My suggest is to adopt from a rescue or shelteror to look into getting an adult that is looking for a retirement omefrom a breeder. Why? Because there is no breed that is guarenteedsweet, mellow, etc. If you get a baby, you are taking a gamble. Oftentimes babies are sweet and cuddly but once they hit the 'teen stage',they get tempermental and once they are past that stage, they may notbe the same sweet bunny you had in the first place. I know a lot ofpeople give up their bunnies after only a few months because 'they arejust too mean' and it's a natural stage of development and is verycommon.
Now generally speaking, the bigger the better only because the biggerbreeds tend to be more mellow (not guarenteed though). As far as themale/female thing goes, males may spray, but neutering them can fixthat, but does also spray (my doe is bad for this) and yes they can bevery moody and tempermental, once again, spaying helps. All 3 of myrabbits have gone through period of months where they are veryantisocial and want nothing to do with people, they have also been verymean at times. This is whyI recommend adopting an olderbunny, my 3.5 year old bucks were mean until about 2 years of age andnow they are the sweetest, most mellow rabbits you can imagine.
