NO TERRIERS! Things like labs and collies that are good natured natuarally %26amp; have a reputation for being 'smart' would be the pic. You would have the best of luck with getting puppies, so they can naturally adapt to the other animals. Terriers are hatefull spitefull animals. I have seen many. The name comes from them being territorial. They hate other animals that are in the same surrounding as them. Chiwawas bite and nip, they would probably kill your pets. So will minpins. Big dogs arnt bad. A collie would be good. Or lab.Can anyone advise a breed of dog which gets along better with rabbits / guniea pigs ??
My Great Pyranese loved my rabbits. He thought the newborns were the greatest thing ever!
this may sound strange but i have 2 ferrets and i bring them to my Friends house and they have pit-bulls they play very well with them
I would definatley say to stay away from any terrier breed. They are bred to hunt critters. Even if you have one from a pup, it's in their blood. It's very hard to train it out of them. Make sure you find a dog that doesn't have hunting in their breed.

Try a quiz like this to see what comes up. If you can find a quiz like this that includes what other types of pets you have in the home, that would be perfect!
Good luck :)
try small breed dog, also check online and with people who raise dogs.
I would suggest a breed that does not have strong herding instincts. For example, Border Collies, German Shepherds, etc. any kind of herding dog tends to have stronger prey drives. If I were you I would do lots of research on breeds that don't have those instincts. I think no matter what kind of breed you decide on, getting a younger dog will help. S/he will be able to grow up realizing the small animals are part of his/her pack. Good luck to you!
well one thing i can tell you is stay away from terriers and greyhounds they greygound chases a fodent in a race the terrier was used for pest control and their natural instincts come back from time to time my friend has a shitzu that sleeps with a rabbit
I have two golden retrievers. They are older, but they don't bother the rabbits at all. Several other people on a rabbit forum I'm on have had good experiences with goldens and rabbits.
My Bernese Mountain Dog is great with small animals. He used to let my hairless rat crawl into his hair to sleep.
Not all animals will get along with small animals even if raised with them. I would stay away from any breed in the terrier or herding groups, and I would probably try to stay away from the toy breeds too. Most working breeds would be okay, the only concern would be the size.
