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.
