OUR FORUM IS UP BUT WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF UPDATING AND FIXING THINGS. SOME THINGS WILL LOOK WEIRD AND/OR NOT BE CORRECT. YOUR PATIENCE IS APPRECIATED. We are not fully ready to answer questions in a timely manner as we are not officially open, but we will do our best.

I was told Luna may not be a Netherland Dwarf because her ears are bigger than most dwarf rabbits. She was born on a rescue farm, and I adopted her about 3 weeks ago. I specifically asked for a Netherland Dwarf, and the farmer seemed very knowledgable, but I’m worried he may have been wrong! What does everyone else think?

I’d be interested to see how she grows a bit yet, but I do agree that she could be a Netherland Dwarf (false). All dwarf rabbit breeds have true and false dwarf individuals. The true dwarfs have a single copy of the dwarf gene, and the false dwarf rabbits have none. They are bred together because a rabbit that receives two copies of the dwarf gene becomes a peanut (which doesn’t live past a few days of age).
False dwarfs have larger ears and less of the squished in face.
