[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many questions…how do you have a cat and a free roam rabbit? Your German Shepard doesn’t care if 20 people including 13 children stay in his house for a week? Do you drug your animals?

How long has it been since your mom raised a puppy? Why does she think it’s a good idea to get a puppy right before she has to travel for the holidays. She should get the puppy after the trip and stay home with it until it’s older.

Dachshunds are small, often aggressive toward other animals and very nippy. At 3 months, she really can’t board it and as it will need to be taken to potty every 3 hours, including at night a pet sitter is a challenge. At 3 months, it won’t have all its shots. It’s generally recommended to not walk or travel until they have had the 16 month parvovirus shot. No one lets a 3 month old puppy have full access at home let alone somewhere else. You start with an X pen, do supervised play time in a gated puppy proof room, or secured backyard area always being near them. Don’t ever leave a small breed puppy in an outdoor exercise pen as hawks, owls or other predators might get them.

Puppies need a lot of sleep. Socialization is best done by gradually stepping up not throwing the puppy into chaos. [/quote]

Also rabbits can be very territorial. If the puppies instinct to go after the rabbit kicks in then unless you have a very tiny dwarf rabbit your bunny could seriously or fatally injure the puppy. Rabbits are serious fighters when threatened. I’d avoid remembering this holiday as the time bunny dismembered puppy, MIL stomped on bunny, and German Shepard attacked MIL to protect bunny. [/quote]

OMG this is good thinking, horrifying and strangely funny. I had a free roaming bunny and it's true they are territorial. If the German Shepard loves that bunny, it will protect bun bun. Plus, little puppies need protection-no free roaming in that circus.[/quote]
