My parents, Mike and Debbie Hoy also own a Rabbitry called Shady Acre Rabbitry where they raise English Lops and Holland Lops. Click Here to Visit Their Site!
My foundation stock came from Susan Hooper and Getitia Mathney. I also have some Sellar bunnies too.

My rabbits eat a high quality ration of Show Rite rabbit feed and get a tsp. of Show Bloom on top daily. I find that the combination helps to keep them looking their very best.
All rabbits that are from MY line are guaranteed to have a good tempermant and will be showable. Pet Quality animals MAY NOT be showable. All of MY animals will have pedigrees UNLESS bought as a pet. If you are purchasing a rabbit as a pet and wish to recieve a pedigree you will have to pay normal show prices NOT the pet price. Any rabbit that is NOT the product of my breedings does NOT come with ANY type of a guarantee. If you are unhappy with a rabbit that you have bought from me and do not wish to keep it, I may offer a replacement. I will NOT give refunds except on my stud animals. If you buy an animal as a brood Buck/Doe, I guarantee that you will get at least one live litter from him/her. If not then you may return the rabbit to me and I will replace it with another Brood Buck/Doe of equal quality. Agian this guarantee will only apply to a rabbit that is the product of my breedings.
I Specialize in the Agouti and AOV Varieties but I occasionaly will get a Shaded or Tan Variety animal in the nest box. I also try to breed for some of the Rare colors as well.
I have the following colors currently:
Self- REW
Shaded- Sable Point
Agouti- Chestnut, Chinchilla, Squirrel
Tan-Black Otter, Chocolate Otter, Black Silver Marten, Chocolate Silver Marten
AOV-Himalayan, Orange, Steel (Chinchilla and Chestnut), Tort, and Fox (Tort Marten)
The history of the Netherland Dwarfs is rather interesting. Dwarfs came to be when a Polish rabbit accidentaly crossed with a small wild rabbit in the Netherlands. The Dwarfs were popular long before British fanciers brought them to England in about 1948. The Breed was accepted by the ARBA in 1969. From then on out the Breed has been extremely popular.
For those of you who don't know what you should look for in a Netherland Dwarf the below is a description taken from the ARBA Guidebook
Netherland Dwarfs should be a short, compact animal with shoulders equal in width to the midsection and hindquarters. The animal should round over the body with well filled hindquarters. The head should be round in all directions, set on as short a neck as possible. The Dwarfs ears should be well-furred, short, erect and of good substance(thick). The eye of the Dwarf rabbit should be bold, bright and round. Fur should be of roll back nature (slowly rolling back into place). A senior buck or Doe should weigh no more than 2 and a half pounds. I like to keep mine at 2 pounds. If you have a Junior animal that weighs 2 pounds or more then it MUST be shown as a Senior regardless of age.
I almost always have a rabbit or two for sale because I am VERY picky about what I keep for myself. Many people ask about my prices. They vary depending on Color, Type, Sex and General Quality of the animal.
Below is a list of my Min. prices for each color group.
Prices are following this order: Jr Buck, Jr Doe, Sr Buck, Sr Doe, Pet(no pedigree), & 4H
Self--30-35-40-45-10-20
Agouti--30-35-40-45-10-20
AOV--40-45-50-55-15-30
Tan--30-35-40-45-10-20
Shaded--40-45-50-55-15-30
Rare--50-55-60-65-20-40
I do occasionaly go down on some prices depending on the reason for the purchase of the rabbit(s). I do NOT ship my rabbits because it causes too much stress on the animals.
I also put my bucks up for stud. My stud fee is $10.00. If your doe doesn't take to the first breeding then I will re-breed your doe to the same buck for free until she has a live litter. If your doe still hasn't had a litter by the third breeding then I will offer you a refund or you may choose a different buck. I MUST inspect and approve of ALL breedings. I will not breed to a crossbred rabbit or a sick rabbit under any circumstances.
