Mini Lop

Mini Lop: Also known as a "German Lop". Within the UK, Miniature Lops are very much the same as Holland Lops. The ideal weight for showing a mini lop is 3 lb 6oz. Then there is the Dwarf Lop, these are around 5 lb 4oz. Followed by the German Lop which is around 8 lb, then finally the French Lop which is 10 lb+. The smallest of these is the Holland Lop [in the US otherwise known as the Miniature Lop] in the UK weighing around 3 lb (1.4 kg) and being a close relative of the Netherland Dwarf. The next largest is the Mini Lop in the US which has a weight range of 4 1/2 to 6 1/2 pounds, followed by the English, German, Meissener and French Lop breeds. The Meissener is a very rare breed available in only a couple of colours and is hardly ever seen at shows. They weigh around 3 and 1/2 and live to be approximately eight years.
