Okay, story time!! I love animals (duh) and in highschool I joined the FFA, convinced my mom to let me get chickens (now she is hooked on the cooky birds), and fell in love with farming and being outdoors. Well I moved off to college to get s degree in farm and ranch management. I couldn't bring my chickens, or get any other general livestock. I quickly fell into a slum only having a few cats, and nothing to do outdoors. It broke my fiance's heart seeing me that way, so he got me a dog. She is a boxador ( Boxer crossed with Labrador). She lifted my spirits, but I still wasn't quite right not having any livestock, so I scoured the city ordinances. Long list if livestock that I couldn't have..... nothing said about rabbits. I looked further, still nothing said about rabbits. They aren't considered a livestock here. So I set off to get some rabbits. I found a wonderful rabbitry, pedigreed rabbits, and gained a friend with the rabbitry owner. She stared telling me about dog attacks on her rabbits, and I started remembering the dog attacks on my chickens. I started getting nervous for my rabbits safety with my high energy large dog. The dog is still a puppy so I set off on "rabbit Training" her. She loved my rabbits right away. She refused to touch them out of fear of hurting them, but she loves them so much anyway. She loves watching them romp and play, and hates when she doesn't know what we are doing with them (she closely follows and watches us). She also gets protective when she sees someone she doesn't know come around. She is always close by when the kids come to see "her" rabbits and will go absolutely nuts if someone gets too close to the yard without us being outside. Who knew I'd end up with a dog that loves bunnies SO much. Has anyone else had such a surprising turn of events? <br /><br /> __________ Sun Jun 04, 2017 11:25 am __________ <br /><br /> Here is my lovely, yet odd bunny guard. Her name is Lola
