Holland Lops Foundation Herd Does
Our HL Does that started us off!
From our first Pair Bradley x Chattanooga
Our Foundation Pair: Bradley & Chattanooga
Our Holland Lop journey began with two foundational brood rabbits: Fraine Farm’s Bradley Copper, an orange buck, and Silver Thrown’s Chattanooga, a broken chinchilla doe. Although both now live in wonderful new homes, they were the first pair we started with in our Holland program.
From the beginning, we chose to focus on agouti varieties in our Hollands to complement our Netherland Dwarf lines and to work toward rare varieties that align with the Standard of Perfection (SOP). We love a challenge and were excited to take on the task of improving type and temperament within these colors.
Our goal has always been to strengthen our lines by producing consistent quality and calm, friendly temperaments. We feel truly blessed to have started with Bradley and Chattanooga. While they weren’t top show rabbits themselves and were used solely as brood, they were solid in structure and paired exceptionally well. Together, they produced strong lines that continue to shine through the generations.
One of the standout does from their pairing is Ms. RFB's Queen Olivia, who was a cornerstone of our herd. She consistently produced offspring with outstanding temperament and quality—and she was, without question, the best mother in our rabbitry.
Her sister, Sage, who now lives with another breeder, also produced beautifully for us. We’re proud to have several of her daughters, granddaughters, and grandsons still in our herd—each continuing to contribute positively to our program.
The third doe from that same first litter was Piper, who brought in much-needed bone, width, and balance to our lines. Though she has since moved to another breeder, her influence is still strong. Her offspring consistently carry her structural strengths, and we see her stamp carried forward with each generation.
