The doe should always be brought to the buck's enclosure to avoid conflict. Does are very territorial and may try to attack the buck and potentially castrate him.
 
Quiz #6 Answer

When breeding, the Doe should always be brought to the Bucks enclosure to avoid conflict.

The first correct answer was R Buns

Although there are a lot of aspects that play into a rabbit's behavior/personality (environment, genetics, how they are treated by the handler, etc). Does are typically known for being quite territorial, and as such often pick fights with other rabbits that enter their established enclosure, even in a mating situation.
Because if this it is advised to always bring the Doe to the Bucks enclosure while breeding, as bucks are much more laid back, and are generally quite happy to meet a woman.
Another option would be taking the rabbits to a neutral area away from any other rabbits/animals, such as an X-pen in your yard or garage. This usually eliminates territorial behavior as the area does not belong to ether rabbit, so chance of conflict is quite low.​
