The Angora Rabbit has a long history and believe it or not is one of the oldest types of domesticated rabbits. This particular species of rabbit was extremely popular with French royalty way back in the mid-eighteenth century. Interestingly enough, it wasn’t until the 20th century that they made their way across the pond to North America but I guess it is better late than never as I am sure these large, fluffy animals make great pets. There are numerous individual breeds of Angora Rabbits, however, only 4 our recognized by the Angora Rabbit Breeders Association. These include the English, French, Satin and of course the Giant Angora Rabbit.
