The Dwarf Lop-eared rabbit is a rabbit breed, a dwarf variety of domestic rabbit resulting from the crossing of French and English lop-eared rabbits for type and dwarf rabbits of various colors for size, both being forms selected by rabbit breeders of the species Oryctolagus cuniculus. Its characteristic feature is having long drooping ears and a significantly reduced size compared to normal lop-eared rabbits. Generally easy to tame and train, it is a popular pet.
