Here's my boy, Chompers. He's very affectionateand low key, much more mellow than my other two. Of course, he's nowalmost five, so that plays a big part.

I love his ears, soooo soft and he just loves having them rubbed. Plus, he does this cute butt shake thing when he hops around.

As far as intelligence, I don't see any difference between any of my rabbits. They're all too smart for their own good.

Hollands are a GREAT breed. I recently added tomy bunny family by getting a Holland Lop this summer.I fellin love with the breed basically when I was first introduced to them onthis forum.

This is my baby:

She has some eye issues but is very sweet, friendly, loves to givekisses. Is rather laid back in comparison to my boys at 12 weeks. She'svery sneaky and can loves to give me heart attacks! But I love her somuch!

This is my Holland Lop boy Blaise as a baby...

And here he is now...

I don't think I would summerize the whole breed, because all Hollandsare so differant and unique. But, my blaise is such a sweetheart! Afterhe gets all of his binkys out of his system he loves to flop outinfront of me for a nice nap. He loves to be pet, and is very smart. Ihave taught him how to play bunny "catch"...whereI roll aball to him and he rolls it back! I think you will just love the breed!

 

[loppylove]

ohhhh!!!!!!!!!! they are allll soooooooooooooo cute! very adorable looking!

 

[Bramble Briar86]

I raise holland lops, and agree with everything everyone else has said, a very loving and active breed! By far my favorite!

Fauna, pictured below, watches out for me somuch. When she and Tucker are out, and if I have to correctTucker a couple of times, if he ceases to listen to me, Fauna will beatfeet and chase him all over the place. Takes his mind rightoff of going back to the point of trouble and ignoring myscolding. She's excellent that way.

She had conjunctivitis when I had gotten her and it resulted in ablocked tear duct. Vet told me that I have to clean her eyesevery day with a warm compress because once blocked, even if operatedon - which is very hard because it's such a small area, chances arehigh that it would just block up again. As a result of this,Fauna makes Tucker clean his eyes for her if he doesn't do itvoluntarily. She'll run right up to him and bump him, andwon't give up until he's fixed her up. He's usually excellentabout doin this on his own free will, but if he doesn't, she makes sureshe gets her needs met.

She's an absolute doll. Was a rescue when she came tome. Completely ignored by the family that had her.Got her at 4 years old and she didn't know what hay, treats or toyswere. Needless to say, she's the first one to eat her treatsnow, Loves her hay, and tosses those toys around quite a bit.

She's gorgeous inside and out. Comes to me quite often duringthe night when she's out for pets and kisses. She's reallythe one in control of the others; although she lets Tucker think heis. She's not high maintenance in her personality at all, butboy, when she wants something, she makes sure she gets it.Very laid back bunny with a very strong will.

This is my Holland Lop, Baby. She is asweetheart. She has issues with being handled because she wastaken from her mother too soon and put in an open case in a pet shopwhere every kid through the door grabbed at her. Despite thattrauma, she's very sweet and will crawl all over me when I get in thefloor with her.

She is the one mostoften picked on bymy other rabbits, but themost forgiving.

I have two Holland Lops. Mine are both verysweet, playful,and active, but I think the shyness depends ontheindividual rabbit. BlueBelle is very out going, whileCupCake is more shy around people she hasn't met. As for smart I don'tknow that that depends on the breed as much as it depends on therabbit. My rabbits don't like to be ignored, so they make all types ofnoise to get my attention. They also get bored easily, so I have to letthem run and play a lot or they move their food bowls, litter boxes,etc. But they are big sweeties, I love them to death!

BlueBelle is a Blue Tort and CupCake is Black. Sorry these pictures areso close up. I have to upload some current ones to my computer still.
