    Breeding recommendations
    • Generally very sociable and docile; more relaxed than the Netherland Dwarf.
    • Thrives on human interaction; well-suited for social housing in pairs.
    • Miniature size (1.0–1.6 kg); standard dwarf-breed housing with high sanitation.
    • Average litter only 3 kits.
    • Show and pet; calm enough for children.
