The first dwarf rabbits behaved more like these wild rabbits than domestic animals and were not good pets . However, through generations of selective breeding, the modern Netherland Dwarf has become a gentle, friendly pet rabbit, though it still can retain a more energetic disposition than larger breeds . </P> <P> The Netherland Dwarf's head and eyes are disproportionately large with respect to its short - coupled and stout ("cobby") body .
