Is this right for you?

Common scenarios where this breed tends to fit well or less well

A good match

  • Can commit to frequent grooming and coat checks as a core responsibility

Not ideal

  • Prefer low-maintenance care with minimal weekly grooming time

Social & behavior

Temperament and interaction style

Personality & activity

Often reads steady and people-aware, with moderate activity and a fairly predictable rhythm once settled.

Handling & social style

Many do best with calm, repeatable contact; trust tends to build through short, predictable sessions.

Care & health

Setup, routines, and health considerations

Care overview

Angora-level coat care with a satin sheen—expect frequent grooming as the central commitment, not an occasional task.

Environment & space

Standard medium-rabbit space works, but cleanliness is especially important due to the coat.

Daily routine

Daily coat checks, frequent gentle brushing, and a consistent grooming rhythm are the practical “routine anchors.”

Health sensitivities

Higher risk of mat-related skin issues and wool ingestion if grooming slips.

Grooming / coat

Long wool coat with high grooming demands and frequent maintenance.
