Bunnies do not recognize breed. Not to the extent that they won't get along with eachother because of it. The important thing is to find to rabbits who already seem not to mind each other, then you have to go through a bonding process, which may only take a couple weeks, or could take months.
I had a Netherland Dwarf. I decided to get him a girlfriend (both fixed). So, I took him to the shelter and introduced him to a couple different female rabbits. One bunny (a silver martin) was too scared of him, the staff member who was helping me thought that they wouldn't be a good match. Then we introduced him to a lovely Hotot mix. They didn't attack each other right away, which often happens when two rabbits meet for the first time, and Holly didn't mind to much when Oz mounted her. She tolerated it for a few seconds, and then hopped away.
So, I took Holly home with me. But that's not where it ends.
They were pleasant to each other for about a week, and then Oz got irritated with something Holly did and they started fighting. For two months, whenever I put them to play together, they'd get along for a little while (5 minutes to half an hour) and then they'd start to fight, and I'd have to separate them.
All of the sudden, after about two months, they stopped fighting, and now they are best friends :)
Go to www.rabbit.org to learn more about the bonding process.

I somewhat have adventure with the two breeds and from own adventure, Holland Lops are a thank you to circulate. i could say to get a male as they have an inclination to be greater social and energetic then the does. they're additionally greater in all probability to be friendly, in spite of the undeniable fact that that could desire to be reported for any rabbit in case you make the hassle with it. I somewhat have seen greater aggresive Lionheads then I somewhat have Holland Lops. additionally, Holland Lops are somewhat smaller then Mini Lops. Hollands time-honored a weight of three to 3 and a 0.5 pounds collectively as Mini Lops time-honored greater around 5 pounds.

The breed doesn't matter. Some lionheads will get along with Holland lops and others won't. It depends on how you introduce them together. You must bond them properly.
Buy them the same day and then let them slowly get used to each other. If they fight then they can't live together in the same cage/hutch.

They might... I'd definitely watch them though. It also depends on what sexes they are too.
Sometimes two males put into the same area will be alright, but they can and will attack each other. They fight for dominance and a female even if there isn't a female present.
I would definitely watch them if one is male and the other is female because if you let them loose together for any length of time then in about 30 days the female will have babies.
Uusally two females are fine together.
