This might be of interest to any Angora rabbit owners, John McDougall had an Angora doe, the Champion Princess Elizabeth, christened by the Duchess of York. He sent one of the doe’s litter to the real Princess Elizabeth when the Duchess of York became the Queen.
Good luck.

Wishing you all successful breeding for the shows.
Those with clipped rabbits can enter the stud buck/brood doe class with clipped angoras as long as they have show ring in your name and the exhibitor is a member of BRC and NAC.
An excellent entry of 16 angoras in our stock show and the London championship show, sadly Alan couldn’t make it so we didn’t have the full 16, however Peter brought down one of Alan’s smoke adult angoras and with help got it groomed and ready for the show.
Come and meet us at the London Championship show at the East Midlands showground Peterborough, 8/9th October, there will be a good entry of show angora rabbits, plus lots of other breeds.
Plus a product competition for angora products on the Saturday.
