If you mean the domestic breeds then yes. They are all a part of the same species, Oryctolagus cuniculus (the European Rabbit),and thus can interbreed and produce viable offspring, this is also true of interbreeding wild European rabbits and domestic ones. But it probably would not work if you tried two cross two different species of wild rabbits (or other lagomorphs) because, in part they have different gene counts. So you could not cross an eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus) with your pet rabbit, but you could cross a Rex and an English Spot, since they are just two breeds of domestic rabbit.

You can, but make sure that the doe (girl) is smaller than the buck (boy). Also, if your meaning like different breeds, You really wont get the a breed. So, say you breed an Angora with an American, You will get an Angora/American mix. But if you are meaning different colors from the same breed, you can and you will usually get the same breed, just a different color. I hope this helps.

Not a good idea, the inbred offspring have a much greater likelyhood of being sick and deformed.
