Ariel Hayes

Ariel Hayes of Troy, Michigan was the original breeder to try and "shrink" the Satin into a small breed. She bred her Satin's with Polish. By the time she discontinued the project she had the rabbits down to 4.5 pounds. She called the breed Satinettes.

Bob Pettit picked up the breed. He crossed his Satins with Netherland Dwarfs. Joining Pettit were Sue and Verle Castles. The Castles obtained the COD for the breed.Unfortunately they were unable to maintain the COD.

Jim Krahulec continued the breed development. He changed the name to Mini Satins. He also purchased the herd of the Castles. His presentations did not pass.

Leo Collins picked up the COD in 1999. In 2005 at the ARBA convention, the breed passed its 3rd showing. The breed was born. The only approved variety at the time was white.
