Jan, I am thinking about working on Silver Marten Angoras for my own spinning reasons and would love to start a conversation on the subject! Would this be...
Janet, I have a couple of French does and a German/French hybred buck. So. . . I was thinking of using the blue otter wooly buck that I have with the French...
... doing ... I'm not Jan, but in addition to my Angoras, I have Otter Rex. I've been thinking that when I have a little cage space, I'd like to try a few...
Hi Dawn, Well, I used Tans to get my pattern and rufus. Actually, if the angora you use is a self, you'll get the pattern right off, since "at" is dominant to...
Hi Sally, If I could have gotten an otter Wooly, I would have gone that route, but I couldn't find one. I have read of others making crosses to woolies and...
Dawn, I have talked to others that have mixed Rex and Angora and the rex coat messed up the angora coat even into 4th and 5th generations. Great density but...
Janet, So what do you think about the angora buck to the wooly doe? Babies are usually about the same size when born so I am thinking that I should be ok, but...
Hi Sally, I think, like you said, babies are usually pretty much the same size. My only concern would be during breeding, I don't know if the big buck could...
Hi Sally, I read with interest what you are thinking about doing. I guess when you say wooly you mean a Jersey Wooly. I did some experimenting of my own in...
Janet, I guess I had not worried about the buck hurting the doe as I have alway's done table breeding. Maybe I will just breed the wooly doe to another wooly...
Barbara, Wow! You took on a lot! I played with JW's and AFL's in chocolate and BEW years ago. The ear thing was more than I wanted to try to fix. The whole...
... Lol...I actually have a rescued rabbit here who is a result of multi- generational Rex/Angora crossing. The "breeder" had started with one Rex doe and a...

So, folks, we have the second-rarest breed in the USA. What are we going to do about it? Janet ... disappearing ... They ... recorded, ... by ... to ... last ...
Hey Janet I am really at a loss here I have been racking my brain trying to think of something. The only thing I can think of is we have to get these guys to...
Keep breeding!! I have 6 weaned Giant bunnies as of now that I am taking to PA state convention. I seem to have pretty decent luck with breeding them. So...
Unfortunately, we have not managed to have a single litter in 5 years. I know it is not the stock since they are all wonderful with great bloodlines. I am...
Hi Dustin, There will be a new angora club forming in Ohio that will allow members to sponsor shows in the surrounding areas as well. No dues, no hassle, you...
Hi Chris, My guess would be either heat, age of your rabbits, or maybe both. Have you gotten new stock lately? Janet ... years. I ... bloodlines. ... house ...
Hey Janet, Yes I am a member of that group and know Lisa too so that will be easy. Thanks for the thoughts I will see if I can find a show and put something...
Hi Dustin, Of course you can! I'm always there for ya if you need help! :) Janet ... will be easy. Thanks for the thoughts I will see if I can find a show ...
Janet, We don't have heat over 70 and I have been buying stock since I started in German/Giants in 2000. We have only had 1 pure litter that died in less than...
Hi Sally, I believe you, but there are many of us who don't have issues. I have found that if I breed my young does before they are a year old, preferably...
Well I have found that feeding a feed that "claims" to not have corn in the feed helps a great deal!! I had thought that the corn thing was the mold that can...
Hey Sally, I have a litter of Giant/French crosses and my goal is to use them to give my French better, more filled out commercial bodies. Yeah, I know you...
I have updated my website and for sale page. I have some French and Giants Angoras available and a list of expected litters. Thanks Dustin Commiskey IN...
