I have a lop-eared rabbit. When I bought it at the pet store, the girl said she was a lop-eared dwarf. And then she got huge (and not because I feed her too much). So, I think they were way off. I don't think it is a dwarf.
Answers:
Actually the average life span of a rabbit is 10-15 years if properly taken care of. If it is given exceptional care, it can live beyond that range. If it is not given the care it needs or if it develops a health condition, it will not live quite as long.
All rabbits are individuals of course just like people. But when taking on a rabbit, it is like taking on a dog or a cat, not a hamster who will die after a few short years. So you have to be willing to make a long term commitment to the animal.

It sounds like it is NOT a dwarf. My sister has a bunny ( floppy ) a large floppy eared rabbit they thought was a dwarf because it was the runt of the litter, she has now had the rabbit for over 10 years and we give it a present every christmas and birthday. It is a big part of her family and we dread the day it dies. But it seems to be very healthy and the VET says she should last another 3 years or so. Amazing but true they have a long life expectancy if well taken care of.
I think rabbits average life is about nine years, i have a five year old rabbit, as long as you feed your rabbit well and handle it loads it'll live for years. i Take my rabbit to the vets for a check up every year and he gets his vaccine against myxomatosis, apparently rabbits can get it and there are no symptoms and your rabbit can die from it. The vaccine is optional and theres no certainty that your rabbit will get it, i just like to be care full. hope all this helps.
A neighbor asked me to take his rabbit because his family sold their house and had to move into an apartment. He did not think it would live much longer because they already had it 11 years and its friend died 2 years before that. I had it for more than 3 years before it died. It was neither a lop-ear nor a dwarf. Just a regular black with gray speckle rabbit.
