Re: Dutch Rabbit Breeders

this is a very hot topic on most animal forums, to breed or not to breed!?
Personally I am not anti but I'm not pro either. I think rescuing is a good idea, although breeding can give you a much more stable animal, rescue cases often have behavioural problems and its not always a good option for some people. Breeding for perfection has its down side, doing this can magnify the flaws as well as the good things.

All animals have a natural instinct to breed. It's nature, rabbits moreso than most.

As for telling me I need to do some planning, well dur!

We weren't all dropped on our heads as babies.

Sorry but I find it very hard to take someone's opinions serious when they think it's okay to leave a dog with small children.

I know it is instincts but you have to think, he's your pet, not a wild animal where a human is making him.

Also I wasn't trying to say you were dropped on your head as a baby, and neither was I, but that was a sick way of describing someone's intelligence.

I did not say its ok to leave EVERY dog with children, I know many kids who walk their dogs (on their own), from Yorkies to Rotties and NONE have been harmed. Some dogs are actually GOOD with children

You're in the wrong thread for explaining yourself about that. But as you mentioned it; IT IS NOT OKAY TO LEAVE ANY DOG ALONE WITH SMALL CHILDREN.

Most dogs are good with children. My dog is brilliant with children, he often plays with them at family parties and has never shown any sign he would attack someone. But a dog is a dog and can never be trusted 100%. I would never leave him alone with small children.

I believe all animals in pet stores, rescues and breeders all need a loving home with someone to care for them. Sometimes its best to not think of your needs over your pets... does your bunny really need to breed? That's all I meant.
you wont find a pure bred dutch though
