Rabbits can breed as early as just a few months of age. 3 for males and 4-5 months for females. Although if you are breeding them intentionally you should wait until the female is at least one year of age.
Rabbits can breed as young as 12 weeks however this is really not good for them.
If you absolutely have to breed your rabbit it is best to wait until they have reached at least 1 year old first for females. Males become sexually mature much sooner and are able to breed at 12 weeks with no problems.
Waiting to breed your does until they are a year old means you are risking them becoming too fat to conceive, storing fat around the fallopian tubes. Breeding your bucks at 12 weeks will stunt their growth. You should wait until your rabbits are at least 6 months old or have reached mature weight for their breed.
