  I have a netherland dwarf bunny as well! I saw his dad, but not his mom. His dad was about the size of the mom in the picture you have above. Therefore I believe that is probably the biggest she will get. However, the dad’s size is probably the smallest she might be. I think it might range between those two! My bun is still small (he is 5 months old) however I notice that he gets longer as he grows rather than wider. I think my bun is a little smaller than the mom in the picture you have above. But he is not even close to 3 years. Honestly it varies greatly so there is no clear cut way to know for sure, but Netherland Dwarf rabbits pretty much stay compact.
  Hope this helped!

  Is your ND bunny the black one you have in your picture galleries?
  
  And do you know when the ND breed stops their growing? I also think it might be more like the dad

  My Netherland is usually weighs in at the vet anywhere from 1.5 to 2 pounds. I have no idea about his mom and dad though.

  Wow the mom looks almost exactly like my bunny Kilala. I have 2 Netherlands and they reached their full size around 6 months.I have read dwarf rabbits usually reach their full size by 6 months. My male filled out a lot more after 6 months. Its really hard to tell how big yours will get but I will say the father is on the smaller size. He looks tiny. Is he show quality? Also the mother is brood quality that will make her a bit bigger. That is what a breeder would want to use to breed with. I think yours will end up being somewhere in the middle. Your rabbit does tend to take after the father but its really hard to tell at that age and by pictures. Mine always seem bigger in picture than in person. No matter the size its a cute bunny and the parents are beautiful! =)

  It’s kind of hard to tell exactly how those bunnies are from the picture, but last time I weighed my ND, she came out at around 2.5 lbs

  Yes that is my ND bunny! I don’t know exactly when they stop growing, but I have stopped seeing growth in my bunny at about 2 weeks ago and he is 5 months old.
  
  But you are right! Your girl does look like she will be more like the size of her dad. She is cute!

  Maximum weight for showing is 2.5 pounds, so ND breeders will try to keep it around there. They of course can be larger or smaller. There’s a member here with a ND that’s about 1.5 pounds. Mine is 3.5 lol.
  
  It’s really hard to know

  Awww, your bunny really looks like her dad. She’s got his fur and his face.
  
  Our NDs? If you insist
  
  Also I’m pretty sure that what I started to mutter at the end was “this is the most food-motivated bulls**t rabbit I have ever met” Which I’m starting to realize meant that I hadn’t met a lot of rabbits at the time.
