Netherland dwarf rabbits are often timid around humans and can be easily stressed. This is due to their small size and genetic disposition as a prey animal. Rabbits that are not spayed or neutered may also show signs of aggression and be territorial. Despite their tendency towards nervousness, this rabbit breed can still be very lively and playful, especially if raised by attentive owners, states the House Rabbit Society.
Because of extensive breed mixing, Netherland dwarf rabbits can have a large variety of fur colors, including lilac, blue, orange and smoke pearl. These rabbits have small bodies, short necks and broad, compact heads. According to the National Netherland Dwarf Rabbit Club, their ears are erect with round tips and shorter than 5 cm.
Netherland dwarf rabbits were first bred in Holland in the 1900s. They are a cross between the white Polish rabbit and wild rabbits, according to rabbit experts at Pet Website. Until the late 1930s, the only color of the breed was white with red or blue eyes, states the National Netherland Dwarf Rabbit Club. Although the new breed initially suffered tooth and eye problems, responsible breeding has corrected the issue. Netherland dwarf rabbits were introduced into the United States in the late 1960s and have since become one of the most popular varieties of pet rabbits.
