Hi and welcome to the forum. Well done for doing your research before getting your bunny :)

This site will probably answer all of your questions https://rabbitwelfare.co.uk/. There is also a lot of valuable information on this forum, as well as very many people very experienced in caring for rabbits. It's very important to provide sufficient space for them to get exercise. In your case it will also be important to make arrangements concerning your dogs.

I would consider rescue rabbits if I were you. There are so many unwanted rabbits living in rescues and you would also have the opportunity of assessing the character of the rabbits. I would also consider, if you can, getting a bonded pair of rabbits as rabbits are extremely social animals and thrive when living with one of their own kind.

Any remaining questions after reading through the link then please just ask :)
