I agree with Devon. I had spots for a while as a kid and they are not an easy breed, IMO. There are a LOT of culls, which is bad when you're a kid and a total softy.
I find Chekered Giants to be very intriguing rabbits. Giant size, marked breed...I'm SURE there are lines out there that have great temperaments. You should look up Youth breeders from the ARBA convention and see what lines they have if you're interested in less evil temperaments.
