The Netherland Dwarf is one of the smallest domestic rabbit breeds in the world. With its unique nature and look, it is one of the most popular breed of rabbits for show and exhibition. There are four different standards in the world from which it is judged; this site is dedicated to the American Standard.

The American Netherland Dwarf Rabbit standard was adopted in 1969 at an ARBA (American Rabbit Breeders Association) Convention in Calgary , Canada . There the first of 6 Dwarfs were shown and judged in Open competition. The following year the ANDRC was born. Today we have over 1200+ dwarfs shown in Open and Youth at ARBA Conventions which are in their 84th year. In the Spring of 1971 we started our first annual National American Netherland Dwarf Rabbit Show with Dwarfs being shown in Youth and Open categories.

There are 37 different coat colors or varieties that are broken down into 5 different groups giving a breeder a wide opportunity to try his or her breeding skills to come up with the right rabbit to win BEST of BREED.

Membership privileges include: a quarterly publication, The Dwarf Digest, which has articles, advertisements and input from breeders; a new updated guide book with color pictures of all the varieties (a must for all breeders); opportunities for the youth to apply for scholarships and compete in Royalty Contests; and a website with current information and pictures of winning Dwarfs from across the USA.
