NO. I have a cocker and she would kill my pigs if I let her have the chance. They are hunters.

I have two cocker spaniels, one of them just kinda watched my guinea pig a followed it around, the other kept jumping at it for fun. But I kept them in the same rooms and they seemed fine. Past tense cause my guinea pig died of old age last year. They all lived well while she was alive ^.^. Just don't let them out in the same place. Wow I wrote too much.

It doesn't matter the breed of the dog it matters how you and the guinea pigs react. You have to be firm with the dog and let it know who the boss is. Don't be really mean though just firm. Set boundaries for the dog and when it obeys reward. If it doesn't don't reward but repeat until they get it right. This will take some time. All dogs are hunters. Make sure before you introduce them wear the dogs energy down. Best of luck
