I have been rasing and breading rabbits for about 3 years. I have found that when I have mix breads they seem to have a better dispsition. If anyone can tell me why please send your thoughts.

When you are raising a rabbit to show [purebred] you are after a certain trait, coat color, length, pattern, meat quilty, ect.so temperment takes a back seat a lot of times. Mixed breeds are like mutts you get a variety of traits which generaly makes for a better adjusted animal.

If you find yourself with a mean rabbit or even one with a bad disposition, do not keep it. The same goes with a rabbit that does not take care of her children. I give them two chances. If they are a por mother the second time, they don't get a third chance. If your original stock came from over bred or inbred animals this could be an explaination for their behavior.
