HOLLAND LOPS are the smallest of the lop breeds, and were developed by Mr. Adrian De Cock of the Netherlands. In 1949 he tried to produce a miniature French Lop by crossing a French Lop with a dwarf and that offspring was bred to an English Lop. Later breedings brought another dwarf into the line ultimately resulting in a new breed presented in the U.S. in 1976 and accepted for exhibition by the Amerian Rabbit Breeder's Association in 1980.
Hollands are often confused with Mini Lops which are actually larger. The ideal weight for a Holland is 3 pounds although many get up to 4-1/2 pounds. The Mini Lop is 5 to 6-1/2 pounds. See some of the other types of lops breeds in the pics below.
From left to right you have English Lop, French Lop, Mini Lop, and the American Fuzzy Lop:
Holland Lops are very popular as a child's pet because of the gentle nature and small size. We have a number of adorable Hollands for sale including some breeding age. See link below for pics and prices!

Basic Guidelines
by Susan Weaver, TX
FOOD: To Feed or Not to Feed
When you first get started you will ask everyone who will stand still about feed. I have heard of feeding everything from bacon to comfrey. I have found that most of the old breeders try to raise a rabbit that will do well on a good fresh basic rabbit pellet & water with a possible supplemental grain. Most breeders want to raise a hardy, meaty, health, prolific, trouble free rabbit that can genetically pass on these features. If you have to medicate & supplement too much, you are working too hard. Also always keep your feed in dry covered containers.
CLEANING: Clean, Clean, Clean, YES - CLEAN
I have found this guideline doesn't change. Cleanliness & ventilation are two of the most important things that you can give your rabbits. Removing the poop and urine on a regular basis is very important. Ammonia & odor in the barn are detrimental to rabbits & can cause an enormity of problems from respiratory to flies carrying germs. I recommend a stringent cleaning program with a good odor removing produce and disinfectant. This includes cleaning the cages, pans, feeders and watering containers, and scrubbing walls & removing hair & webs from cages.
