Two quick questions

Two questions....
I have a lionhead doe who I need to breed. She had a litter almost year ago and don't want her to develope fat around her reproductive system. This being said all my lionhead bucks (except her son) died a few months ago when I had a nasty out break. Is it okay to breed her to her son until I can afford some new herd bucks?

Second what info do you guys have on French lops? I'm wanting to buy a litter trained buck for my sister who's dog just died.

Can't help you with the French lops, but you can go ahead and breed you doe to her son. This is called line breeding, and is commonly used by a lot of breeders to strengthen certain traits they want in a line. Keep in mind too that it also can strengthen the bad traits, so you might be facing more culling than if you bred out to an unrelated buck.

Line breeding quality to quality can yield the best results, better often than unrelated animals being bred.
