A responsible and reputable breeder is doing it to improve the breed, not destroy it. And finally I'd like to cover the rumors about breeders not caring properly for their rabbits. These rumors cover a wide range of subjects, no toys or exercise time, caged outdoors, forced to endure being shown, not educating pet owners, treated as livestock, etc. All this is not true. The very vast majority of breeders often place their rabbits even before their family members so rumors that we neglect or mistreat our animals are hurtful and so untrue.
Breeders do provide toys for their rabbits.
And yes they even allow them out to play. Long before then breeders were recommending people provide toys and bring bunny inside to play with. The important thing is, are the rabbits safe, happy, and healthy. Those that keep them outside often report their rabbits are healthier because they get plenty of fresh air. And of course there are breeders who have house rabbits.
