Is my bunny a mini lop or mixed breed?


So I adopted this beautiful girl last year from a friend of someone we know. They said she’s a mini lop however I’m not 100% sure she is, she’s considerably smaller than the other 3 mini lops I have (she’s around 1.9kg and almost 2 years old), and also her face shape is a bit different. She also has a marking on her neck which I have seen on some Netherland Dwarfs, so I’m wondering if she’s a mini lop x Netherland Dwarf? What are your thoughts? 🐰

    Holland lops are the smallest lop breed, so my bet is on that!

    She’s gorgeous and absolutely identical to my Penelope. Officially penny is a dwarf lop but I’m pretty confident she’s part baby hippo and part shark

    Face shape looks like a mix between mini lop and Holland lop (a smaller breed than a mini lop). Holland lops have very flat faces, hers isn’t quite that flat, but not as pointy as a mini lop face.

    Unsure as I’m not overly familiar with the characteristics, but she is CUTE!

    Thanks everyone, looks like she’s a Holland lop then!🐰 May be a silly question (to be honest I thought mini lops and Holland lops were the same lol), but do Holland lops have another name? I live in the UK so was wondering if Holland lop is what they are known by in the US?

    His ears are very floppy with a good crown- looks absolutely purebred. The floppy ears are a recessive trait, so if there was a gene there for any breed with upright ears, they would not be that floppy and his crown would be tighter.

    I have no idea but sure is an adorable one!
