Hello!! I've had my little honey mickey for 8 years now. He has grown up to be a fine young yorkie. He definitely has a different personality than most dogs, in my opinion. He has always been afraid of all dogs – even the ones his size, if not smaller. I've never seen him chase any small animals. However in my basement we had a mice problem once. He'd bark while laying down in the direction he saw or heard a mouse running. He couldn't chase after them though because they'd be up on the kitchen counters. The point of my rambling is – I don't see him as one to be triggered by small animals, even though it's in his genes. (P.S. I'm going to attach a picture of him just because. He is so very small!!)
I am thinking about getting a rabbit to keep for myself. I've done tons and tons of research on them so far. I know that rabbits are prey, not the predators, and are naturally anxious about the bigger animals around them. I have also researched other people's experiences with rabbits and yorkies. No one has had a definite answer as to whether it's a good idea or not. I am not quite sure which breed of rabbit I'd like yet, maybe a lop, or a rex. There are also other breeds I've seen listed that are said to be good with dogs.
So, does anyone have any stories about a yorkie and rabbit mix? Given my dogs personality, I really hope it's not a problem. If it is, I have to do everything I can to keep my rabbit away from my dog. But, being realistic... is it a good idea, or not? Thanks for the input
