]Breeding a broken to a broken will produce what is called a "Charlie" (a broken that has to little color). Similar to your buck.  Most breed standards call for 50% color on a broken, more like your doe.This pairing will likely produce lovely pets but not show table babies.

Ok thanks.

Actually, that's not a great description since a brokenXbroken (or BbXBb) breeding is going to produce 25% each solid(bb) and Charlie(BB) and 50% will be normal broken (Bb) rabbits. If that buck is a charlie (could be based on coat pattern) you would get half broken (Bb) and half charlie (BB). If that breeding ever produces a SINGLE solid rabbit ever then both parents are broken (Bb). If you breed a solid to the buck and get only ever get spotted kits it means the buck is Charlie (bbXbb=Bb for all the kits).
It looks like you might have a tricolor there with the orange one? Unless you know what's in their genetic history there's no way to know for sure what colors will come out of that breeding. Probably blacks and steels? My tricolor produces black and steels (both broken and solid) when bred to genetically solid black rabbit. You should learn which colors are accepted in your breed by the ARBA. That's the only way to know which colors will/wont be showable. There are many things that could make a rabbit DQ'd at the show table. Even a toenail being the wrong color or being a few ounces too heavy.

I was trying to keep it simple as I'm pretty sure Sternrose is a younger person.

nowadays you learn that kinda genetics and things in 6th grade so ChocolateMouse's description should work..

Thanks and I'm in 8th grade, and just now learning about Punnett squares. Lol. And I understand what your saying. My rabbits just got there papers, can I redgerster them? The breeder doesn't have papers or pedigrees for hers.

I fully understand this if it was 1year ago I would be totally confused.lol

so does anyone know where I should go to get my rabbit spayed? I called the county spay/neuter department and they said they don't do rabbits in our county? My rabbit has always been kinda mean but she's been attacking people lately.. I can't send her to a new home because of this and I'm not too sure what to do.. I am willing to keep her but only if she's spayed

Chirp, there are very few rabbit vets in the US that actually know what they're doing and you will be looking at spending $100+ to spay your rabbit. Further more, while spaying MAY help, because she's an older rabbit the risk of complications for the surgery are increased and the chance of it actually doing anything have gone down.
Unfortunately this is just one of the facts of pet ownership and it is why many cats end up being strays and creating invasive feral populations that destroy native wildlife and have become a nuisance. People don't want to get them spayed and then their cats get hormonal and start spraying and they get dropped off in the woods somewhere to die of FIV or something. The same with rabbits. Can't find a vet to spay, then they start behaving like a normal teenage rabbit, then the rabbit goes outside to get ripped up by a fox or something...

You may be able to locate someone by inquiring with house rabbit societies and house rabbit websites. I don't like their opinions on rabbit care but they do have lists of rabbit savvy vets online. if you care to ASK for a rabbit savvy vet from those groups, be warned they may tell you about what a horrible owner you are for not having her spayed by now. They can be SUPER bonkers. You may have better luck with simply training your rabbit like a dog or chicken to behave properly.

well her behavior isn't like a dog or a chicken. yesterday, I had to trap her under a bucket to keep her from coming at me.

Don't be mean back, part of owning a rabbit is going through mean fazes. My mini lop is like that every 8 weeks, breed her twice, 1 successfully but lost the litter, she calms down, try breeding her with a buck that's not her breed. How old is she? And what breed?
