which one for a meat rabbit, hardy, and possibly sell some to local hunters ???

Cross a NZ with a rex or a satin, say, or a flemish...But someone out there near you has likely already done it, watch the ads and you will find some "brown" rabbits eventually...Or you could go with red-eyed whites--they aren't as cute to some...
All rabbits are made of meat. You don't need a specific breed, just don't pick boney ones!

only problem with this is the domestic rabbits just dont smell the same it sounds crazy i know i doubted it when i was told but after breeding and training beagles for years i have seen the difference in a dog trained on somestic crosses and actual wilds. being from michigan where sanjuans are very much unwanted i have used missouri cottontails and they are very good they raise easy in hutch style cageing i didnt have luck in wire boz show style pens though. or a colony would be a good way to do it also. I would suggest missouri cottontails but you may want to check your local laws too
Wouldn't do you any good. If they could talk they'd just say'"It's a dog thing. You wouldn't understand".RunninMI":1iov2o0p said:eco2pia i wish i could tell ya lol it doesnt make since to me and well the hounds have yet to learn to speak to explain it to me lol but if they ever do ill definatly tell you guys.
