It's usually a good idea to select rabbits to breed whose ancestry has evidence of good productivity and good genetics. That's where productivity records and pedigrees listing show winnings come in handy. Keep productivity and show records of your herd just for this purpose.
A ratio of one buck to 10 does is acceptable. The buck may be bred up to 7 times a week and occasionally the buck can be used twice in one day.
