Miniature bunnies
In the United States, several breeds of miniature house bunnies enjoy special popularity both as show animals and as pets.

Netherland Dwarfs are undoubtedly the most popular of the dwarf breeds. Cute and cuddly, they are available in a wide variety of colors and patterns.

Mini house bunnies get to know your scent and will seek you out for petting and attention. The American Polish contains genes primarily from the British Polish and Netherland Dwarf breeds. It is one of the oldest breeds found in the United States.

The Mini Dwarf Lop and Holland Dwarf Lop are both miniaturized versions of the popular Lop-eared rabbit. With their droopy ears and cute countenance, Dwarf Lops have developed a loyal following in the United States.

The Dwarf Hotat is a unique breed characterized by a white haircoat and a black ring outlining each eye. Sporting a German ancestry, it first reached the shores of the United States in 1981.

The Jersey Wooly was developed in – you guessed it – New Jersey, and is one of the newer breeds to be recognized n the United States. It has a thick, wooly coat that is often up to 3 inches (7.6 cm) long!

American Fuzzy Lops sport heavier haircoats than Jersey Woolies. Originating as a cross between Angora rabbits and Holland Lops, American Fuzzy Lops received their breed recognition in the United States in 1988.

Finally, the Mini Rex sets itself apart from the other dwarf breeds by its soft, lustrous, velvety hair coat. Its unique haircoat is the result of genetic influences that prevent the coat's primary guard hairs, which leaves the soft, downy undercoat exposed.
