The History of the
Jersey Wooly
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.
