History Of The Holland Lop The Holland Lop was developed by Mr. Adrian DeCock of the Netherlands, who called them "Netherland Dwarf Lops". In 1949 Mr. DeCock started working on making a minature French Lop. He bred Netherland Dwarfs to French Lops and did not have any success reaching his goal. In 1952 he introduced some English Lops into the French/Dwarf line. He bred a English Lop buck to a French/Dwarf doe. A buck from this mating was then line bred to does form the same or a second mating. He later crossed in more dwarf, thus reaching his goal of a rabbit under 4 1/2 lbs. The "Netherland Dwarf Lop" was accepted by the Netherland's Governing Rabbit Council in January 1964. The first Holland Lops appeared in the US in 1976. They made their first presentation to the Standards Committee at the 1979 ARBA National convention, which was held in Tucson,AZ. They were recognized and accepted into the ARBA Standards by the American Rabbit Breeders Association in 1980. |

About My Hollands Holland Lops are one of my favorite breeds that I raise. You just can't beat their curious, outgoing, personality. I try to have all of my Hollands registered before I use them for breeding. While I have good quality Hollands, I don't show them quite as often as I used to. I mainly like to raise and show "the other colors" (basically anything but Tort), and while some of them can be quite nice, on the average they tend not to be quite as typey as the more common and popular Torts. My line of Hollands can be traced back to Bunny Boo, Critter CoOp, Tunes Folly, Fallen Ears, and Rorhbaugh lines just to mention a few. Please go and see all my pretty "other colored" Hollands, and if you are looking for a Holland Lop stop by my sale page to see what I have available now and what is coming up. |
