The German Lop, also known as the Deutsches Widder, is a charming rabbit breed originating from Germany, developed from French Lop ancestors. It is medium-large in size, typically weighing between 4 to 5.5 kg, and is recognised for its heavy build and distinctive broad, thick ears that hang vertically, measuring around 12 to 14 inches. Its head has a strong "Roman nose" profile with a pronounced crown, and it has a deep, rounded 'mandolin' body shape covered with dense, glossy rollback fur in various colours. Temperament-wise, the German Lop is calm, docile and incredibly friendly, making it an excellent choice for families and pet enthusiasts. While common in Germany and Austria, this breed is relatively rare in the UK, though it is recognised by the British Rabbit Council. German Lops require ample space due to their size and regular ear hygiene checks.
