Lord Chesterfield was one of the finest bucks I have ever seen. Born with a congenital illness (a hernia)---I never thought that he would make it to the ripe age of three---but he was a stellar rabbit! A tiptop lop if ever there was one. He was a 'gentle giant'---one of the most affectionate lops I have raised. His brother 'Brueghel' lives on---they quite resemble one another, except Brueghel has a little mustachio! Lord Chesterfield died this morning from complications of the hernia. He suffered a great deal but showed incredible fortitude and courage. He is very much loved and will be greatly missed at Tiptoplops (mostly by his competitor: Lowenbrau).
