    Newbie needs help choosing a Rabbit breed.

    Between the information you and Ridgetop provided, I feel much more prepared. I was also pleased to hear you both favor the Californians. That is the breed I really would like to have, but I was prepared to purchase whichever would do best in my climate. So Californians it will be. Thank you...
