Mini Rex Rabbit History
The first Rex rabbits appeared in France around 1920, the Europeans started by using Netherland Dwarfs to produce the Dwarf Rex. By 1984, the Dwarf Rex had arrived in America, and a lady named Mona Berryhill had won a pair at an auction. She bred the Dwarf Rex buck to a lynx standard Rex doe, and three does from that litter became the start for the Mini Rex. The breed was accepted for its final showing at the Madison, Wisconsin, convention in 1988.
