Origin of the Holland Lop

Origin of the Holland Lop

By Phil Batey

Ruskin Miniature Lops

**Note: in the UK the Holland Lop is a Miniature Lop**

Adrian was a very unassuming man and very few photographs were ever taken of him. Below is a very rare glimpse at the Man & Legend who is Adrain de Cock with on of his 'Madagascar Bucks' The Miniature Lop was the brain child of Adrain de Cock of Tilburg, Holland in the late 1940's. His vision was to produce a small, miniaturized version of the French Lop. This Giant of breeds was very popular all over Northern Europe with both exhibition keepers and meat producers alike.

Adrain de Cock with on of his 'Madagascar Bucks'

The Nederlandse Hangoor Dwerg as it is known in Holland - which translated means - Dutch Little Hanging Ear - was a work in progress for Adrian over many years. His first attempt to breed this 'new lop' was in 1949 when he took a French Lop buck and mated it to a Netherland Dwarf doe. The Netherland had been a very successful and popular 'miniaturization' for the Dutch some years earlier and was in some way the inspiration that Adrian took for his new, small lop breed.

The mating between the French Lop buck and Netherland doe was not as successful as Adrian had hoped. The babies were born abnormally large and died from being crushed at the time of birth. The doe later suffered fatality also. Disheartened with his new project, Adrian decided not to progress this any further. However, in 1951 Adrian was talking to another fancier about his vision for a Smaller Lop breed and was persuaded to try again, this time taking the other option of using a French Lop doe and a Netherland Dwarf buck. Adrian had thought of this option back in 1949 but had not imagined that the small Netherland male would be able to mate with such a large framed lady.

There are no records that show how this mating was carried out. Imagination can only be used as to how a little buck managed to mate such a big female. I think we must also at this time remember the old saying 'where there's a will there's a way'. The mating was a success and the resulting litter was born in July 1951. There were six babies in total, all agouti and all survived. Adrian had his first generation Hangoor Dwerg's. All the babies were retained and when the time came to start the next generation a Sooty Fawn English Lop was introduced.

The ear carriage on the F1's were all erect (contrary to Adrian's belief that they would be lopped) and another direction had to be set. As the French Lop was a step backwards, being of much larger size to the youngsters, the English Lop was the next option. Slightly smaller than the French but with much bigger ears - and never a problem with lopping - Adrian decided to mate one of the young does to a Sooty Fawn buck owned by a friend. The mating took place in February of 1952 and the resulting litter of F2's was born in the March.

The litter was not large, with only three youngsters born, but the visual change from the F1's was evident. As the litter got older, the ears started to fall and when the litter was 5 months old the ears were all lopped. Measurements of the ears were taken at this stage and measured 12cm from tip to tip. They were weighed at this time as well and the smallest youngster in the litter weighed 3.5kg (7lb 7oz) Adrian was exceptionally pleased with this litter as they were far better than he had hoped for at such an early stage in the development of his 'brain child'.

From this litter of F2's does were mated back to F1 bucks and F1 does to the F2 buck with resulting litters in all matings. His third generation (F3) were coming on well, and the ear carriage was improving - the ears now hanging closer to the head - and resembling more that of the French Lop used in the initial mating.

From the years 1953 to 1955, Adrian developed these lines further and produced generation after generation - getting smaller with each litter. By the end of 1955 Adrian had a variety of colors on the go (mainly Sooty Fawn) and the weight of these animals had reduced to under 3kgs, His job now was to get the Dutch Rabbit Club to acknowledge their existence by accepting them as a recognized breed. This was to prove more difficult than he had first imagined. It took a further 8 YEARS of breeding, distributing stock to other interested breeders and promotion of this breed until finally in 1964 they were accepted for standardization by the Dutch authorities.

The breeds popularity throughout Holland prospered and soon became a common sight on the show benches of other countries across Europe. In 1970 an application was made by the parent club in Holland to reduce the weight once again, this time to 1.5kg. This was duly accepted and is the maximum weight that breeders still work with today. This speaks volumes for the grit and determination of the Dutch Fanciers. For 33 years their standard maximum weight has remained the same and they have continued to produce the best specimens seen any where in the world. The breed may have traveled far and wide over the globe and so has the outline of the standard, but from country to country this has been changed slightly. Here in the UK the rabbits originally imported in 1970 were of the 1.5kg standard but as the rabbits got bigger, the type got better and we changed our standards to fit the rabbits, NOT breeding the rabbits to fit the standard.

Le salon Nail Scissors

Le salon Claw Scissors

for sharp and precise nail cutting & easy to use

Direction:

Inspect nails to locate the blood vessel (the "quick"). On light colored nail, the quick is found at the border (base)portion of the nail, it is pink and easy visible. On dark nails trim only the tips of the nails. Press thumb above the claw, holding skin & fur out of the way to prevent the claw from withdrawing into the sheath. Place nail in groove in scissors and cut in one smooth stroke. regular nail clipping will cause the blood vessel to retreat overtime, reducing risk of accidental bleeding. Always keep a cautery substance on hand while trimming to stop bleeding, if necessary.

Penyakit Arnab 1: Tabiat Makan Bulu & Hairball

Fur eating and hairballs
Sebilangan Rabbit direban mungkin akan memakan bulu badan, bulu kening & misai.Seekor rabbit akan mula memakan bulunya sendiri dibahagian tepi,belakang & dada. Ini desebabkan secara umumnya oleh 'deficiency of dietary fiber and gastricatony'. Diet yang tinggi dengan bijirin dan rendah kandungan alfalfa cenderung untuk kandungan rendah serat @ Fiber. Ini kerana sistem penghadaman seekor rabbit adalah untuk menampung sejumlah besar serat untuk penghadaman. kekurangan serat dalam diet harian akan membuatkan rabbit akan cuba mencari sumber fiber yang lain dan mula memakan bulu rabit itu sendiri.
Dengan menambahkan jumlah serat dalam diet harian rabbit akan selalunya menghilangkan masalah memakan bulu ini. Kesesakkan didalam satu sangkar atau kawasan juga akan menyebabkan kehilangan bulu rabbit, terutama sekali disebabkan pergaduhan sesama rabbit.
Rabbits juga akan termakan sejumlah kecil bulunya melalui jilatan @ membersihkan diri sendiri. Bulu ini akan bergumpal didalam perut rabbit lalu membentuk 'hairballs'@ 'Wool Black'. Ini selalunya tidak akan menunjukkkan apa apa kehadiran penyakit, tetapi ianya akan menjadi halangan didalam perutnya. Apabila terdapat halangan pada saluran perut, rabbit akan mula untuk berhenti makan, berat badan susut, dan berkemungkianan mati. Jika masalah hairbaill ini hadir, antara yg boleh dilakukan adalah dengan memberikan sedikit buah nenas dalam diet rabbit yang sakit @ pemberian 10ml jus nenas. Enzim didalam juice ini akan membantu untuk meleraikan hairball dan membantu untuk melepasi sistem penhadaman rabbit. Pembedahan mungkin diperlukan bagi sesetengah kes.

Kesimpulan yang dapat dibuat disini adalah, rabbit memerlukan kandungan fiber @ serat yang tinggi dalam diet harian mereka. Dengan adanya diet yang sempurna akan menjamin kesihatan rabbit- rabbit anda...

Cloudy Eye in Rabbits

Cloudy Eye in Rabbits

Cataracts
A cataract is an opaque film on the lens of the eye, and may mean the lens is entirely or only partially clouded. In most instances, cataracts are present at the rabbit's birth.

Symptoms and Types
* Lens is partially or fully opaque
* Eye discharge (hyper-mature cataract)
* Swelling of the iris
* White nodule-like bumps on the iris

Cataract types:
* Immature – lens partially covered


from petMD.com
* Mature – entire lens covered
* Hypermature – lens liquefaction has occurred


Causes
Cataracts are most commonly present at birth. However, it may develop spontaneously and with no known cause.

It occurs for many reasons, but is usually related to a bacterial infection (encephalitozoon cuniculi). Other causes include a nutritional deficiency or elevated levels of glucose in the blood. Cataracts may also develop spontaneously with no known cause.

Diagnosis
Cataracts are generally evident by the opaque (cloudy) appearance of the lens. The veterinarian may run tests if bacterial infection is suspected. Other analyses include a urine analysis to test for infectious disease and blood tests.

In cases where the rabbit has a white mass protruding from the eye, a sign which may indicate cataracts, alternate diagnoses may conclude an abscess in the eye or an unnatural growth of cells (neoplasia), such as a tumor in the eye.

Treatment
Surgery to remove cataracts is the primary treatment method, and can be performed on both congenital and spontaneous cataracts. The sooner the surgery is done, the better the prognosis. Various medications may also be prescribed, especially in cases of bacterial infection.


Living and Management
Following the treatment, the rabbit should be carefully monitored for signs of cataract recurrence. Owners should be aware of possible complications such as glaucoma and retinal detachment. If surgery is successful, prognosis is good.

In some cases however, surgical treatment is not an option in which case prognosis for the health of the affected eye is guarded – most of these cases will progress until the rabbit contracts glaucoma in the damaged eye.

Prevention
There are no specific methods of prevention when it comes to cataracts because most cases are congenital -- and thus unstoppable -- or spontaneous with no known cause.
