We are finally starting to gather a good herd of Netherland Dwarfs. Our goal is to be able to show at least one ND in each of the 5 color groups. We have 1 in group 3, 1 in group 4, and 1 in group 5 so far. I am sure we will get there slowly but surely. It just takes patience. We only show in the youth category.
Netherland Dwarfs are one of the smallest breeds of rabbits. They weigh 2-2.5lbs. They are a very friendly and playful breed, at least the ones we have had experiences with. We find this is more the case if they are handled and played with from birth.
Netherlands are shown in groups, the below shows which groups they are shown in.
ARBA Accepted Show Colors by group:
1. Self: REW, BEW, Black, Blue, Chocolate, Lilac
2. Shaded: Siamese Sable, Siamese Smoke Pearl, Sable Point, Black Tortoise Shell (Blue Tort not yet accepted in the SOP).
