Holland Lop Rabbits
History
Adrian DeCock, of the Netherlands started developing the Holland Lop in 1949. He bred Netherland Dwarfs with French Lops in an attempt to produce a miniature French Lop but instead ended up with what is known today as the Holland lop. The Hollands were brought to the United States in 1976 by Aleck Brooks III who is the founder of the Holland Lop Rabbit Specialty Club. They were given breed status in the United States in 1979.
Description
Holland Lops are a small loveable bunny who have wide long ears, which hang down near their cheeks. Their bone structure is supposed to look large and massive but they actually have a fine bone structure and they don't weigh that much. They have broad shoulders, deep chests, and short thick legs. Being the smallest lop-eared rabbit, their maximum adult size is 4.0 pounds but for showing they should be about 3.5 lbs.
Color differences
Holland Lops come in many colors though they are especially seen in fawn, white, fawn and white, black and white, and tortoise shell colors.

Dogs don't live as long as people do. Their lives are much shorter than ours.
Once I had a Husky, a real pet, that was very wonderful.
I remember those beautiful and wonderful times
we used to have playing together. Now we don't.
I knew she died, but not in my heart.
In my heart, that wonderful pet keeps on living
because she was and is the best dog I ever had,
in my whole life and in this world.Many many years later Sammy
came into our life.
They r sooo adorable!
