I **think** (please correct me if im wrong)

That there is no breed called a "Dwarf Lop" but there is a Holland lop and a Mini Lop.

Thank You, that is very interesting because i was told by the pet shop that i was buying two dwarf lops lol

Anyway i'm going to look through my books tonight, just to check but im sure your right

No, in the UK we have mini lops, dwarf lops,cashmere lops, english lops, velveteen lops and french lops (I don'tthink I've missed any out:?), but we don't have holland lops. Our minilop is equivalent to the US holland lop, and our dwarf lop isequivalent to the US mini lop.So to answer your questionthe difference is that they are just different breeds. Check out theBRC website for more information:

Is a chashmere lop the same as an american fuzzy lop?

 

[Bunnys_rule63]

I think so, although I'm not 100% sure. Here is it's breed standard if you want to compare:
