Founder | Bonnie Seeley |
Brief History | Bonnie Seeley of High Bridge, New Jersey developed the jersey wooly by crossing the Netherland Dwarf and the French Angora. She was looking for a small wool breed that would be ideal as a pet with an easy to care for coat. She first introduced the Jersey Wooly at the 1984 American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) Convention in Orlando, Florida. It was recognized by the ARBA in 1988. |
