By selecting
for the best traits of each of these breeds, Devie created a breed of rabbit
that had the compact, appealing body and lopped ears of the Holland Lop and Mini
Lop, combined with the soft, short, hypoallergenic fur of the Mini Rex. Since
her aim was to create the perfect pet, personality was of great importance in
Devie's breeding program. Miniature Plush Lops today have playful, friendly
personalities, but they are also docile enough to allow their owners to hold
them for reasonably long periods of time. While they are adventurous and
outgoing, they are easy to catch, and quite affectionate.
