I just got my first pair of French Angoras. I LOVE them, but I have no clue what I'm doing. So...
1) How often should I groom them? I've been doing it every day, but I've only had them for about a week.
2) How do I prep them for a show?
3) Do I NEED a blower?
4) My aunt told me that when I breed the doe I have to cut off her wool so that when she pulls hair it doesn't make too big of a mess. Is that true?
5) I also heard that once they've been "sheared" that they can't be shown because the length will be off. Is THAT true? These both have been sheared regularily before I got them, they were purely fiber animals.
Thanks!<br /><br />__________ Sat Dec 03, 2011 10:37 am __________<br /><br />C'mon, I know someone on here has Angoras.
