Notes on similar breeds - all of these are lops, but have short fur:

Holland Lops (called "Miniature Lops" in the UK) are about the same size as Fuzzy Lops, but with short fur
Mini Lops (called "Dwarf Lops" in the UK) are larger - 4.5-6.5 pounds
English Lops are larger still - at least 9.5 pounds - with extremely long ears.
French Lops are the largest - over 11 pounds
