Angora Rabbit Breeds
(This article is under construction. Published in it's early state to provide a quick reference guide.) While there are a number of different angora rabbit breeds around the world, here in North America we have 5 distinct breeds of angora rabbits: German Angora, English Angora, French Angora, Giant Angora, and Satin Angora. Note that while there are other breeds which do produce a fuzzy or wool coat, those breeds are not classified as part of the angora family of breeds. Only breeds created and maintained specifically for fiber production are. While traditionally every ARBA recognized breed has it's own parent breed club, all of the ARBA recognized angora breeds are governed by a single parent club, the National Angora Rabbit Breeders Association or NARBA for short.
