The detail
Giant Angoras are the largest angora breed, recognized by ARBA in 1988 and bred for heavy wool production. Unlike other angoras they do not molt, so the wool must be clipped or sheared on a schedule to keep them comfortable.

What to weigh
Giant Angoras need regular clipping and grooming, or they overheat and develop wool block. They are only accepted in ruby-eyed white by ARBA.
