Cozy Holland Lops for Sale in Alaska
Rare Blue-Eyed Whites and blue-eyed Vienna-marked Holland Lops for sale in Alaska, from the Southeast panhandle up to the Interior.
A round little lop with velvet ears and eyes of clear, cold-water blue. That is what we raise.
Rhythm & Bleu is an ARBA registered rabbitry in Northeast Oklahoma near Tulsa. We raise rare Blue-Eyed Whites alongside blue-eyed Vienna-marked kits in colorful coats, blue, chocolate, harlequin, now and then finished with a white blaze. A full pedigree travels with every kit.
Our kits are handled every day from birth, growing up through the comings and goings of a busy household, so they leave here as sociable and sweet as a bunny can be. You can meet us in person for free, or we fly your kit home through Alaska Air Cargo into Anchorage or Fairbanks, arranged and quoted per trip.
Why the eyes
Holland Lops for Sale in Alaska, and What Makes Ours Different
Those blue eyes are the hard part to come by.
Blue arrives by way of the Vienna gene, which is recessive, so both parents have to carry it before a single kit can show it. Even then only a share of any litter arrives with it, and reaching that point takes years of careful pairings.
Our Holland Lops for sale in Alaska come pedigreed, raised in the middle of everything this household does, and made much of every single day. We breed for temperament first, then type, then color.

Getting home
Two ways home to Alaska
Two ways to bring one of our Holland Lops for sale in Alaska home, and the first one costs nothing but the airfare you were already paying.
Meet in person
always open
Pickup at our home costs nothing but the trip itself. It is a real expedition from Alaska, but if you are flying south anyway, you are welcome to collect your kit in person and carry her home in the cabin.
You meet your bunny, ask everything face to face, and she rides back in your lap.
Door-to-door flight
arranged per trip
Alaska is a specialty flight, so we price it per trip rather than pretend one number fits every route. We ship through Alaska Air Cargo’s live-animal service, routing your kit through Seattle and on to Anchorage or Fairbanks, with a smaller bush carrier added for a village off the road system.
Because the cost turns on crate size, route, and the season’s temperatures, we get you an exact quote before anything is booked, never a guess. Tell us your town and your timing and we will map it out.
Everything is handled the same as always, the airline-approved crate, food and water, the health certificate, and the booking itself. The only difference is the price comes as a quote, and we aim for the milder shoulder seasons, since a deep cold snap can hold a flight on the ground.
The paperwork
What Alaska requires
Alaska asks for a health certificate, and we take care of it. The state wants every animal coming in to travel with a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection, a CVI, written within thirty days, and a pet rabbit is no exception.
We book the appointment, handle the exam, and have the certificate ready before your kit travels, all for $100, timed to your trip so it stays current.
Alaska is careful about a rabbit illness called RHD, and since Oklahoma has never had a case, the exposure line on that certificate is a simple one to sign. When your kit flies, the certificate is folded into the arrangements anyway.
Alaska publishes its rules through the Office of the State Veterinarian, reachable at 907-375-8215.
Before you decide
What Alaska families ask
What are you promising us?
Your kit goes home thriving, well socialized, and handled every day of her life here. She comes with a 72-hour health guarantee.
It is all set down plainly on our sales policy page.
Do blue eyes bring health trouble?
Not a bit. Vienna is a color gene and color is the whole of its work, the coat and the eyes, and the rabbit underneath is as sound as any Holland on a show table.
Our Holland Lops for sale in Alaska are pedigreed and handed lap to lap every day they are here, so yours arrives as sociable and sweet as a rabbit can be.
How does the flight work?
We ship through Alaska Air Cargo’s live-animal service, routing your kit through Seattle and on to Anchorage or Fairbanks, and adding a smaller bush carrier for the last leg to a village off the road system.
Because routes and seasons vary, we quote it per trip and get you the exact figure before anything is booked. Tell us your town and your dates and we will map it out together.
Does my rabbit need paperwork for Alaska?
Yes, and we handle it. Alaska asks that animals entering the state carry a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection written within thirty days, so we arrange one for $100 and time it to your travel.
The state watches for a rabbit illness called RHD, and since Oklahoma has never had a case, that part of the certificate is simple. When your kit flies, the certificate is part of the arrangements already.
Can you really get a rabbit all the way to Alaska?
We can, and rabbits make this trip more often than you would think. The key is planning around the weather, since cargo holds have temperature limits at both ends, so we aim for the milder shoulder seasons and book with room to spare.
You will know the full plan and the full cost before you commit to anything.

Clubs and shows in Alaska
A lop is an easy way into a warm circle of breeders, show families, and 4-H kids. Here is where to start looking.
Near you
Local Clubs & 4-H
Alaska keeps a devoted rabbit-and-4-H crowd for such a far-flung state, gathered mostly around Anchorage, the Mat-Su Valley, and Fairbanks. A local club is the fastest road to a mentor, a show table, and someone who will pick up the phone when you have a question.
The breed
Holland Lop Specialty Club
The Holland Lop Rabbit Specialty Club is the breed’s national home, the place for standards, sweepstakes, and everything worth knowing about type and color in these little lops.
The district
ARBA District 1
Alaska anchors the far north of ARBA District 1, alongside Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. It is big country between shows up here, so many Alaska breeders make the national ARBA convention their yearly pilgrimage south.
Shows and fairs worth a visit
The Alaska State Fair in Palmer and the Tanana Valley State Fair up in Fairbanks both keep busy rabbit and 4-H barns, and they are fine places to spend a day talking rabbits with people who keep them.
For sanctioned rabbit shows near you, the ARBA club search keeps the current list.
The ups and downs
Owning a Holland Lop in Alaska
Alaska is, oddly, one of the easier places to keep a house rabbit, for the simple reason that half the year everyone here already lives indoors.
Spring through fall is mild and lovely for an animal in a permanent wool coat, and a bunny asks for nothing more than the warm room you are already sitting in.
The catch is the depth of winter. The cold turns fierce and the daylight thins to almost nothing, water freezes, and the air in a heated cabin runs bone dry.
None of it touches a house rabbit. She rides out the dark and the cold in the warm beside you, which is exactly where a lop most wants to be anyway.
Rabbit-savvy care
Finding a good vet in Alaska
A rabbit needs a veterinarian who sees rabbits often, and Alaska’s road-system towns manage a few good ones.
Being upfront: I’m most of a continent away in Oklahoma and haven’t been inside any of these clinics. Call ahead, check they’re taking new rabbit patients, and make sure the fit feels right.
Anchorage
Hillside Pet Clinic
An Anchorage clinic with a dedicated exotic service and a long bench of rabbit families among its regulars, well rated and caring for Southcentral pets since 1984.
The Mat-Su Valley
All Creatures Veterinary Clinic
A full-service Wasilla clinic serving the Mat-Su Valley since 1984, where one of the vets keeps rabbits of her own, so call ahead and they can tell you they will see yours.
The Interior
Aurora Animal Hospital
Up in Fairbanks, this hospital treats small mammals like rabbits, guinea pigs, and ferrets, the natural choice for the Interior and points north.
One more resource
Not near any of the three? The House Rabbit Society keeps a vet directory reaching into Alaska, maintained by people who take their own rabbits to the clinics they list. Your district 4-H rabbit leader is worth an ask too, since they always know which vet the show families call first.
Seasonal care
Caring for a Holland Lop through an Alaska year
Alaska’s year swings from deep dark cold to a bright, mild summer, and the plan follows the season. Our Holland Lops for sale in Alaska settle in beautifully once the routine has winter covered.
A handful of steady habits carries a bunny comfortably right around the calendar.
- Through the long winter, check her water twice a day, since a bottle can freeze even in a heated cabin near a cold outside wall.
- Heated indoor air runs dry, so keep fresh water and plenty of leafy greens in front of her to help her stay hydrated.
- Settle her spot away from both the woodstove and any drafty door, because steady and mild always beats warm and swinging.
- Outside the road system especially, keep spare water, warm blankets, and a week of hay set by, since a winter outage is a long one.
- Summer is the easy season, but on a rare warm, still afternoon give her a frozen water bottle to lean against.

A little Alaska history
The great hare of the tundra
Alaska keeps a rabbit of its own, though you would never mistake it for a Holland. The tundra hare, also called the Alaskan hare, is one of the largest hares in North America, a six to twelve pound animal of the windswept western coast.
It is built, top to bottom, for the cold. In winter its coat turns pure white, and even its ears run short, because out on that frozen coast long ears would only give away hard-won warmth. It is a creature shaped entirely by the country it lives in.
Our lops are shaped by something gentler: the living room. Small, round, and bred for a lap, our Holland Lops for sale in Alaska meet a northern winter the easy way, dozing in the warm while the tundra hare earns its living out in the wind.
