| What is a Holland Lop ? | |||||||||
| In our opinion the coolest rabbits ever!! Okay maybe you would like a little more information. The Holland lop is a dwarf lop eared rabbit. It is not to be over 4 lbs with an ideal weight of 3 lbs. Often pet Hollands will be 4 to 5 lbs. The Holland Lop breed , as the name implies was first developed in Holland. The founder of the breed was Adriann DeCock of Tillborg Holland. They were originally a cross between a French Lop and Netherland Dwarf. In January of 1964 he had refined the breed to 2kgs and presented four Hollands for inspection. The breed spread through out Europe. Aleck Brook's is created with importing Hollands to America. In 1979 the Hollands were accepted by the American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA). Most Holland lops love attention, especially being scratched on the forehead. They are great for women like me whose babies have grown up. (My daughters are 8 and 12). Our Hollands will gladly sit on my shoulder and cuddle like a baby. With kind loving treatment a Holland can be a social member of your family. |
