It would help if we knew how much she weighs, how old she is and a full body picture including the ears.

Do you have homes lined up for the rabbits?Are you aiming for show quality or pet quality?
I'm sorry - but this infuriates me....that you're in a hurry toidentify one type of rabbit so you can buy another one tobreed. What if this is not a dwarf? We can't tellfor sure from the picture? What if this one is bigger thanthe doe you get when you go to breed her?
Ok...I'm getting off my soapbox and shutting up before I get myselfinto hot water here. I'll let Amy & Gypsy and some ofthe others take over....

Can I ask a question. Why would youconsider breeding when you don't even know what breedyourrabbit is? This irks me to no end.
I've said it once I'll say it again Read Before You Breed.
Without papers you have no idea what is in your rabbits past.You can be passing along any number of health problems to innocentbabies.You are just asking for trouble. A million and onethings can and do go wrong. Any of whichcan lead to losingthe doe, the kits or both.
Rabbits can have up to 12 kits. Are you prepared to find goodhomes for that many babies. It's not easy. If something goes wrongthere is the added cost of vet care.
Not all does are natural born mothers. What are you going to doif the mother rejects the litter and you have to hand fed all thosebabies every two hours.
The list goes on and on and on. I hope you reconsider and Do Not Breed!

Do not breed your rabbit unless you have doneyour research, and know what breed it is! Also do not breed unless therabbit has a pedigree. Which I doubt it has. Breeding just because canbring you alot of problems. Placing the rabbits in a home, buyingequipment, vet bills. the list goes on. Also by just breeding with outknowing what **** you are doing don't cut it. Do you realize how manycute baby buns, and adults end up abused, dumped on the side of theroad, or dumped in shelters to be killed just because of people lackingexperience with rabbits? I think you need to take a look atpetfinder.organd look at all the homeless rabbits on therebefore you breed anything.
A responsible breeder would know what breed the rabbit is. Would visitarba rabbit shows, and do their research by reading the books onbreeding and care that the arba publishes.
And also breeding just because can bring you disease problems. Did youknow that the latest vhd outbreak happened to someone who didn't breedtheir animals ethically, or quarantine properly?Or probablydidnt do his research on them either?Mill breeder in it forthe buck. Do you want to become a mill/backyard breeder. Because thatsexactly what you will be doing.
Now how big is the rabbit? How much does it weigh?

Not again.....
I am sorry but you have no idea how SICK I am of BYBs!!!!!!!!!:X
Do NOT breed your poor rabbit! Do you evenknow how old it is? You obviously don't know what breed it is so youare just going to breed more unwanted mutt rabbits intothis world. THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!!!
Like Tina said there are SO many thingsthat could go wrong! What if your doe (which you haven't evenpurchased) has, oh say 12 babies, and she doesn't feel like feedingthem because first time mothers tend to be like that. Would you reallyspend over an hour or more a day feeding them?
What if she has a stuck kit, do you havethe resources to bring her to a rabbit savvy vet? Or are you just goingto let "Nature take its course"?
What if she gets mastitis are you going tobring her to the vets then? How will you care for thekits?
Seriously I have NO problem with peoplewho breed rabbits, I am not one of those people who thinks that no oneshould be allowed to breed rabbits. ButI think that if youare going to breed you MUST read, read, and read some more. When I wasgoing to start breeding I typed in "Rabbit Breeding" into google.comand literally read all the websites from 30 pages of results. Plus Ihaveread COUNTLESS books from the library. And still afterall that reading I wasn't fully prepared for what was going tohappened.
My doe had babies 3 months ago, she didn'tuse her nest box she had them ALL over the floor. So I took them outand warmed them up, and tried to put them back and she tried to attackthem, so I had to feed them by holding their mother down while theyate. And it seriously took like 2 hours a day at the beginning. We hada total of 5 babies 3 of which we sold to amazing homes. Well we kepttwo of them and one (my favorite) died so randomly at 7 weeks, it wasextremely heart breaking. Then when our last baby turned 10 weeks hesome how broke his back and wasn't able to move, so we had to bring himto the vets and it cost us over $200! Are you willing to spend thatmuch on one of your babies if they get hurt? So to sum up the story, I"handfed" all these babies and sold 3 and my two babies died and I was$200 behind. Is that what you want?

I dont know if its a law all over the US..butin NJwhen you buy a ferret they come alreadyaltered b/c it is illegal to breed them w/oa liscence....iknow it would push up the price of buns, but maybe it would be good topush for the same...itcould possiblycut down onproblems such as this...and ward awaysome shady owners!

As a breeder I somewhat agree with that. But wehave other people in certain rabbit yahoo groups that jump on the ARAband wagon everytime something like that comes up, or is suggested.Trust me, they freak out saying its a violation of their rights. Theyfreaked out on me the last time when i defended the texas spca forbeing victimized by 20/20 last week. but oh noes the spca was obviouslygeared towards shutting down all breeders. *sarcasm.*
Not sure how that would go over. It is a good idea. But people don'twant to pay a high price for animal thats considered to be a throwawaypet. It sucks.

I know the laws regardinglicensing and such vary from state to state and even municipality tomunicipality. (For example, ferrets are illegal throughoutCalifornia and within the city limits of New York City, but legalthrough the rest of the state.)
I agree that this would be helpful with rabbits, but unfortunately,many states (and PA is one of them) make these laws and then don'tenforce them. The other problem would be that there are somany small time breeders of rabbits and no real large scale breederswhere it would be easy to enforce. Also, the problems withlarge scale breeders are over bred females and inbreeding.Until recently, it was actually believed that ferrets and otherpolecats (minks, skunks...) could inbred without any problems, butthese large scale ferret breeders are continually having problems withferrets developing health problems at very young ages. Sorry,I just feel really passionately about this, I have a Path Valley ferretwho has adrenal gland cancer and he's not yet 2.
I feel equally strongly as everyone else about indiscriminate rabbitbreeding. You should not breed if the rabbit doesn't have apedigree, but especially if you don't know what kind of rabbit itis. If you aren't sure, the best thing to do is spay/neuterthe rabbit. They often make better pets this way and arehealthier. They are great pets, just not great breeders.
