History: They are still a new breed, just being accepted in 1988, the same year that the Jersey Wooly, and the Mini Rex were accepted. They came from the Holland Lop, which sometimes throw what is called a “Wooly Holland”. This was caused by breeders breeding an Angora into their imported Holland Lops to help improve the fur. These Wooly Hollands were later bred together to develope the American Fuzzy Lop.

Fun Facts: the AFL's wool should be at least 2 inches in length
