The Mini Rex breed was actually created in the United States. They were derived from Standard Rex rabbits that 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 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 Breeders Association in 1988.
