The thing for me is the strike the dogs have, many times we've watched cartwheels performed ,always coming up with a rabbit. In my area rabbits were in short supply. The hares were not as easy to catch as the ones up north, as for foxes , they were my main quarry, lots of lads ask,"but can they do fox" aren't they "rabbit/hare dogs". All depends on the time you put into the dog. Whatever way it's bred. But a minshaw blooded dog can truly be described as a dog capable for any occasion ,
