Well, I own a 6 month old French Angora/Mini Rex mix (accidental litter). Anyway his name is Twinkie and he lived in my room until he was about 5 months old. All his litter mates were adopted out but I couldnt bare to let him go 
I moved him outside completly (not into my rabbitry shed) he has a huge hutch by house. He lived out there for about2 weeks and I started letting him run around the yard during the day( Ace has almost free range of the yard, usually but Twinkie and him now switch on and off.). My dog and Twinkie had gotten into little squabbles in my room before and a couple outside (I never saw the outside ones I just heard the rukus). So I was training my dog one day when she snapped at Twinkie, he took off running, keep in mind Twinkie is a5 pound bunny and my dog is only 6 pounds. Twinkie ran did a loop came straight back at her. He rammed right into her side under to her belly and tried to bite her. I picked my dog up and Twinkie ran off. That was odd to me, he was just always my lil' lovely bunny. He never bit or showed any signs of aggresion that I saw before. I figured he was scared and it was a fluke, well the next day I was out training her again when unprovoked Twinkie did the same thing, this time a little meaner. Then today I had Twinkie in my run (he never goes in there but I wanted to train my dog in peace. I have a dog crate in the pen, this is just incase the rabbit wants to go into a smaller space and chillax or sleep. Twinkie jumped ontop of it and jumped out. I didnt bother putting him back in since I was almost done training Pheobie and he was off in the yard. He walked near me I told pheobie "Lets go inside" she began to walk for the door and Twinkie went ballistic. He charged her and managed to actually bit her on the side (not breaking skin thank god) I fast picked Pheobie up who is now growling and trying to bite Twinkie (in defense) and Twinkie ran circles around me. I reached down to calm him down and I touched him and he leaped up and tried to bite my hand. Then he bit my foot (breaking skin!) and I just went inside. I went out a few minutes later when he calmed down and put him in his cage. Sorry for the length of this post. What is wrong with Twinkie? He has never acted this way before! Its only when my dog comes around too:?
