What is the American Fuzzy Lop?
American Fuzzy Lop, referred to as "fuzzy" in short, is a breed of a rabbit that came from the breeding of Dutch blades with French rabbits Angora to produce a rabbit similar to the original Dutch lop, but with a longer woolen coat instead of a shorter fur coat of Holland. In 1988, the American Association of Rabbit Breeders (Arba) declared the US fuzzy LOP official breed separated from Holland Lop, although rabbits have many common features. The breed is often brought up to compete in the Arba competition and also thanks to its relaxed nature and helpfulness makes an excellent pet.
originally Holland Lop rabbits had solid coats. Breeders wanted Holland Lops with mixed colors in their fur, so they decided to breed Holland Lops and English point rabbits. Breeders have achieved the mixed colors they wanted, but the type of fur changed from returning to Flyback. Rollback fur is gently rolling back to a place when pettizdis that the rabbit back while the flyback fur seems to have "returned" quickly.
In order to try to create a fur return in Holland Lops, breeders crossed rabbits with French rabbits Angora. This was achieved by the results of the breeders who were looking for, but led to a surprise. Some rabbits were born with longer fuzzy woolen coats that were not found in Holland Lops. Breeder named Patty-Greene Karl discovered the recessive nature of genes for long woolen cloaks and began to behave what would eventually become known as American fuzzy lop.
