If your dog can run rabbits and catch them the so be it, half the bloke on here don't have a clue what there talking about half the time, they just want to start an argument.

[thomps125 49]

running rabbits is a pure fittnes gain, weather its a courseign dog a bigg bull cross or even ya nans jack russel

[hellyer189 93]

Plus if ya dog can't run and catch a widdle wabbit well jokes on you

[hedz31 1,308]

ive run all my bullxs in 25 yrs on rabbits and they all catch em

 

did it take 25yr to catch them :whistling: :whistling:

why would it take 25yrs to catch 1 undisputed ?? give us an answer oh fountain of knowledge

nobody should ever look down on rabbiting as lads have allready said the humble bunny is great for getting dogs fit, any type of hunting dog

[Sirius 1,391]

The attitude to slightly look down or maybe belittle people with rabbiting dogs is something I have noticed quite a bit. Some people seem to think its slightly inferior or easy to catch rabbits day in day out with a dog regarless of the cross.

There is a dog who can catch a rabbit and there are rabbiting dogs. A dog who willl find one anywhere, mark, catch, retrieve live to hand, work free of a slip,work with ferrets all day and lamp a good shift, not just catch a rabbit, crunch it up till it lifeless and drop it..lol any old mutt can do that...lol :laugh:

 

In regard to Bull X's i would not want a dog with too much in it as I dont see how a bull terrier adds many positive traits which are desirable to a rabbiting dog compared to many other types, herding breeds etc etc.

Unusual to see a rough coated half x

[mid.land.err 30]

far from a fan of bull x's but i know of bull greys built like labrodors that make rabbits look easy
