One look and you can’t help but fall in love with them. If you’re interested in getting one of these beauties, you may want to know everything you can about the breed.

Origin   

The first Holland Lop originated in Netherlands, coming from the efforts of breeder Adriann de Cock who combined the genes of a French Lop and a Netherland Dwarf rabbit. His initial try didn’t produce the Dwarf Holland Lop that we know today.

Being a dwarf breed, the Holland Lop is a tiny package of charm, weighing only around 4 pounds in adulthood and about 4-5 inches tall. It has a broad head with a puff of hair at the back, which became known as the “crown.”
