Dwarf lop eared
History
The Dwarf Lop is a very popular pet and exhibition rabbit. Produced from
the French Lop, the Dwarf lop first appeared in Holland in the 1950s and
is known as the Holland Lop in America. The breed was recognised by the
British Rabbit Council in 1976. Dwarf lops have a well-muscled
appearance and weigh 2.04kg (4lb 8oz). They have broad lop ears that are
carried close to the head to give a horseshoe like appearance. Their
coat is dense and quite long,and care must be taken to maintain it.
Behaviour
As with any rabbit the Dwarf lop can make a good pet if it
is handled well, offered companionship and provided with
sufficient space to have regular exercise.
