Holland Lop Buck - Connagher

Connagher was purchased on 8/1/11 from a Missoula, MT area breeder at Montana State Fair in Great Falls, MT. He is a Broken Black Otter which is a very unique color.

Holland Lop Buck (Eugene)

Shamrock Rabbits added an outstanding buck purchased from ARBA judge, Allan Ormond, at the recent Powell, WY rabbit show. Eugene, meaning well-bred, has a super pedigree and should really enhance our herd. He was born on Christmas Day 2009 and was originally named Blitzin (one of Santa's reindeer) but his name was changed to reflect his pedigree and also because he was born the day my dad passed away.

Eugene has a nice body, good bone structure, a well-set head and profile and just an overall super buck.

A photo of my dad, Eugene, with his dog as a boy:

Holland Lop Buck - GearUp

GearUp was purchased from a Wyoming rabbitry while at the Montana Fair rabbit show in Billings on August 14, 2011. GearUp has a truly sublime build for a Holland buck with a nice head, ear placement and an all-important stocky, compact build. He already has 2 legs and is an awesome show-quality buck.

More About the Holland Lop Breed

The Holland Lop breed was originated in the Netherlands by crossing Dwarf rabbits with the French Lop and then breeding to English Lops.
In 1976 the Holland Lop came to America.
Being the smallest of the Lop rabbits (3-4 pounds), Hollands make a great pet because they don't require a lot of room.
Hollands are an interesting breed because they are found in a multitude of colors and their popularity is further due to their cuddly size and gentle, friendly nature.
