Ten years ago my parents let me get my first rabbit. My brother and I picked a little black Dutch rabbit and we named her Duchess. She lived eight long, happy years. Duchess left such an impact on our family we haven't had the heart to replace her with another bunny and our dog lies under her abandoned hutch in our backyard and sniffs the bottom of the cage looking for his buddy. If I were to get another rabbit in the future, I'd definitely consider getting another Dutch. They're jewels!

I have had a black and white Dutch rabbit for a year and a half now. His name is Peter and he is 2 years old. He is my first rabbit and i wouldn't chose any other breed to be my first! He has really funny characteristics, he hisses, thumps his feet, growls and when he's happy he purrs and licks me. I love him so much!

I just got my 2 Dutch Rabbits, and they are so nice and loveable. If you want to get a rabbit my best guess is you get a dutch, or get a flopp eared rabbit because they are also nice.

I have a dutch rabbit that is 2 months old. I got him when he was 4 weeks old and named him Buster. He is the sweetest thing and so goofy!! He loves attention and loves to give kisses. If I am sitting on the couch he jumps up and walks to me and sniffs me and kisses me. And he loves to eat everything!! I fell in love with him instantly though. I had another rabbit that passed away 2 years ago. He was a Holland Lop/Mini Lop mix. I had him for 10 years so it was hard for me to be able to get another one. But Buster cured that for me. He is so much fun, and absolutely adorable. Anyone looking to get a rabbit, I would highly recommend a Dutch. They are sweet, social and tons of fun!

Hi. i have a dutch rabbit and she is the best pet i ever had. when i first received her, she was so small she fit in the center of my palm. we live in a house and she would go outside and dig. she was potty trained and we taught her a lot of tricks. she use to growl and stomp her feet when we came home late. three years after we got her we had to put her to sleep.

When I was about 12 yrs old I owned a Northeastern cottentail (a wild rabbit) and it was a lot friendlier than the Dutch I own today. I purchased the rabbit from a local shelter already spayed & at about a year old. I've spent multitudes of hours with the bunny, but it still lunges, grunts, and scratches even if I just sit down next to her and don't touch her! She has my entire apartment to roam around freely (which is huge)and lots of toys just for her, but she would rather chew electrical cords, my couch, wood furniture and holes in my wall to wall carpeting!

I have one black dutch rabbit, with beautiful, and flawless markings. I don't know how old she is because we adopted her as a free rabbit when she was a one year old. When we got her she had mites, so we had to take care of that which cost us about $100 per shot. When we put our hands in her cage she would growl and pounce on our hands and start biting them, so to make her nicer we had her spayed which cost about $125. our free rabbit turned into about a $300 rabbit. But she is a genius for a rabbit she knows how to count. This is what I do, I hold up two playing cards and point to them and tell her what they are and ask her which one is bigger or the greatest. then I hold them out to her face up and she picks the one out of the two cards with her teeth, and it's the highest number.

I have a rabbit calle Dandy, and he is the most intelligent creature of the sort, though he tends to bite now and again. I would recommend a dutch to anyone who has a lot of spare time and will not lock them in a hutch all day. Dandy is free to roam the garden all day - that's why he is so bright.
