Hi, I'm Gail Smith. I started raising Angora Rabbits in 1986 in
Windsor, Maine. I was an avid spinner and liked the idea of raising my
own fiber. I looked at sheep and goats, but finally chose Angora
rabbits. My spinning time was limited, and I wanted to make the most of
it. Angora has a wonderful feel, is ready to spin just as it comes off
the rabbit, and makes yarn that is the height of luxury. You can't beat
the feeling you get when you give someone a gift made from your homespun
and they say "Oooh,
that's
Wonderful!!!"
I began with six cross breed does and a buck and was very quickly
hooked. Then I discovered German Angoras. I fell in love with these
gentle creatures. I couldn't believe the amount of wool they produced -
at least twice the wool of the best rabbit in the barn. All of our
Germans are descended exclusively from imported German stock.
In 1998 we moved across country to settle in Silverton, Oregon.
Today our rabbit barn is home to 20 to 30 rabbits. We have a
variety of black and albino German Angoras and a few German Hybrid
Angoras. If you would like to adopt one of our rabbits, please contact
us to see what we have available. We do ship!I am currently
President of the International Association of German Angora Rabbit
Breeders (IAGARB).
