Description of The English Lop rabbit:

The English Lop is certainly a one of a kind rabbit.  They are a very tolerable and affectionate breed of rabbit with certain uniqueness to them.  No other breed of rabbit can claim to “be all ears”!  The ears of the English Lop must measure 21" from tip to tip to be shown, even in the junior class.  Completed growth of the ears is finished around 4 months of age.

The world record for longest ears is currently held by California breeders Waymon and Margaret Nipper at 31.125".  However, that uniqueness of these ears is not the “whole package”.  The ears, no matter what length, must be in balance with the size of their mandolin shaped body.  A good mandolin shape starts with a shoulder length of about two fingers connecting to a rise that starts climbing up to a high point above the hips and rounding out over their rump with fullness down to the table.  The best way to measure if the ears are in balance to the body is to pose the rabbit properly, gather the ears and extend them back over the top line of their body.  The tip of the ears should meet around that high point above the hips.  Too far past or short of this point means the ears are not in balance with the body.  And not only must the ears be in balance with the body, but in balance with themselves!  The ideal width is to be one-quarter of the length.

Many people are turned away from owning or raising an English Lop for concern of mishaps with the ears.  Indeed because of the large, dragging ears they can be prone to scratches or tears mainly from their own feet!  Keeping the nails trimmed can prevent such scrapes.  Also, due to their deeper ear canal, excess wax build up can pose a problem and must be checked and cleaned out more frequent than other breeds.  Prevention is always the key factor in any situation. 

These minor tribulations can most certainly be overlooked by one who truly loves the breed to become a breeder of English Lops.  And even to the pet owner that finds them so irresistible that it is a must to have at least one!

I have raised a variety of different breeds over the many years that I've had rabbits. By far, my favorite is the English Lop. English Lop rabbits are very loving, calm and docile animal. They have great personalities and always attract and demand lots of attention!

English Lops are known to be one of the oldest breeds of domestic rabbit, dating back to the 16th century. As with all lops, they come in broken (spotted) and solid (no spots) coat patterns. Also, another common lop trait is the many different colors they can come in. A full grown English Lop should be around 10-12 pounds, with at least 21" ears (measured from tip to tip with a yard stick). Often ears reach lengths of 25" and more. English Lops are a rather rare breed of rabbit.

I started raising and showing them from a very young age in 4-H. Over the years I have seen many rabbits. None have touched me quite like the English Lop. I plan and hope to raise and breed them for as long as I am able. Check out my website for pictures, and more info on the English Lop!
