The "Dwarf Lop", as it is known is Europe, was developed by Adrian DeCock of Titborg in the Netherlands. His first mating was a Netherland Dwarf buck to a French Lop doe. Offspring from this mating were later bred to English Lops, which helped bring the ear carriage down. The broken pattern was introduced by breeding English Spots and Angoras. The first American convention in which Holland Lops were shown was held in Milwaukee in 1979. There were a total of 27 rabbits shown. Today, national shows attract more than 600 Hollands.
