Should I breed my lionhead?

I have recently bought a purebred pedigree registered orange sport lionhead doe. Shes orange and white and has one blue eye and one brown eye. She is only 3 months old and I didnt plan on breeding her till she was about 6-61/2 which is about average for a rabbit. She has the conformation to show but because of her color she cant be shown. Her mother and father were both show rabbits and had won ribbons. Her mother was a siamese or sable point ( cant really remember)and her father was a blue eye white, which gives her the sport color and the different color eyes. I dont want to breed her to have show rabbits, atleast not for now and really want to breed for sports such as her, to make beautiful colorful pets for people and so people could add color in the rabbitry.There is a stud that has a champion pedigree thats a sable point buck that I wanted to breed her with when she hits the appropriate age, do you think I should do it? All the rabbits would be registered and would only go to homes with refrences with strick contracts and buy back options. Just thought Id ask on other peoples oppinion. This is my fist time ever breeding a rabbit but i have alot of friends that are helping me out that have rabbitrys that are right there for me.Thanks for writing
