Yep, With a wild/domestic cross I am hoping to get a heartier rabbit with the denser muscle of a wild bunny. Of course they will still be in a cage so it will only do so much to improve the quality. Most of the Domestics we have in the area are New Zealand Whites and California black ears. What I would really like to have is a few Flemish giants to cross with some of the BIG swamp bunnies we have so that hopefully I could get a heat tolerant strain out of them with a size close to that of the Flemish. The problem is getting Flemish giants down here.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
