A Note to Broken Patterned French Angora Breeders

I have had many people ask me about broken patterned French Angoras.  This information goes for the English and Satin Angoras as well (not yet recognized colors). 

The broken variety is to be shown under “Colored” as oppose to “White”.  There is no special section retained for the brokens.  They are judged with the selfs, agoutis, steels, torts, wide bands…  If you have a broken and were unsure as to where to enter it, colored is the answer. 

It also says in the standard that the rabbit is disqualified if it has less than 10% body color and more than 50%.  Alot of people, including myself, were unsure as to what counted as the body color.  Alot of people had thought that it just counted the top of the body and chest.  Actually, it counts the whole body- head, ears, feet, tail, back, and stomach.  So look over your rabbit and make sure that you have at least 10% body color and not over 50%. 

 I will be breeding broken patterned French Angoras soon.  They are a very beautiful pattern and are a lot of fun to exhibit.

Edited 1/6/14:  I have been raising and breeding the beautiful broken pattern since August 2014.  Here are a few pictures of broken French Angoras.
