the things is bigdogs don,t relize they are not ideal for rabbits they just get on with and adapt ,2 them its natural

Rocky;it's great that you champion the "big dogs"; but lets be fair..... I've owned everything from Whippets to Deerhound X's, and ran them all on rabbits; but a 29" to 31" dog MAY catch rabbits....... but a good 23" to 26" dog SHOULD do far better than the BIG dogs on rabbit !! ATB mate !!

 

Cheers.

big dog ideal for a fireside castle but rabbs leave them to the dogs that are suited , or if your big dog catches them easy then take ascholled smaller type and watch him go , big dogs are at adisadvantage at times

Lets face it any size dogs will run them,

 

But if i was going for rabbits day and night id go for somthing 22 to 25'' max really, Like iam saying they are more suited and its as simple as that most peolpe dont by in a pup thats going to make 27/28''+ to be there sole rabbiter there more likely after other quarry really,

 

 

Like iam saying big dogs catch rabbits well and i know a fellah with a 3/4 bred Gh/Lab 27''+ and the dog must be 80/90lb or near on and iv seen him on rabbits and he does scope them up for fun but he is one of the most agile big dogs iv ever seen, Most other iv seen bent wide and took a bit of room to get up to pace and looked stuiped on fast going rabbits total out monuvered, Wouldnt be my choice for a rabbiter

i got it lol im just amazed you managed to come up with anything when faced with ascholled

personally i think once you go over 27tts you dont gain anything in a dog except weight, and you start losing agility. however big dogs do catch rabbits o.k

I realy hope that Mattie is just taking the piss with his insane ramblings and atrocious spelling ! I've a feeling he isn't as daft as he makes out !! LOL ! If he is that daft, there are a series of governments in this country that should hold up their hands and admit that the billions they have spent on education has been wasted !! LOL !!

 

Cheers.

20 odd year ago mate of mine had a 3/4 deerhound 1/4 greyhound, 30tts and there was plenty bunnys then , but looking back the dog picked bunnys up for fun , he only came a few time with us cause that dog loved to fight . and in the back of a old bedford van with 2 other lads in the back . ha ha blood and shit and piss flying about what a carry on , bye bye that was the last of that big boy in the back of my motor . we left him for dig days,
