Im reading a few books on rabbitry because we are going to be raising meat rabbits. Here is an excerpt from one of them:
"After having a litter, the question arises of what to do with the offspring. Hopefully you have planned this out before even doing the mating. A responsible bunny breeder would. Not every rabbit produced is show or breeding quality. Its tempting with the rare types to sell all kits as breeding stock. After all; if they are rare, every rabbit is breeding stock, right? NO!!! Only about 10% of the offspring you produce will be as good as, or better than their parents. This should be the goal of any good breeding program, no matter how rare the type of rabbit. "
This should and could also be said about bulldog breeders. I fear rabbit breeders may have more grit than many bulldog breeders.
