As title says... what is the difference i really dont understand.

Someone said you can tell by the shape of their head. well my opal has a very round head, but Polo has a pointy head, so that distinction isnt great :lol: as they are sisters.
 
Dwarf lops are more average sized than their name suggests and mini's are much smaller [generally!] - have you weighed them? They might be crossed with something else, so who knows!
 
Im sure Jill wrote down on their adoption forms that they were Dwarf Lops.
They are a bit bigger than my dutch boys, so i would say heavier.

I think Polo is different, i dont think she is supposed to have a pointy face but she does. :love:
 
nope they can vary greatly ...they look like dwarf loppies to me..my kibbles had a flat face like shed run into a wall..but ive seen some with pretty pointy faces.....odd isnt it?

Then one is a better example of the breed as written in the breed standard.....:?:?:?
