  ARBA Show Standard

All animals shown at ARBA shows are to follow the Standard of Perfection. Each rabbit is alloted a total of 100 points. Those points are divided up and appointed to a certain attribute of that animal. Each breed's points are divied differently. For example, the Jersey Wooly is given 58 points towards it general body type and 27 points to its wool. Of those 58 points, the body is worth 30, the head is worth 16, the ears are given 10 and the eyes are assigned 2 points. The feet and legs account for 0 points. For the wool's 27 points, 14 of those points go toward the texture of the wool, 8 points are alloted to density and 5 points are assigned to length. The animal's color is given 10 points and it's condition is worth 5 points. The body of a Jersey Wooly is to be short and compact with depth equal to its width. Basically, the Jersey Wooly should ideally be as balanced as a ball. The head should be short and bold with a "wool cap" of short dense wool starting at the base of the ears and going forward. It should also have longer wool along the jawline. The ideal length of the ears is 2 1/2 inches. They should be well furred, thick and have rounded edges. The eyes should be bold and bright. The coat of a Jersey Wooly should have a slight coarse texture brought on by having more thick guard hairs than crimped underwool, creating an easier to care for wool. The coat should be as dense as possible. The ideal length of wool is 3 inches.

History of the Breed
The Jersey Wooly was first introduced at the 1984 ARBA Convention by Bonnie Seely of New Jersey. To create this small, easy-to-care-for wooled breed, Netherland Dwarf's and French Angora's were cross-bred. Four years later, at the 1988 ARBA Convention, the Jersey Wooly was officially accepted as a recognized breed of rabbit by the American Rabbit Breeders Association.
