The listing of a breeding under "Upcoming Litters" in no way guarantees babies will actually be born
from the breeding.
Birth of babies also does not quarantee that they will be offered for sale. Babies are kept until
they are at least 8 weeks old in order for me to access their quality. Pricing will not be established
until at least 8 weeks of age.
Deliveries can be made to any show that I plan on attending.
* I have the right to decline the sale of a rabbit to anyone, at any time, at my discretion.
* Pedigrees and any relevant paperwork (registrations, legs, etc) will be supplied at the time of sale.
* Pending - Means someone has expresssed interest in buying this rabbit, but a deposit
has not been received.

received by me. Rabbits must then be picked up within 2 weeks unless other arrangements have been made.
* Sold - Means the rabbit is no longer available.
Think Hard & Long Before You Purchase
I'm going to get on my soap box here for a bit. Don't groan and skip reading the rest of this.
Angora's are an incredibly beautiful rabbit. You see them, especially when young juniors and your
heart just melts, and you WANT one. It can't be helped.
I have taken in two 'rescue' EA's so far, in only one-year. A wonderful breeder I know in
Canada, has recently taken in three. (She by the way, has gorgeous EA's). They were in deplorable
condition. You can read about them
here on her site and maybe get a better understanding of what I'm attempting to say here.
I breed my Angora's so that I can improve the breed. I breed them so that I can have some rabbits
to take to 'the show' and do well with. I DO NOT breed for the sole purpose of turning them into cash.
For this breed, that is just wrong. There is SO MUCH time and care commitment required to correctly
take care of these rabbits. They must be groomed at LEAST once a week. Every other day is optimal in
my rabbits. You can not simply throw them food and water and come back the next day and do it again.
I had four litters this Spring. It was almost more then I could effectively manage. By six weeks
all those little cuties need to be groomed. That baby wool just loves to knot up behind the ears and
in the cheeks. If you don't stay on top of it, there goes that beautiful coat, in a matter of no time
at all. Once it's matted up, there is no other choice then to clip it off and start over. A slow
process.
You must watch their water daily. Are they drinking? If not, they could have wool block.
You must turn into a 'poop' watcher, also almost daily. Are they pooping? Does it look normal or is
it turning into a necklace with strings holding everything together? Could have wool block. Do you
know what to do?
You must blow out their coat because it will expose the nasty wool mites which are almost
inevitable at one time or another. Is there an unusual amount of body dander? Little bite marks?
Is the bunny
suddenly really cranky or scratching at itself a lot? She may have wool mites. Take immediate action.
Again, do you know what to do if this happens? If you don't, you haven't done enough reading yet.
They are almost like having a toddler - you have to watch them all the time.
I'm not trying to diminish the breed in any way, shape or form. I just want to be very clear on
what is required of any future Angora owner. These bunnies need to go to a dedicated owner. I
would be absolutely heart broke to know that something I raised was not being taken care as well as
it should be.
Pet/Wooler Quality: The rabbit most likely has a disqualification of some sort or has a
feature about it that you would not want to perpetuate by breeding (bad body type for instance).
Breeder Quality A breeder COULD have a DQ (for instance mismatched toe nail) that would
not be a factor in breeding. Most likely, they WILL NOT have a DQ. These will be a very nice
animals, but just doesn't have 'the look' of a show animal. Most likely comes from strong lineage.
Would make a wonderful animal to breed with and most likely would be just fine to show (if free of a DQ).
Just not as strong of an animal as Show Quality.
Show Quality No disqualifications at the time of sale. These guys have the 'look'.
In my opinion, they have that 'look at me' about them. Wide, well furnished faces, good crimp to their
wool, and nice smooth bodies are happening here.
