Jersey Woolies are a dwarf rabbit breed. The breed is a cross between an Angora and Netherland Dwarf. The ideal weight of an adult is 3 pounds with a maximum of being 3.5 pounds. The breed became an official ARBA Breed in 1988. Our herd consists of Agouti, Broken, Self, and Tan Groups. We do like all the wonderful colors of the Jersey Woolies, however, our main goal is to develop a conformational balanced show quality herd.
The Polish Rabbit* is in fact an English breed developed in the late 1880s they were recognized by ARBA as a breed in 1938. They have the nickname of the "Little Aristocrat" as this regal little rabbit breed is known. Polish are considered a dwarf rabbit breed. The ideal weight of an adult is 2.5 pounds with a maximum of being 3.5 pounds. Large, bold, expressive eyes are a distinctive feature of the breed. Right now our herd consists of Black, Broken, and Chocolate Varieties. Again, our main goal is to develop a conformational balanced show quality herd. * Photo courtesy of the American Polish Rabbit Club.

Since we have been showing rabbits we have met so many new friends who love the rabbit world like ourselves. These new friendships get stronger at each show we attend and have also even grown stronger away from the show table as well. We LOVE to show our rabbits, but what we love even more is the FUN we have at each show with our friends and future friends. Please stop by and say "Hi!" we would love to meet you and get to know you {We can talk "rabbit talk" too if you want!}.
We wanted our rabbitry to include our family heritage. Don has played the bagpipes for 20+ years and is a Pipe Major of
