Would a pet maltese get along well with a pet rabbit?

Question

I already have a pet malese, he is about 1 1/2 years old. I was thinking about getting a pet rabbit. I was just wondering how the two would get along. I don't want the dog to attack the rabbit or for the rabbit to be scared out of it's skin whenever it sees the dog. If I did get a rabbit however, it's not like I would leave them alone together.

thanks

Answer 1

Read here: http://www.rabbit.org/journal/1/dogs.htm...  If your dog is obedient and low prey drive, they may get along together fine if properly introduced.  I would go with a larger breed of rabbit, something along the lines of a Californian or larger than that, it's less tempting to chase a larger rabbit than a small one.

Answer 2

Of course they could. U know ur maltese...u should kinda know depending how it acts around other dogs
