Right. The problem is that we cannot find a good puppy no matter what the breed is. ill, poorly treated puppies of strange, mix breeds go for a $1000. Ridiculous. I wish I could save all of those puppies, but my means are limited. Me buying one of them won't change the facts, it would just stress me out.

I just googled a Shih Tzu breeder in the UAE today, I'll try to get in touch with them. Hopefully something good will turn out.

A bunny definitely is not a good dog companion. I'd try another dog, maybe of the opposite sex... maybe a more submissive personality. Good luck!

I have to play on the side of the bunny Our family had our yorkie, and she was about 5 years old when we got Sarah, our bunny. She was a dwarf so she could have easily been mauled. But our yorkie was great with her, and we introduced her with a very baby-ish voice and told her to be gentle. Then we got another puppy who also was introduced to the bunny in a gentle way. They all got along GREAT!!!! It's definitely possible!!!! Don't count out the bunny. It really depends on everyone's personalities. For me, the bunny was one of the best pets I ever had, and the dogs and bunny were great friends!
