Holland lops all have different personalities, but are generally friendly, curious, and fun. Their personality differs from rabbit to rabbit and the two genders are very similar. There are three different types of personalities. Some rabbits may not fit exactly and others may fit in more than one.
The first type of rabbit is a more hyper type. They rarely stand still and are always bouncing around. They like to play and are very active. If you show them, they are always trying to find a way out of the area. It takes time to get them to stand still and they are hard for the judges to judge. They are not the best pets but some people prefer them. They are also more likely to bite when they are not properly cared for.
The next type is the exact opposite of the one above. They don't move much and don't require large cages. They are very laid-back and don't 'complain' much. They are good for shows because they don't stress often and they don't try to run away. They don't breed well and therefore, aren't super common.
The last type is the most desirable and common Holland lop personality. This type is the curious and cuddly personality people think of when they see Hollands. They are a mix of the other two because they like to see you and love to be played with but they don't ever completely stand still or ever go crazy. They occasionally move at shows and only stay in a pose for a short time. This is the most common personality in Hollands. This is what most pet-buyers and breeders look for in a rabbit.

Your rabbit may be a mix of two personalities or it may have a completely different one. It all depends on a rabbit. You may think the last type never gets angry or the first one is never calm. If you mistreat a rabbit, no matter what its personality, it can bite or get stressed.

Hi. I'd like to keep one for pet. But I don't know which one should I choose. Its between Jersey Wooly and Holland Lop. At first, I want to choose Netherland Dwarft because of the size. But many said ND can't be mix with kids as ND tend to bite. So I pick JW as it has mini body, gentle and rarely bite or kick. But then, some people said HL also gentle, friendly eventho they cannot stand stikk for a sec. Can you suggest me which breed is better for pet. I want rabbit that personality are gentle, friendly, easygoing, safe for kids and easy litter train.
