More About Holland Lops
Weight
Holland Lops are the smallest lop-eared breed, weighing only 3-5 pounds when fully grown. Males are almost always lighter than females, and often weigh no more that 4 pounds when completely matured. Females usually weigh 4-5 pounds when fully grown. However, this is not always the case, as one of my full-grown females weighs just over 3 pounds.

Colors
Holland Lops come in many different shades and color-patterns. Some of the most common solid colors are; Orange, Fawn, Black, White, Chocolate, and Blue. They also can come in a mixture of colors all swirled together including; Tort-Brown, Calico, Harlequin and many other combinations. Lastly, Holland Lops can be found with "broken" colors and patters.

The Vienna Gene
The Vienna Gene... and how to create Blue-Eyed-Whites (BEWs)
The Vienna Gene is a recessive gene that when, bred in different combinations, can create BEWs which are Solid-White lops with blue eyes. There are two different types of Vienna gene carries. The Vienna Marked (VM)(Vv) and the Vienna Carriers (VC)(Vv), both are are carriers of the recessive Vienna gene (Vv). The Vienna Marked (VM)(Vv) have different markings which show that they are carries of the Vienna gene. The Vienna Carries (VC)(Vv) carry the Vienna gene, but don't have any marking to show it. Vienna Marked (VM) and Vienna Carriers (VC) are the same thing... (Vv). The only difference is whether you can tell if they are carries by their markings or eyes, or not. Here are some of the combinations which create BEWs.
Colored Rabbit (VV) + (VM) or (VC)= 50% of the babies will be Vienna gene carries, 50% will be non-carriers.
Colored Rabbit (VV) + BEW (vv)= All babies will be (Vv) the will be Vienna gene carries, but there will be no BEWs.
(VM) or (VC) + (VM) or (VC)= 50% of the babies will be Vienna gene carries, 25% will be BEW, and 25% will be non-carriers.
BEW (vv) + (VM) or (VC)= 50% will be BEWs, and the other will be Vienna Carriers (VC)(Vv).
BEW (vv) + BEW (vv)= 100% BEWs!
You can tell if your rabbit is a Vienna Marked (VM)(Vv) by looking for different markings such as a solid lop with white spots, patches, or stripes, white toenails, or blue, marbled, or hazel eyes etc. Vienna Marked rabbits are not showable.
