I am a small-scale breeder and could never get rid of any of my buns except the ones from a new litter that we are selling to other breeders or to pet people. But I know what you mean. Even in a small rabbitry, I have my favorites. Guenther Grunt, one of my stud bucks, is also my nirvana bunny -- he gets such a happy expression on his face when I stroke him that it totally dissolves away my own depression, anxiety, fear or unhappiness. Then there's Dolly. She was the top-ranked Flemish GIant rabbit nationally in the latter part of 2009. But beyond her promise as a brood doe, she is regal and dignified yet very affectionate. She talks to me by huffing through her nose. Then there's Bessie, and Eleanor, oh, I love 'em all, but I know what you mean.
