===French Angora=== <!--COMMENT Please do not change the above section name: [[List of rabbit breeds]] links here (February 2018)--> [[File:FrenchAngora.jpg|thumb|French Angora ''Chocolate Pearl''|150px]] *'''Weight:''' {{convert|3.5|-|4.5|kg|lb|abbr=on}} *'''ARBA-recognized varieties:''' Agouti, Broken, Pointed White, Self, Shaded, Ticked, and Wide Band This breed has a dense undercoat. If the texture is correct it requires less maintenance than other Angora breeds. Small ear tufts are allowed but not usually preferred by breeders. ARBA recognizes the same colors as with English Angora, plus ticked and wide band. They are shown at ARBA shows using the types 'white' and 'colored' (broken being a colored). As with other ARBA-shown rabbits, toenails should also be only one color. The French Angora is one of the large Angora breeds at {{convert|7.5|-|10.5|lb|kg|order=flip}},<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thesprucepets.com/angora-rabbit-breed-profiles-1835793|last=McLaughlin|first=Chris|title=Angora Rabbit Breed Profiles|date=16 April 2022|access-date=21 November 2022}}</ref> with a commercial body type. It differs from the English, Giant and German Angora in that it possesses a clean (hairless) face and front feet with only minor tufting on the rear legs. The color of a French Angora is determined by the color of its head, feet and tail (all the same color). This variety of angora fibre has smooth silky texture. Beginning spinners may find Angora wool a challenge. Desirable characteristics of the fibre include its texture, warmth, light weight and pure white color. It is used for sweaters, mittens, baby clothes and millinery.
