No, it's the opposite. Mini Lops are bigger. About 6 lbs.

See above. LOL!
There's also the American Fuzzy Lop, which is about 3 1/2 - 4 lbs. The English Lop is 9-10 lbs, French Lop is 10 1/2 - 11 lbs and up.
Wow! Wren Potter, only one thing you said was right! Know your stuff before you speak...
"It varies on the breeder...and sometimes breeders don't differentiate lops from each other if they are pets and not show rabbits. American Fuzzy Lops are under 4lbs., Mini Lops are around 3lbs., Dwarf Lops around 5lbs., Hollands not over 7lbs.. However you have to consider: does verse bucks. That best thing is to judge by the parents if possible."
Yes, breeders differentiate between lop breeds! Even as pets! Am. Fuzzy Lops are under 4lbs, that's the only thing you said that's correct. Mini Lops are NOT under 3lbs, there is NO lop breed that small. Mini's are the 3rd from the bottom as far as size goes. They're about 6lbs.
"Dwarf Lops are 5lbs" there's no such thing as a "dwarf lop".
"Hollands are not over 7" Goodness! I should hope not! That's physically impossible! Even if they're a BUD/BUB! HL's are only 4lbs.
The only difference between bucks and does is typically only about 1/2 of a pound. Or 3/4 to 1 full pound in the large breeds like the English Lops or the Flemish Giants. And you can't always go by the parents, either. The babies can inherit a double dwarfing gene and become a peanut, which is too small to survive and they usually die 1-3 days after being born. Or they may not inherit a dwarfing gene at all and you can have a 5lb rabbit when it's only supposed to be 4lbs.
Hollands are the smallest of the lop eared breeds. They average 4 pounds. Mini lops are slightly larger, with an average adult weight of about 8 pounds.

Hollands are the smallest of the lop breed... If I remember correctly... 5#... and mini's are like 7# to 8#... carefully what you purchase... some breeders will cross and sometimes Hollands will through the back larger babies... We used to raise Hollands.. they have the sweetest dispassion... should have a very massive head (like a bulldog)...
I raise and show Holland Lops and they are the smallest of the lop breeds. In the US they are about 4 pounds fully grown. With some reaching 5 pounds occasionally. Mini Lops are the next size up in weight with an avg of 6-7 lbs. Both have good dispositions and make great pets. And are similar in shape. But hollands are more compact with a fuller head and of course are the smaller of the 2.
