Mini Lops didn't get their name from "mini" ears at all. At the time that the breed was being created, the Holland Lop was not yet a breed in the US. Bob Herschbach, the Mini Lops' created, called them Mini Lops because they were a "mini" version of the French Lop (which they still are). Ultimately, both the Mini Lop and Holland Lop were accepted as breeds at the same time by the American Rabbit Breeders Association in 1980.

What is the difference between a dwarf bunny and a mini lop?
Mini lop rabbits are small and have their ears down. Dwarf lop rabbits are bigger and there ears are a little more big Would just like to say the only real difference is size... The Mini-lop is smaller than the Dwarf-lop, the ideal weight for a Dwarf is around 4lb 8oz, where the maximum weight for a Mini is approximately 3lb 6oz. Hope this helps!
