>I'm really surprised with you pam.Wild animal???????????what wild animal do >u breed a cat to get an angora one? how about an angora rabbit? or a long >hair douches hound? If you noticed in my earlier question, I put "quotes" around the word "wild". This is a way of showing the word is in question. Since I have been breeding domesticated ferrets since 1988 and have never produced a long furred ferret, I was just asking what makes an Angora. No one will answer me directly as to what two "types" of mustelids are producing them. Is the Angora ferret a freak like the Munchkin cat? Why is the breeding so secretive? I feel it is suspect, but offer this forum for someone who BREEDS them (not just an owner or importer) to answer this question of what makes up an Angora. Pam [Posted in FML issue 2053]
