The Netherland Dwarf is the smallest 'pet' breed of rabbit. There is a smaller breed known as the Polish, which looks very similar to a Netherland dwarf, however is more lean, and very similar in looks to a hare in miniature, however the temperament of a Polish rabbit is perhaps not the best temperament for a 'pet' rabbit. Adult Netherland Dwarfs weigh in at approx. 2 1/2 Lbs. They have very short fur which is easy to maintain. Personally, I do find them a little more timid and shy compared to the lop and lionhead breeds, but if you have patience and lots of one to one TLC to offer this breed, there is no reason why they cannot be just as loving as the lops and lionheads.
