A baby-faced breed with affection to go around

The small, fluffy Netherland Dwarf Rabbit looks like a kit no matter how old it gets, with large eyes and heads giving it a youthful look. The breed can be easily frightened and skittish but, with plenty of love and care, make gentle, affectionate pets.
