The purpose of the research was to determine the level of improvement in skin production and how to express the strength and elasticity of curls. The importance of these characters is essential because both participate in shaping a certain type of curl that will have the quality of keeping the main shape and characteristics for a longer time. The biological material subject to appreciation belongs to the Karakul of Botoșani breed located in the Principal Class of the Genealogical Register. The experimental protocol was based on the assessment of the characters in three consecutive seasons and aimed at determining the degree of improvement of the curl for several selected characters. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the black variety average score is close to the maximum, thus indicating that the improvement of these characters is in a more advanced phase. Determining the degree of significance between the average scores for the gray and pink varieties are significant for P<0.01 and still significant for P<0.05 between pink and grayish.
