Gorgeous French Angora Does

This is Brat, my chinchilla French doe. Yes, She is a "Brat"! She has done very well on the showtables- granded this Summer. Brat is now retired from showing to be a brood doe and fiber producer. She gave us 2 very nice litters. Colors included chocolate chin, REW, chocolate agouti, chocolate, silver tipped steel and sable. As Jrs. her offspring have done well for themselves at the shows. I kept all of her babies except one. I'll let you know how they do as Srs. soon! She is currently bred to my chestnut agouti buck.



This picture of my chocolate agouti doe was taken just as she became a Sr. That same day I removed her coat and bred her to my chestnut buck. She now has 9 kits in her nest box. The colors appear to be chocolate agouti, chestnut, black, chocolate and chocolate chin. She has excellent type and did well on the showtable but got beat out most of the time by her black sister who is a bit nicer. I look forward to weaning her litter and conditioning her to go back onto the showtable as a Sr.


This black doe is the litter mate to the above doe. They are out of a chestnut doe and a lilac buck. Everytime she hit the showtable she has been 1st place Jr. doe. She is now a Sr. and has 8 kits in her nestbox. Her litter was 12 LARGE so I fostered some out to other does. As soon as her litter is weaned she will be shown as a Sr. and will be a hard one to beat!

Bunnies from all three of these does will be up for sale this late winter and early Spring. If you are interested in purchasing one email me at rjekmc@yahoo.com.
