HOLLAND LOPS

ARBA Members

Holland Lops is a breed of rabbit originating in the Netherlands. The breed was recognized by the Netherlands' Governing Rabbit Council in 1964 and the American Rabbit Breeders' Association(ARBA) in 1979. They are popular house pets, and are very popular and competitive for show. They are also known for their sweet temperament and non-aggressive  behavior, though they retain a certain dog-like tenacity. 

 

The Holland Lop is a small compact breed. Lops have a stocky build, with a short, thick-set body, rounded haunches and short, strong legs. The head is broad with a strongly curved profile and broad thick tear-drop/spoon shaped ears that hang down beside the head. 

 

Holland Lops have a dense coat of soft, medium lenght hair. 

 

The average adult Holland Lop can get up to 4.5 pounds. The ideal weight is between 3 to 4 pounds.

 

The Holland Lop's lifespan can range from 7 to 12 years! Please keep this in mind when purchasing one of our Holland Lops - Rabbits are for life, not a buy-on-a-whim and forget about toy.
