White Classifications
White colors include Ruby Eyed white (REW), Blue Eyed White (BEW), and Pointed White (Himalayan marked). BEWs and REWs are to be pure white, with no other colored hairs on them. Pointed Whites will have Black, Blue, Chocolate, or Lilac markings on their ears, nose, feet, and tail. They will be as white as possible everywhere elase, and will have pink eyes. Where White Angoras' wool is very dense, it may have a cream cast to it, but the wool is to be as white as possible. Footpads and the genital areas should be clean, but some yellowness is to be expected and not faulted unless dirty or excessive.
These are REW German Angoras at 1 day, 13 days, and 8 weeks of age. These babies are owned by Jan's Giants. The 8 week old buck is Storybook Dreams Snowman, featured on our Boys page.
These BEW babies are from Angel Filby of http://www.angelsbunnies.com/. Can you tell which older bunny is an English Angora and which is a Jersey Wooly? Hint: The EA's ears are fuzzy.
Pointed White babies are born pure white, the markings develop as they grow. This Blue Pointed White baby is 2 weeks old on the left, and 3 weeks old on the right. Can you see the difference?
These are Chocolate Pointed English Angoras from http://www.angelsbunnies.com/.
