Origins

The Lop Thumbnail in the UK fell from first dwarf Lops developed in the Netherlands in 1950, known as the Holland Lops or Dwarf Lops. 

Dutch rabbit judge and breeder, Adrianne de Cock, is generally credited with developing the Holland Lop. He set out to create a miniature French Lop, by crossing the Dutch Dwarf Lop France, and while this does not result in a lop-eared rabbit, go cross the English Lops proved to be more successful. It was difficult to breed Dwarf Lops were quite small, but also has a good ear car (the effect produced Netherland Dwarf rabbit, and also introduces a variety of colors, but resulted in numerous erect ears rabbit). 

Year careful selective breeding rabbits resulted in very similar in type to French Lop yet much smaller, and Holland Lops about 2 kg was first shown in 1964. These were imported to the UK in 1970, and selectively bred to produce Dwarf Lop breed in England , recognized in 1977 by the breed standard weight around 2 kg. Meanwhile, Holland Lop breed society was established in the Netherlands in 1970, with the aim of breeding Holland Lops to 1.5  kg. The smaller Holland Lops then imported into Britain in 1980, and grew up with the smallest of the established Dwarf Lop breed Mini Lop to develop. 

The Miniature Lop Rabbit recognized by the British Council in 1994, with a maximum weight of 1.6 kg, and although it shares a common origin with Dwarf Lop, is considered a separate breed. (Minimum weight for Dwarf Lop breed standard was increased to 1.9 kg in 2000, establishing a clear distinction between simple and clear image Lop heavier and bigger Dwarf Lop). The Miniature Lop, Mini Lop often called, has become one of the most popular pet breeds and events. (The Miniature Lop known as Holland Lop in the United States, the United States Mini Lop most similar to Dwarf Lop in English.)

Lionhead Rabbit

Lionhead

Lionhead Rabbit

Lionhead breed profile, one of the descendants of the last rabbit, named for the mane of long hair standing on the edge around the head. They are a small rabbit, lively and energetic but good-natured.

Size: Small / Medium

Hair type: Medium

Origins

The race Lionhead rabbit is one of the newest and has been developed as a result of a genetic mutation that causes hair growth 'mane' on the head. In nature, mutations occur quite frequently, and many descendants still arise from mutations through selective breeding program. 

Lionhead is a large gene mutation before satin rabbits in 1932, and unlike other fur gene mutation is dominant. This means that Lionhead rabbit crossed with normal rabbit will still transmit the genes 'mane' for some children, producing more Lionheads. There are several accounts of where the mutation first occurred Lionhead; some sources say he was born in Belgium, because of the intersection of Swiss Fox with Belgian dwarf rabbits dwarf rabbit to make long-layered, with the offspring then raised with Dwarf Angora. 

Another source said that the mutation occurs only in the litter of purebred Dwarf Angoras , with Lionhead dominant genes spread through the Dwarf Angora breed in Europe. Undesirable traits in Angora dwarf, has tried to regulate genes in a new type of "Tete de Lion '. Whatever its origin, the Lionhead definitely born in Europe, and dwarf angora plays an important role in the early development. Rabbit with genes 'mane' imported into the UK and grew up with other small wool breed and Dwarf breeds , to develop the kind of Lionhead, as we know it today. ( The Netherlands Dwarf has a strong influence on the construction of a compact body shape and small ears of the breed standard, and also introduces a variety of colors). 

The Lionhead officially recognized by the British Rabbit Council in 2002, in all colors and patterns are known. Lionheads imported in the United States around 2000, in which proliferate under development but not yet recognized by the American Rabbit Breeder Association.

Appearance

Lionhead is a small rabbit, weighing about 1.3-1.7kg (3-3¾lbs). 

Lionhead rabbit has a compact, medium build with short stature, broad and round. The head is large, slightly rounded and close-set on the body, with short, erect ears. Lionheads have soft, medium-length hair on the body, with the 'mane' soft wool, 5-7cm (2-3inch) long, standing on the edge around the head and extends to the 'bib' on his chest. 

Nurseries Lionheads faithful to the breed standard is not easy. Rabbits having inherited two dominant genes (MM) will have a double mane; maned twin baby rabbits had normal feathers on the head and back that extend to form vee in the tail, with the hips and bare belly. As they grow, the body develops a normal fur, with a thick head of hair more wool in the head, shoulders and chest, and expand in the form of V-neck back. Many Lionheads double mane have excess hair on the sides and a few tufts may develop at the tip of the ear, this is regarded as an error in the case of series. 

Lionhed Rabbit

Rabbits inherit a dominant gene and a recessive gene (Mm) will only mane; maned rabbit single child had a normal fur, when they grow up they develop more wool around the head and ears are often thinned by an adult. Single rabbit mane usually hybrid, the result of crossing a double mane rabbits with normal rabbit. Crossing two single rabbit produces some mane (MM) double mane, some (mm) single rabbit mane and some rabbits inherits two recessive genes (mm) will have a normal fur. As double rabbit mane often develop too many feathers, and a single rabbit maned normally lose some of their mane in adulthood, multiply by Lionhead ideal is complex.
