What are some dog breeds that get along with cats and rabbits?

I have 2 cats and 2 rabbits and am really hoping to get a dog. Can anyone suggest any dog breeds that may or may not get along with my other pets? Or possibly how I can train the dog to not attack or bother the cats and rabbits? Thanks guys.

1. if you want a small dog: maltese. a larger dog: collie.
2. My little Bichon Frisa gets along great with my other dog (poodle) and cat. He is so laid back I think he would get along with any small animal.
3. Get a dog that has not been bred to hunt. I would not let any dog be unsupervised with a bunny ever. As for the cat, as long as you get the dog when it's a puppy it will be fine, it's the cats you should worry about. My dog is terrified of one of my cats because he picked on her when she was a puppy. Make sure that the dogs, cats, and bunnies have their own space. We've gated off our kitchen and family room so our dog can't get upstairs.
4. Any dog, no matter what breed, can get along with other animals (no matter what species) I have a borzoi (russian wolfhound) and they are one of the top dogs that people say shouldn't be trusted around cats due to the fact that they were bred to hunt. I also have a cat. He never bothers her at all. He respects her a lot and gives her her space.
5. No matter what kind of breed of dog you get never leave them alone. My friend had a Lab and a rabbit; They were the best of friends. They even slept together and would spend hours outside together. One day she came home and there was blood all over the house and one sad bunny :[. I don't mean to scare you but I'm just warning you. If you are going to watch them get a highly trainable,friendly, non-hunting dog.
