Holland lops come in many colors, but when showing, they are divided into 2 varieties: broken and solid. So technically, there are 2 varieties, but there are several colors inside each variety (these are broken up into groups). The national Holland Lop club has some good articles: http://www.hlrsc.com/ If you do a search for Holland Lop colors, you'll find several photos that maybe helpful. From my experience showing the smaller breeds, the #1 mistake most youth exhibitors make is they overfeed their rabbits. If you do this, your rabbit will get Disqualified when you show him for being too fat. The ideal weight for a holland is 3 lbs, with a maximum of 4lbs. So stick to a strict feeding practice, and keep your rabbit within the ideal weight. That would really stink to work all year on your 4H project and then have your rabbit DQ'd at his first show.
