Dunkanon 380 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Wont be the 1st dog to do it and nor the last, plenty good dogs have been on rabbits and there be a few on this site no doubt. If it becomes a habit is when the trouble starts. Quote Link to post

OldNog 432 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Cull if because of 1 rabbit jesus christ Know how you feel, happened to me the once but not since Quote Link to post
Guest busterdog Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 You only get the problem if you dig to them, if you know your terriers working up to a rabbit then walk away and be quiet untill he comes out. If you keep digging to him he'll think it's all in a days work and he'll be at them all the time. 6 Quote Link to post
