Hello
What are your opinions regarding Cavaliers and Rabbits mixing happily and safely in a household.
I have 2 large house rabbits and we would like to own a dog, I was drawn to Cavaliers because of their sweet nature but having searched through a few threads that talk about their prey instinct I’m not sure what to think. Is it dependant on the temperament of the dog that matters most?
I would never leave any dog unsupervised with my rabbits but it would be nice if they were able to mix when we are around, although I do realise it will take time to achieve this is not something I expect to happen straight away.
I have seen photos of Cavs and rabbits snuggled up together and many people on Rabbit Forums have dogs & rabbits together (always supervised) so I'm hoping it's not impossible
We did hope to give a home to an adult rescue dog rather than a puppy.
I be glad to hear any thoughts you may have and hear from any owners whose Cavaliers share their homes with other pets. :winkct:
Thanks
Debs
