WHAT's the HOLLAND LOP

The Scoop on the World's Most Adorable Rabbit.

Holland Lops have a wonderful temperament especially compared to other rabbits their size. Curious and relatively easily trained, they are fun to watch and fun to work with. They are so sweet!!!

Holland Lops did not originate in their present from in nature. They were bred in the 1960's by combining Netherland Dwarfs, French Lops, and Mini Lops. They were an accepted by the American Rabbit Breeders' Association in 1979. Today Holland Lops are one of the most popular breeds with rabbit fanciers.

They are the best rabbits in the world, no doubt about that! Let me support my conclusion with some information. First of all, Holland Lop are the smallest Lop-eared rabbits, smaller than lops and even mini lops (don’t let that name fool you J).
