Alrighty, so i have 3 dogs 2 buns and 12 chickens. They all get a long great, except my barred rocks like to beat up one of my dogs. XD I would get a puppy, so they can be around them and not really know that they will be stronger and be docile with your animals. Also, make sure your the leader of the house. This seems to make the dog calm down. I have a big mix breed (115lbs) who thought he was top dog when he arrived and tried to get at the chickens. We straightend him out real fast and now he doesnt go after them when theyre out.I hope my personal experiences could be spme help. Submissive dogs (probably) wont hurt your babies!
Okay thanks! I prefer adult dogs, because you already know their personality and temperament, but i'll resarch further into it. Is your dog(s) (the big one) good with your rabbits? My rabbits live inside, our house isn't too big, and I wouldn't a large dog hurting the buns (the bunnies live in their own seperate room, the dog wouldn't live with them, but the dog could slide open the door by accident or rush in when i'm feeding them).
