Well, they weren't really found; they are actually a fairly recent breed. Mini Rex were derived from the Standard Rex rabbit, which were imported into the United States from France in 1924. In 1974, a Dwarf Rex was bred with a small Standard Rex, which was the start of this breed. Their unique, dense, plush, velvet like fur was caused by a mutation seen in wild rabbits in France in the late 19th century. The Mini Rex was first recognized as a breed by the American Rabbit Breeder's Association in 1988.
