The Jersey Wooly was first introduced at the 1984 ARBA Orlando Convention by Bonnie Seeley of New Jersey...hence the name Jersey Wooly. The breed calls for 2-3" wool, mug-shaped head, short ears, and a compact body type. Their top weight is 3-1/2 pounds. Jerseys are broken down into six groups: Agouti, AOV (Any Other Variety), Self, Shaded, and Tan Pattern. Each of group has several color varieties. The Broken varieties moved to their own group January, 2006.
