Type:
They are to be posed up, with their chest full, short thick front legs lightly on the table. Full solid shoulders holding up a large wide head, with flat nose. The crown is to sit high on the head. It should be full and wide in all directions, and have good substance to it. So wide that the ears fall down and hang close to the eye. Ears are to be short, spoon shaped, well furred, thick and lay flat to the cheeks. The body is to start full and wide at the base of the head with no neck. Then quickly over the wide shoulders to hip curving down to the table. The body should be short, and massive. Back legs are to be parallel to each other. They should sit so the front of its back feet are under the front of the hip. The entire body is to look compact, full, and solid. Fur should be crisp and roll back into place. They mature to no more than 4 pounds. Some may be small as two and a half pounds. The size is important but not as important as the uniform look of the over all Holland. Head is to be 1/3 of the body. Should be as wide as they are deep.
After years of breeding the Holland lop, there is still a lot to be learned about them. It seems harder to get that perfect cut and paste Holland Lop than in other breeds. This breed can be tricky for some. Many different body shape's can appear in pairing the wrong parents, or even the right ones. Also more often than not they loose litters. They have double dwarf peanuts, which die. They in many ways are like a Dwarf in that they are usually more active and personable, but much less aggressive. Then they have a softer side like in the larger lops. The kind that will sit up and show off their stuff on a show table when he has it going on. Or run to the front of the cage when he sees you for a pet on the head. I love them also because of the very wide variety of color and personalities. I have had these small lops for most of my life. I hope to enjoy and share them for many years to come.
Blood Line:
Over the year's I have
collected many different blood line's. Bringing in color and type to my
likings. There are a few main breeder's that I do work with more than
other's. As I love the type of their animals. I have many rabbits that go
back to Camelot Rabbitry. Including Camelot's Coal, Camelot's Capone,
Camelot's CJ to name a few. Other name's you may know from the Holland Lop
world who's blood lines I work with include: Wardlow (CJ's), LJ's Rabbitry
(Braun's), LotsaLop's, Campo's, Mueller's, For-Get-Me-Not, Uecker's, West's,
Tune's, MT's, Gebault's, Seminole Wind's, Price's, Debbie Russell... and the
list goes on. However, most of my current Holland's are from many
year's of Bonne Bunny's breeding.
