I would stay away from the dwarf breeds, as they tend to be very aloof, skittish and less tolerant of handling and of other rabbits. If you have an unaltered male rabbit, an altered female would make a good companion. Typically, 2 unaltered males, or 2 unaltered females will become territorial and fight. Also, think about adopting from a rabbit rescue instead of buying one from a pet store. You would be giving an abandoned bunny a better life, while not supporting pet stores selling baby rabbits that are too young. Since the rescues handle and know all of the rabbits they have in their care, they will be able to match you with a compatible rabbit. Most of them also neuter and spay the animals before adopting them out. You might also consider having your rabbit help you pick one out by bringing him with you. If you do get another rabbit, I would highly recommend getting it spayed/neutered. Female rabbits over 2 years of age have an 80% risk of getting reproductive cancers. Although males do not have the same level of risk, it is good to get them neutered because it eliminates urine spraying and incessant mating with inanimate objects (i.e. your own foot!). They will also be less likely to roam, especially if they are outdoor rabbits. Both of my rabbits (male and female) are neutered and both tolerated the surgery extremely well. I know I got off topic, but I can't help myself! I hope it helps YOU! Large lop rabbit breeds tend to be the most mild mannered and friendly.
