From 8/21

I have decided to start raising Angoras. I have always wanted rabbits. The Angoras appealed to me with their sweet nature and wool producing capabilities. They naturally shed their beautiful fiber. The fiber can be used in a multitude of art including spinning into yarn and knitting.

After a lot of research online I found Satin/German Angora hybrids to be my favorite. I researched the local breeders and came upon a breeder right here in my own town that breeds English and Satin Angoras. One trip to the Beacon Bend Alpaca Farm had Brett and I were hooked! We quickly knew one of the lovely lilac agouti does had to be ours. I then had to make the decision between two hybrids and a show-quality red Satin doe. The red doe was the same color as our cat and Brett and I had been joking to get a red colored rabbit to match our Benny.

We put a deposit on the 3 month old lilac agouti Satin doe that I'd originally went to go look at and went home to decide on which rabbits we'd also purchase to keep the lilac company. I finally made the decision to purchase the red Satin, Princess Pink, due to her sweet disposition and her show quality fiber. I spent the whole night, awake, thinking of names for my new babies and planning the breeding. I called Cathy the next morning after finalizing my decision on the two does.

Brett will be building the hutch in the next week and my does should be home by the weekend after next. I have chosen papered, high quality purebred Satins to start my herd and am ecstatic with the choices. They are both extremely sweet and have amazing fiber.
