For a small breed, 6 months. For a larger breed, 8-9 months. Your doe should have her first litter before she's a year old or it may become harder for her to have subsequent litters. This happens because fat will accumulate in the abdomen around the ovaries/fallopian tubes. The only effect it will have on her bone structure is that her pelvis doesn't fully harden until around a year, so if you wait longer than this, the chances of a baby getting stuck are greater. If she has litters earlier, the bones will spread apart a little allowing for easier delivery. Having litters up to 4-5 years isn't uncommon and I've even heard of 9 year old does raising litters.

9 months for the female. If she gets any older she may have a complicated birth due to Rabbits having brittle bones. Her hips are not strong enough to cope after certain age good luck

There is no good time to mate rabbits. Get your bunnies spayed/neutered and don't contribute to the overpopulation problem.
