Last month I got a pair of Blanc de Hotots and am getting ready to try breed the doe. Both are purebred out of French and German imports. I have a chance next week to possible breed the doe to another buck at a show. This buck has a partial pedigree with a mix rabbit in the third generation. But he may help with type and the weight issue my doe has since she is about a pound under minimum weight. But I don't like not having a full pedigree and not sure where I stand on crossbreeding Hotots. My current buck will probably make senior weight when 9 months old but I am not sure it will be enough to help counter the does weight issue. It would also be nice to have kits not related to my buck so I can breed them to him.
So I not sure what I want to do. I am new to this breed and don't want to mess up a very rare breed. Thoughts?
