English Shepherds are smart dogs!! I think maybe if you can teach him that they are your bunnies and part of the family then he should be okay with them?? He might even want to protect them! Just gotta teach them they’re not to be chased or messed with. Should catch on pretty quick.English shepherd. He has an invisible electric fence they the rabbit hutches stay behind. The time he caught the baby bun was because the bunny ran away from us and ran past the fence.
