German, British, Russian, German × British, German × Russian and German × British × Russian angora rabbit, are reported. The results do not differ much for the variance analysis of unadjusted means except in the case of post yield slope (<i>PY</i>), breaking load (<i>BL</i>) and stress at 30% extension (<i>F</i>₃₀). The adjusted means of <i>PY</i> with respect to tex do not differ significantly whereas the differences between groups are observed in the case of <i>BL</i> and F₃₀ Based on the homogeneity tests, common regression coefficients of curve parameters on tex are obtained in the case of <i>PY,</i> <i>BL</i>, tenacity at break and extension at break.</span>
