Somewhere, within more than 10 inches of expertly groomed, shampooed and primped fur, is one pampered rabbit.
Ida the English Angora resides in among a pristine white ball of the softest hair - or 'hare' if you prefer.
Ida's owner Betty Chu, is the owner of the only Angora rabbit that has ever won the Open Best in Show in the ARBA (American Rabbit Breeder Association) National Convention.
Betty is a well-respected figure in the rabbit showing community and offers information on care, grooming, showing, color genetics and judging English Angoras.
Her rabbits tour across the state for display in shows as part of the Northern California Angora Guild.
Betty grooms the bunnies with an adapted brush and hairdryer which can also used as a vacuum cleaner to give the impressive volume to the fur.
The English Angora is a breed of domestic rabbit bred for its long, soft wool.
Their wool is very dense and the rabbits need to be groomed at least twice a week
