Jenson has a breed question - any Angora lovers?!

[Jenson]

Hey everyone,

I had a nice surprise from my boyfriend yesterday, a 10 week old bunny. I had been planning to have one of his litter of Lionheads but the one I wanted didn't make it past 2 weeks, so hedecided to surprise me with this little beauty.

Now, he was told that this is a purebred Angora buck (turns out he is a she!), which he knew I'd love. However I have never seen an Angora in real lifeso I'm not sure she is purebred at all. The fur is amazing, totally different from a Lionhead, very thick and fine. She has some furnishings coming on the sides and tips of her ears and the fur on her body is the same length all over.

Any thoughts? Also she doesn't have a name yet, so any suggestions welcome!

Wow, thanks for the name list! I love Lacy for her!

I will take some more photos in a bit, she does look like a Lionhead but she doesn't feel like one. I've had quite a few Lionheads and my boyfriend breeds them but I've never had one that felt like the coat on this one. It's amazing!

My lionhead isn't nearly that fuzzy! dunno though. I was gonna name the female I was getting Ostara (original for easter, she's a goddess I think. The my favorite to come up on a google search for bunny goddesses lol) , seems to fit your little pretty.

Oh Jenson! What a GORGEOUS lil girl! Whatever name you give her she will carry it with grace. I LOVE the color points. A lovely beauty! Best of luck with her!

She's really cute!!

I like Lacy and Ostara for her too! Love her colour! And look at that face!! Too cute! She looks like a cuddler for sure.

I am not sure if she is purebred or not. I haven't seen young angoras in person before and don't have much experience with the different breeds. She is probably and English angora. Not sure if you have different breeds in Ireland though.

She is adorable and will keep you busy for many years to come.
Are you planing on growing the wool? It is more work it you do, but so worth it. If you don't plan of using the wool, it is best to keep them shorter.

I am really bad at naming, especially females.

i like guinevere (spelling?) and you could call her Gwen for short but then you will have to get a lancealot LOL

Doesn't look like an English Angora baby - looks like some type of dwarf angora or fuzzy lion.
