In the forum I've read the thread about Nethies with the info about them being difficult to breed. This got me thinking about Lionhead rabbits and wondering if they are also hard to breed.
I gather Lionheads are a new breed, only just being recognised by the rabbit breeding and showing organisations in the USA. not sure what the status is in the UK, but I'm thinking "Not officially recognised by the British Rabbit Council yet"?
Its been mentioned on RO before that as a new breed, there has been a lot of inbreeding and cross-breeding with Lionheads whichhas led to genetic problems such as with teeth (know more about that than I'd like to) and their temperement is variable. On that basis (and any other I've not mentioned) are Lionheads regarded as being "difficult to breed"?
