    Notable facts

    It is the only Angora breed completely covered in wool, including the head, ears, and feet.

    Breeding recommendations
    • Wool harvested every 90–100 days to prevent matting and wool block.
    • Daily brushing mandatory to manage fine, silky wool.
    • Yields lower than Giant or German varieties but very fine.
    • Calm and docile but easily startled.
    • Yield ~250–500 g per harvest.
