me.
