I think all breeds can learn to respect any other pets that it grows up with. The only problem I can see is that all three of them are bird dogs, whether it be pointing or retrieving, so it may take a little more work because instinct may take over in them. When I was a little girl we had a bird dog and even though she had never been trained to hunt her drive was strong for anything that flew, even if it was my parakeets. But we took her in as an adult so she was possibly not socialized with that type of stuff at a young age. Our boxers on the other hand did not grow up with small animals and yet they learned to have respect for a ferret that we use to have...


If you notice in this last picture Champ even has a rawhide, and she never snapped at Peek-A-Boo for being near her food.


It may just take a little patience but major socialization as a pup with the animals you want it to accept as an adult. Good luck.

Thanks so much Tracy! I think you're right--and the pictures of your boxers with your ferret is so cute! Thanks for sharing them
