stupid question ...

[butsy]

ok, this is gunna sound stupid buuuuuuuuuuuut... can a dog and rabbit bond ? i swear my bunny bonded to my yorki!!!!!

Yes, some dogs and some rabbits get along very well!

I would just caution you to only let them together while supervised. At the end of the day, one is a predator and one prey, so you never know what might happen. But as long as you're there to supervise I think they could have a lot of fun hanging out together. Just watch that the dog doesn't play too roughly - she probably wouldn't mean to hurt the bunny, but dogs use teeth on each other when they play and they could hurt a rabbit that way.

i never leave them alone unsupervised dont worry !!!! . and gus isnt rough on butsy its funny cuz when butsy binkys, gus jumps with her, its to cute !!

 

[elrohwen]

Hahaha, that sounds really cute!

I know some great dog and bunny teams, so when it works out, its really great. I hope to have a dog that can be trusted with my bunnies someday.

[elrohwen]

Sounds like my two. I leave the room and come back the dog will be sleeping, the bunnies jumping on her.

I have a friend who had a Mini Lop and a golden lab who loved each other. The lab would carry the rabbit around the house by the "scruff".

hahaha cute !!!!!, im glad they get along . when we were getting the dog, i researched yorkies. and found out they are bred to kill rabbits !. but hes totally fine with her

 

[elrohwen]

I can't say I've ever met a yorkie who had any kind of prey drive. Lol. I think they've been lapdogs so long that they've forgotten how to go after rodents and rabbits
