Ultimately, the result was the Holland Lop. The breed was presented in the United States in 1976 and accepted by the Amerian Rabbit Breeder's Association in 1980. They are easy to care for and easy to handle. They should have a big bullish head, ears that hang down and a pose like a dog sitting. They are gentle and sweet.
Males seem to like attention more than females, but of course they are all individuals.
The breed was introduced into England in the 1940's, and then into the United States some 20 years later. Netherland Dwarfs were accepted by the American Rabbit Breeders Association in 1969. The Netherland Dwarf is probably the most popular of the dwarf breeds. They are available in more than 25 colors. They are extremely easy to clean up after and their tiny size makes them easy for a child to handle.
