i have a lionhead and a lionlop. the male is always humpimg her but i dont think he is getting it right. he doesnt lay down after or grunt as i have read. she just runs off after . i feel quite sorry for him !!
they are both around 6-7 months old
before any one starts i have decided to start breeding them and that has been my families choice. they will be neutered when they have bred succesfully.
thanks

The doe should raise up before he breeds her. When the buck breeds her, he will grunt and kind of roll up into a ball on her back then finally fall over. If she doesn't raise up and he doesn't grunt, then she probably didn't get bred.
You might want to start watching her behavior. If you ever see her start getting a mad phase or she starts raising her rear end up when you run your hand over her rear end, then she is wanting bred and that is a good time to attempt breeding her.
If you have a lot of trouble, you may need to force breed her to get her bred. That basically involves using a shoestring with a slip-knot tied on the end. Tighten the slip knot around the base of her tail. Hold the doe in place and pull on the shoe string up over her back to raise her tail. This allows the buck to more easily breed her. Also there is a vein just in front of where you sex the doe. Run your finger back and forth across that vein by putting your hand under the rabbit as you lift the tail with the shoestring. You should be able to feel the vein with your hand. Running your finger over the vein should cause the doe to raise up also making it easier for the buck to breed the doe. It's easier to show a person how to force breed rabbits than to type it out, but I think you should get the idea of how it works. When the buck curls up on the doe after grunting, it is a good idea to hold his bottom up in against the doe. This helps ensure that the semen gets inserted properly.
You don't need to spade or neuter the buck and doe after you breed them. The buck and doe should be kept separate anyway to avoid fur chewing, getting tails bitten off, ear bitten, etc. As long as they are kept separate you should not have to worry about anymore litters unless you have a miracle and immaculate conception.

He could be squirting somewhat in her, yet once you desire them to pass in the process the entire technique i could carry her nevertheless. Kneel down and place her between your legs, her head dealing with you so her back end is protruding for him, enable him do his ingredient repeatedly returned, it may take approximately 5 minutes till he actual squeezes in. good luck!

Give him more time- he's young and has to 'learn' how to do this, as does she.
