This breed originates from France and was created during the middle of the nineteenth century. It was introduced into the UK primarily as a meat rabbit but in 1965, the French Lop was exhibited for the first time to this day, they remain a very popular exhibition and pet rabbit.
The French Lop is a very large rabbit, weighing more than 10lb (4.5kg) with lop ears and an almost cubic appearance with a short thickset body and large head. The front legs are short and straight and the hind legs are carried parallel to the body.
As a large rabbit, the French Lop can be quite placid but is as likely to develop actual behaviour problems as other breeds. Their size dictates confident handling and they will require a large hutch/run to move around freely. They are not the rabbit for small children or people that have limited space, although they can live in the house as a house pet.
Black, White, Brown, Blue, Agouti, Chinchilla, Opal. Sooty Fawn, Siamese Sable, Orange, Fawn, Steel and Butterfly (white on underbelly, chest, feet and nose, leaving one of the above colours on the back, ears and a distinctive butterfly marking on the head).

My rabbit is the most fantastic rabbit I have ever known. Even though we got her aged 4, she adapted very well to new surroundings and we fortunately have the ability to let her roam freely in our enclosed back yard all dat long. She is very friendly, and on the rare occasion she cant be bothered with someone, will just hop away. She is however very territorial, having chased away many cats and birds and even headbutting my Mothers dog (they got on after that, I even found her on his bed after coming in through the open back door one day. I got in to find the dog in bed with my bunny cuddled up to him). I would like to know if anyone else has found them to be territorial or is it just a personality thing?
My French lop has the best temperament that I have ever seen in a rabbit. He is very docile and friendly towards people and children. He makes a very good house bunny as he is very clean and well trained. He now lives in and outside as we felt that he should be out whilst we are at work chewing grass.
