I just realized today at the show how very little I do know about rabbits :shock:it was quite shocking. It's not that I refuse to pick up information---I don't know where to get the information! So, I was wondering what breeders do and how to pick out breeder rabbits and show rabbits from the culls (for me, culls would just be "pet" rabbits needing pet homes.) I'm getting in to Californians and Netherland dwarfs. I have a doe/buck pair that needs replacing andI plan on getting a doe/buck breeding pair from a breeder somewhere before i get too far along into my breeding plan.
I'm also going to get a breeder neth. dwarf (i already have the nice nethie buck i need).
So,basically i wanted to pick your brains as to what qualifies your kits/future senior breeders that you buy to become those future show and breeding animals. What do you look for in each section of the rabbit?
Specifically, coat and toplines/rump area.
Thanks!
