I vote for pure bredrescue bunny.
I agree with that. My mom adopted a purebred West Highland White Terrier (Westie) and he has nerve problems (and a crooked "kickstand" leg). He also has a very dry, itchy coat. All three Westies we've had all had itchy skin. The Westie-Poodle mix we had didn't have any coat problems at all.I've even read that most mixed bred dogs are the healthiest, because if both purebreds are more prone to an health issue, it almost knocks each other out.
Purebred or not. Rescues are the best! They will always remember that you rescued them (they seem to enjoy life a bit more).
They will always remember that you rescued them - yes - but they may not always "attach" well to you also....due to issues from their prior life.Purebred or not. Rescues are the best! They will always remember that you rescued them (they seem to enjoy life a bit more).

I'm not against adopting rescued rabbits - I love Zeus dearly and am so glad I rescued him.
But life with a rescued rabbit isn't all roses and sunshine - just like life with a breeder's rabbit isn't all roses and sunshine. In both cases - there can also be some not so great things.
So whatever you decide to get - try to spend some time with the rabbit itself and get to know it and try to get a feel for if it will bond with you or play with you or whatever.
