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.

The tradeoffs, honestly

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

Common questions

How often do Giant Angoras need clipping?

Every few months, since they do not molt their wool.

What health checks should a Giant Angora have?

Check for mats and wool block signs, and look at teeth and feet. Ask about RHDV2 vaccination and E. cuniculi history.

How much wool does a Giant Angora produce?

More than any other angora breed, thanks to its size and a coat of three fiber types: underwool, awn fluff and awn hair.
