The Netherland Dwarf is a popular breed of domestic rabbit originating in the Netherlands. Smaller than most rabbit breeds, Netherland Dwarf rabbits weigh 500 g to 1.6 kg and are usually kept as pets or exhibition animals. They are not typically used as sources of meat or fur because of their small size. They are no more than 3 in.
Most rabbits sold in rabbit shows are Netherland Dwarfs, Netherland Dwarf-derived breeds, or Netherland Dwarf crosses. Their popularity as pets stems from their babyish appearance and their smaller cage space requirement compared to larger rabbit breeds. A lot of people also use Netherland Dwarfs for showing.
