its the collie in her keep the training up just be a bit firmer with the commands my bitch has to kill them before she brings them to hand.

Why take her out rabbiting before you've trained her to retrieve ?

 

Just asking for problems... no wonder she "steals them" she don't know any better!

try baging them up after there dead or put em somewere she cant get hold of them up on tree branch etc but it would be better out of sight she will soon forget there there and look for the next one its something you just have to kepp telling her she will learn in the end ,its better in the long run that the dog knows that your in charge dont let her get away with it to many times
