DO NOT breed your rabbits, please! After cats and dogs, rabbits are the most common animal surrendered to shelters and humane societies. There are more rabbits than there are homes for them, and it is very selfish to decide to breed rabbits just because you think the babies will be cute. You obviously do not know much about rabbit genetics, and likely not much about breeding in general. I really do not want to sound mean, but you're playing with living things here, not toys. Rabbits live several years and finding homes for them all may be difficult. The mother needs extra care during pregnancy and rearing the young, are you sure you can handle that? What about all of the babies? Do you know how many she could have in one litter alone? What do you plan on doing with the babies?
Make sure that breeding is actually something you're ready for, but also think of all the animals in shelters, and the pet stores that have plenty of them. If you want a black and white rabbit, you're more than likely to eventually find one at a shelter or store.

Breeding your rabbits is not a good idea. If you disagree with that then make sure you can take care of the babies. But first try a pet store to find a black and white rabbit.
