Buck or Doe?

Anyone have any preference over bucks or doe? I want a friendly laid back bun so have picked a buck but I can pick a doe if needed. I know each has their own personality but I'm just wondering in a more general term?

Now that I've had experience with both, I can honestly say I couldn't choose between the two. My son's little girl bun jovi is just as laid back as my English lop buck, but they are two different personalities. He is a super friendly boy that likes to be held and acts like a little dog. Jovi does not like to be picked up, but she does like to be held on the floor, and she does love her petting. My buck is a lot stinkier, but he is still intact until next month. One thing I will say though is that my buck has never bitten me, and Jovi has taken her nips a couple of times. She is a little moodier. They are both sweet and lovable, just different. To add, she is a Holland Lop and he is a large breed rabbit and large breeds tend to be a little more on the laid back side.

Hi there, thanks so much for your reply. Your buns sound lovely and such great names. I think I should stick with my male as he did attract me straight away given his unusual markings.

We have 14 rabbits. 5does and 9 bucks. Of course every rabbit has it's own personality and traits to their breed but overall I have found bucks to be easier to deal with. They aren't aggressive with us and don't bite while the females can be this way if not altered.

Perfect thanks so much

Unless you nuter a buck then I would suggest a doe. Even though a doe is more active and territorial , a buck will spray and spray with you with pee. From my experience I would pick a doe.
