We are a small rabbitry located in Griswold, CT. We breed, raise, show & sell Holland lop bunnies! We take great care of our rabbits and we are constantly striving to improve the Holland Lop breeds' Standard of Perfection. Our bunnies are our pets first and from birth on............they are handled often which makes them the best pets possible as they grow. We have raised bunnies our entire lives but began our Holland breeding adventure in January of 2007.

In May and June of 2008 we began to see our hard work and dedication to the holland lop breed pay off when we won our first awards. Thanks to all of our friends, family members and fellow breeders for always supporting us. We cannot thank you enough!

We are also members of ARBA (American Rabbit Breeders Association) & HLRSC (Holland Lop Rabbit Specialty Club).

We update this page quite frequently.....and when we post updates....we post the date and the changes that were made. We also try to update pics of the buns often to show how they are maturing. We enjoy taking random pics of our herd.....as they are so full of personality.

Enjoy looking around!

The Jason's Hollands Herd

 

THE BUCKS

 

Grand Champion Windswept's Heion (3 legs- 2- BOB, 1- 1st place)

Black tort- DOB 4/14/05

Sire- Windswept's Ducati (Sable point)
Dam- D & A's Sheri (Blue)

Heion started it all off for me in Hollands and I simply cannot say enough about him. Heion has turned out to be an amazing herd buck helping to produce some of my herd's finest offspring and he has babies all over the country helping to move other holland herds forward as well. Heion is a teddy bear and is always there at his cage door to greet me everyday. He is always willing to pose for pictures and for judges and he loves to be held. I place him on the floor and he follows me everywhere. Heion is the type of herd buck that will have a forever home here because not only has he contributed so much to Jason's Hollands...........but most of all Heion has added personality to our breeding program as well. I love this buck!

5/10/2008

North Haven, CT

Windswept's Heion- BOV & BOB out of 40+ Hollands

Best of Breed

 

 

Grand Champion Jason's Hollands Lakota II (5 legs- 1- BOV, 2- BOSG, Best Broken Holland in VT, 5- 1st places)

Broken Blue tort- DOB 11/1/07

Sire- Windswept's Heion (Black tort)
Dam- THF Saynora's Sienna (Broken black tort)

 

Lakota II is all grown up now and hard to believe he was the first baby born into this rabbitry.....and he has definitely come into his own as he has matured! His head is fuller and his hind qtr his fuller...it is true what they say that some bucks are worth waiting out........just love this Heion/Sienna combination.....guess I will be waiting out his offspring for a while as well! Lakota II does well on the show tables no matter where I bring him and he has become a favorite amongst youth breeders and children because of his playful antics. Love this buck!

 

 

 

 

L&R Leo flew all day 2/12/2010 from Portland, OR to SLC, UT to Boston, MA. We needed a nice buck to go with all these L&R does we have now so Linda F and I are co owners of Leo. :o)

 

L & R Leo

Broken black tort- DOB 7/9/09

Sire- L & R Brinkley (Broken black tort)
Dam- L & R Fern (Black tort)

Leo is a very typey buck. He has a beautiful head, ear, crown....very close to perfect I think. His ears lay right against his head and his crown is a true horseshoe crown. Leo's overall balance is amazing which includes a short, deep body and a full, deep & massive hindquarter. Add to that his very curious, social and outgoing personality and you have the entire holland package. Leo has improved the type and look of my hollands since joining the herd. He is a teddy bear and begs for attention all the time. He has many off spring who have also taken their places as part of my herd as well. Thank you Linda and Ron Jinings for such a nice buck.

 

 

 

Jason's Hollands Mattox

Broken tort buck - DOB 8/16/2010

Sire- L & R Leo (Broken black tort)
Dam- Jason's Hollands Kassie (Blue tort)

Mattox is a mini Leo in so many ways from his type, to his personality, to his laid back nature. I like everything about Mattox. The Kassie/ Leo combination is one my favorites. Mattox got tired of me taking pics of him in this photo shoot, so he sprolled out on the grooming table and said that is it. :o)

Woodland Acres Kobe

Black tort buck- DOB 1/28/09

Sire- L & R ST. Diesel (Black tort)
Dam- Heath's Joy (Broken blue tort)

Kobe's pedigree is almost entirely L&R and was originally bred & raised by my good friends Jill & Emma at Woodland Acres Rabbitry. He has already sired some awesome litters for me. I could not let the opportunity pass me by to own another L&R St. D off spring. Kobe is a nice little 3 pound package......who compliments the girls in my herd quite nicely. Most of my does go back to Kobe in some way and the Olivia/ Kobe combination is another one of my favorite breedings.

 

 

 

Jason's Hollands Topher

Black tort buck - DOB 12/15/2010

Sire- WA Kobe (Black tort)
Dam- JH Malina (Black tort)

 

 

 

Proud Ear's Disco

Black tort buck - DOB 5/10/2010

Sire- PE's Reggaetone (Sable point)
Dam- ANR's Ziz (Broken black tort)

Locket's Carter

Black tort buck - DOB 8/3/2010

Sire- Locket's Woodstock (Broken black tort)
Dam- GC ANR's Brianna (Black tort)

Pics courtesy of Laura F

Locket's Woodstock who is Carter's sire is out of Willow Walker's Diego who was out of LOV's Hildago with 9 legs. Dam was Glendale's Lexus out of Glendale's Wyatt with 12 legs and THF Saynora's Betta. Lexus goes back to Shaggy and Laz and is solid THF Saynora with a few LOV's. Diego was out of more LOV's. ANR Brianna goes back to PE's Banana Spilt. Carter is a very busy boy which makes it difficult to get him to sit still for pics...but I did my best below. I literally had to prop him up on my orchid repotting station in our basement to get him to pose for a second or two...so not the best background but it works :o)

 

 

Hillbunny's Jake

Black- DOB 5/17/07

Sire- Lop n Mop's Puncek (Black tort)
Dam- Hillbunny's 3 Wishes II (Seal)

Jake has become our rabbitry mascot. He is a teddy bear in every sense of the word. He begs to be held everytime someone walks near his cage. He is in a larger cage now....a bunny condo I call it which is set up in our home office, down near the floor and whenever we open his cage door.....out he jumps and runs circles around our feet. He keeps us company running around the rabbitry while we are cleaning most days and makes us laugh all the time with his comical antics. We cannot say enough about Jake. He is a very special member of our herd.

 

(Look at Jake's beautiful face and those poofy little cheeks.........ha!)

Jason's Hollands Reflection

(because she is a reflection of her dad Leo)

Broken black tort doe - DOB 4/21/2010

Sire- L & R Leo (Broken black tort)
Dam- L & R Selena (Black tort)

 

Reflection is my body and bone doe. She took a while to mature but boy was she worth the wait.

Jason's Hollands Malina

Black tort doe - DOB 4/21/2010

Sire- L & R Leo (Broken black tort)
Dam- L & R Selena (Black tort)

I am really liking Malina's look as she matures. She is my mini Selena which I have been patiently waiting for.

 

 

 

 

Jason's Hollands Kassie

Blue tort doe - DOB 11/20/09

Sire- WA's Kobe (Black tort)
Dam- L & R Olivia (Broken black tort)

Kassie is one of my best producing does...2nd only to her mom, Olivia. They both share this very moody disposition and want you on their terms only. :o) Type wise though you cannot ask for a more gorgeous doe. She has produced both Mattox and Tacoma.

 

 

 

L & R Olivia

Broken black tort- DOB 3/8/09

Sire- L & R Livingston (Black tort)
Dam- L & R Sedalia (Broken black tort)

I have to say that Olivia is probably my best producing doe. She is reliable, a great mom and a great foster mom. Most of my best does go back to Olivia in some fashion. Olivia has off spring living in many states moving other herd's forward as well. She also carries a "tude" along with her which I suppose she has earned by now. :o) She lets me know by her grunting how she is feeling each day...lol

 

 

 

L & R Selena

Black tort- DOB 12/16/08

Sire- L & R Sedgewick (Broken black tort)
Dam- L & R Felina (Black tort)

Selena is another wonderful L&R doe who throws mass and bone in her off spring. She is mellow and forgiving and as long as she is bred or being a mom she is happy. She has produced Malina, Reflection and Layna thus far. I love her holland stance and her head.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Memory of.....................

THF Saynora's Sienna

Broken Black tort- DOB 9/24/06

Sire- THF Saynora's Scirroco (Broken tort)- Shaggy & Zelma
Dam- THF Saynora's Roseanne (Black tort)- Zack & Roszella

Sienna was my first holland doe. Sienna and Heion produced my first holland litter which produced JH Lakota II...who became my very first holland to be granded. Sienna is a teddy bear doe in that she is very mellow, friendly and forgiving. She is an excellent mom and over the years has fostered many kits from other does. There are many Sienna off spring in pet homes and with fellow breeders because of her type, her personality and her beauty. Thank you to Tracy and Jenna for raising such a wonderul holland doe. :o)

 

Rest in Peace Liam the lover

Grand Champion Trio's Liam (10 legs- 1- RIS, 6- BOB, 1- BOSB, 1- BOSV, 1- BOV and a class win.)

Blue buck- DOB 1/30/06

Sire- Rabbit Hill's Surfer Boy (Blue)
Dam- ELS's Saffron (Blue)

Liam is a full to the table buck with incredible mass. He is well balanced.......with a thick flat open ear, bold eye, beautiful curvature, deep chest, nice topline and a friendly personality. He goes back to GC Tommie's Rootbeer on his dam's side and he's almost entirely Pitney on his sire's side.

12/22/10- Liam quietly slipped away from us today.....approx 1 week after battling some sort of illness that we could not seem to treat quick enough. We called him Liam the lover because he loved anything with a beating heart....be it dog, bird, rabbit, human being etc....and he had the best disposition. Liam taught me the standard of perfection because when he posed at a rabbit show, he was the standard of perfection in my opinion and you certainly took notice of him.....Liam helped me to gain confidence in showing hollands and he also helped me to meet fellow holland breeders because people often stopped by at a show to compliment Liam or emailed to ask questions about him and his babies. Liam was awesome and he will certainly be missed. Thank you Liam for years of beautiful holland memories which I will cherish forever! Thank you Jessica for sharing such an outstanding holland with me.

 

The day I purchased Liam from Jessica back on 3/1/09 he won back to back BOB's at the Taunton, MA rabbit show...but the most fun came when Jill and I traveled to VT together.....read on below

Jill Morton and I spent the Memorial Day weekend 2009 in Rutland, VT at the "Lop a looza" all day rabbit show which took place on May 24th where lop eared rabbit breeds were judged 3 times by 3 different judges. The event was held at the Vermont State Fairgrounds and we had an absolute blast.....the scenery on our drive from RI to VT was breath taking....the fields of green, the mountains, the farms.....simply gorgeous!

Just when I think it could not get any better............we quickly found out that it most certainly could get better.....

Trio's Liam won BOB under Roger Cota (NY) out of 50 hollands, BOSB under Brian Sawchuk (NY) out of 49 hollands and BOB under Josh Humphries (TN) out of 65 hollands AND then went on to win 1st Reserve in Show under Josh Humphries......

(it was a proud moment for me but one that I wish I could have shared with Jessica Yingling from Trio Rabbitry....as she raised this absolutely gorgeous holland lop rabbit....Jessica...when you read this.....THANK YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN....:)

Rest in Peace my sweet Marlene

Woodland Acres Marlene

Sable point doe- DOB 4/10/08

Sire- A & M's Rocky Point (Sable point)
Dam- Woodland Acres Louise (Pointed white)

I just love this doe. She has everything to offer a breeding program....but most of all she has become part of our family.....I have never seen a holland lop play with toys the way Marlene plays with her toys. Thank you so much Jill and Emma....she truly is a gift that just keeps on giving :o)

9/8/10- Marlene quietly slipped away from us today.....hours after giving birth to 2 kits. I have no idea what happened or what took her, but I do know that I was blessed with 2+ years with her and I will never forgot her curious, playful nudges nor will I forget how hard she played with her toys. Marlene will always have a very special place in my heart and I am comforted knowing that I still have Marissa to carry on her mom's legacy. I also have these 2 special little kits who Marlene left behind being raised by Marissa. There is something beautifully ironic about that I think. Thank you Marlene for years of beautiful holland memories which I will cherish forever!
