Delicious!

lol actually I've never eaten rabbit. Wondered why people would keep rabbits for pets. Yo me it seems like they just sit in a cage and eat. Was shocked to find out how many people eat rabbits for food. The wya they multiply, seems like a cheap food source!
sorry, off topic I know

He's cute by the way

Rabbits can make excellent pets if they aren't left in their cage 24/7. Many have great personalities and are great fun to have as a house pet. Can be litter trained and reliably use a litter box for all their pottying needs.

Years ago, I had a rabbit before I brought home my greyhounds. One night, she got out of her enclosure and was having a blast running around the living room. My greyhound came in to wake me up to let me know the bunny was out and just stood in the middle of the living room watching her have some free 'unsupervised' time. Now had she done that outside, he'd have grabbed her, but inside, he knew she was part of the family.

do a search for "The Netherland Dwarf Show Rabbit" site..it has a lot of photos and links.
personally i think the chestnut doe might have the best type ,and the Broken color buck of the 3 bucks(1st pic) but it's hard to determine from just the picture angles you have up ...

Would they be good for breeding AND showing?

I think... and I'm not an expert or anything...
But your first one has good ears, but the face isn't square enough and the body is not typy (wrong spelling) sorry.

How much does he weight, ND are supposed to weight up to 2.5 lbs and that's probably too big for a good one...

They're supposed to have a scrunched up pose, ears close together and no more than an inch high, small ears.

How do their teeth look, ND have teeth problems sometimes.

we have three. Is broken a color for showing in ND's IDK....
please do your self a favor and read, read, and read some more on the Netherlands, they're cute and cuddley...but they do have draw backs...
good luck...
See how that bk broken one has a sqaure-ish face, but the body is supposed to be higher and rounder.... which i really don't see in any of them... sorry.

Again, I'm NOT an expert of them...

I would post on rabbitsonline.net, they have a couple of Netherland Dwarf breeders and offer honest critques.

I, however, couldn't tell you anything about them!
