People see WOOL and instantly picture hours of brushing but that's not it at all.

As for size, they are bigger than Netherlands, but not Holland Lops. The maximum weight is 3.5 lbs. Most of mine weigh about 2.5 - 3 lbs.

I have a friend that sends shipments of Woolies and other breeds to Thailand and Japan. I'm sure if there was enough interest she would send a shipment to Singapore.


Thanks for bringing much needed advice into this forum about jersey woolies. Personally, i had a misconception about woolies' fur being hard to upkeep myself when I saw some of them in petshops a few years back.

*Cheers*
