Welcome to Prairie Lily Rabbitry! I am a lover of rabbits and these little rabbits honestly make me so happy! Here is a little more information on the breed!

The Netherland Dwarf rabbit is one of the smallest breeds of rabbit and is a very popular pet throughout the world. These bunnies have an excitable and energetic temperament and this combined with their compact size makes them a perfect companion to many.

The Netherland Dwarf rabbit originated in Holland, hence their name, when five men worked for 30 years to create a standardized small rabbit that would be accepted and available in a variety of colors.

They began breeding all-white Hermelin rabbits with local wild rabbits as well as other domestic breeds until the Netherland Dwarf was created. The Netherland Dwarf was recognized by Holland in 1940. However, WWII interrupted further development.

In 1947, some English breeders were given some of the remaining Netherland Dwarfs in various colors and they were recognized as a breed by the British Rabbit Council in 1950. The Netherland Dwarf Club was also set up in England in 1949.

The breed was accepted by the American Rabbit Breeders Association in 1969 using a modification of the British standard.

All in all if you want an adorable, energetic little creature with adorable personalities then this rabbit breed might be the answer!
