The Holland Lop Rabbit (Also known as Dwarf Lop) is the smallest breed of the lop rabbit family. All rabbits belong to a bigger family called Lagomorphs, which include rabbits, hares, and pikas. This type of rabbit is very popular and well liked by many rabbit enthusiasts, pet owners and breeders in USA because of its compact size and attractiveness or "cuteness". It is characterized for having a bulky, stocky and a muscular body; its ideal weight is 3 lb although some may reach a maximum weight of 4 lb.
This tiny gorgeous breed marked its beginnings when a man by the name of De Cock sought to combine the best qualities from two rabbit breeds, the French Lop (known for being large and having floppy ears) and the Netherland Dwarf rabbits, into a new breed. His scheme was to breed a petite French lop with the body features of a Netherland dwarf, thus creating quite a challenge. In the winter between 1949 and 1950, De Cock decided to breed a White Netherland Dwarf Doe to a French Lop Buck and obtained undesired dwarf lop rabbits. Unsatisfied, he decided to switch the genders in the breeds, he bred a French Lop Doe and a Netherland Dwarf Buck, and got 6 miniature lops.
In addition, De Cock bred an English Lop Buck and a Netherland Dwarf and obtained 5 lopped rabbits, 2 rabbits with upright ears, and the remaining ones were with half-lopped ears. He later thought that if he could make the lopped-ear rabbits reproduce, he would get the Holland lop, but got disappointed and unwanted looking rabbits were born. Finally, he inseminated a half-lopped doe rabbit to a buck from one of the initial breeding of 6 rabbits, and procreated what we know today as the Holland Lop.
