Jersey Woolies

Since yesterday our friend, Brandy, was wonderful enough to show us her new pair of breeding stock, I wanted to focus on the Jersey Woolies for this post.

The National Jersey Wooly Rabbit Club gives tons of information on the breed. Background information on the breed is as follows, as taken from the NJWRC:

A Little Jersey Wooly History. The Jersey Wooly was first introduced at the 1984 A.R.B.A. Convention in Orlando, Florida by Bonnie Seeley of Highbridge, NJ. In 1988 at the A.R.B.A. Convention, in Madison, Wisconsin, it became a recognized breed. Bonnie originally developed the breed in order to produce a small pet rabbit with wool that was easy to care for. Today, the Jersey Wooly is that, and much more, as one of the most popular breeds of rabbits exhibited around the country with a club membership of over 700 worldwide.Broken Jersey Woolies were accepted as a recognized variety at the 2004 ARBA Convention in Rhode Island.
