Whoops, wrong place, sorry.
That was highly unlikely seeing as they had always been fine with Jess.
Frenchie's are generally very laid back buns and mine have been no different. They couldn't care less if there's a child, cat, dog or even a cow in the same area as them (ok, I made up the cow part....they've never met one! ) Just like you know your buns wouldn't tolerate it, I know that River isn't bothered in the slightest.
If for some reason the rabbits hadn't coped with Mia (our first dog) then we'd have had to return her. Last one in, first one out, and all that....! Same if it had been a cat, monkey or snake that had caused the problems.
Sorry about the above mispost- I forgot to sign out.
Thanks for explaining I saw your reply to Gray which shows you clearly knew how they were before taking on a dog which makes sense to me.
If you already havRe rabbits then getting a dog IS an unnecessary risk and that is what this thread is all about. Someone who has rabbits but no dog. Should they get one? No.
Some posts on this thread really have made me laugh, slightly over the top in my opinion.
Me too :lol: some people worry too much and act so silly over something so trivial.

What points do you believe are trivial?

Worrying about something that is likely to never happen with the right precautions. I think it's worth mentioning that you need to be careful, but not that you shouldn't own both. I mean, I've had dogs and rabbits at the same time for over 7 years and nothing has happened because I don't let them interact, and the rare time that I have let them I'm supervising very carefully.
Glad to know you can see the future and know what it is worth worry about and not. Personally I find any unnecessary risk to my rabbits complete unacceptable. I guess it's a flaw in human nature that makes some people think they know everything, it shouldn't surprise me anymore.
I couldn't agree more!! :lol:

I find your posts both insulting and rude!
You dont want any other animals..... thats fine.... each to their own....but dont preach to others that have, and manage them all sucessfully and love every single one of them!

Indeed.
Couldnt agree more and he still hasnt answered the question if he has ever had a dog.Guess not as he doesnt have a clue about the beautiful souls
To those who have dogs and rabbits together, how would you cope if the rabbit could not cope or tolerate even the smell of the dog, let alone seeing them, through overwhelming fear?
