A LITTLE ABOUT WOOLIGANS
aaWooligans is located in a former art studio behind our
main house in Northern California. The studio is carpeted
and has heating and air conditioning. There are three
3-stackers, two 6-stackers, several single cages, a
Thomas train layout, an unassembled swing set and
various household castoffs.
aaWooligans started out as a Lisa Knott's 4-H project in
1994. As a youth exhibitor, she successfully bred and
showed Woolies for 5 years. Work, marriage and the birth of
2 children, Tyler, now age 5, and Julia, 3, made it difficult to
continue breeding and showing the rabbits. In 2004 Lisa
was once again drawn to Woolies and now has a thriving
herd of 25 rabbits, with more always arriving, via the
pregnant does.
aaWooligans keeps trying to specialize in brokens and
blue-eyed whites, but all colors except pointed whites are
available. Let Lisa know what you're looking for, and
she'll help you in any way she can.

A LITTLE ABOUT JERSEY WOOLIES
aaThe Jersey Wooly is a newer breed of rabbit that was accepted into the ARBA in 1988. They are a dwarf breed with a maximum weight of 3.5 lbs. Most Woolies weigh in the 2.5-3 lb range. I think the wool aspect really scares people off. They see wool and imagine lengthy grooming sessions and hours of hard work. I am happy to report that the wool of a Jersey Wooly is "easy care", having more hair like guard hairs than cottony undercoat. I rarely ever brush my adult woolies. Junior coats require a bit more care until they grow in their senior wool. I brush my juniors about once every week or two.
aa Generally, Jersey Woolies have exceptionally mellow temperments. They are a good breed for children because they are gentle and friendly (the rabbits, that is), and also small and easy to hold...not to mention CUTE! They are a great breed to show because they don't have the insanely huge entries and competition of breeds like Holland Lops or Mini Rex. Usually, there are the "perfect" number of entries...enough to get legs without having to compete against 100+ other rabbits. I would recommend Woolies to anyone, whether you want a pet or a competitive show rabbit. They are a great breed!
