yes a few mate,

[GrCh 856]

the reason i ask pal, i was out with a mate last night running the dogs and my dog came back with her stomach swallon and the place she was in was rife with rabbits. I'm not 100% sure she did but I cant explain why her stomach grew so fast.

my mates dog ate one after my bitch caught it, the thieving fooker grabed it and ran off with it and ate the lot

Day time mooching , many a time had a dog disapear for a while and come back with the tell tale swollen stomach , followed later by the tell tale black/ green shiny shit .

Mine never has, but a couple of weeks ago the terrier bushed a little half grown bunny from a bramble patch and the lurcher snapped it up and then just stood there and started to eat it before I put a stop to it! I can only think it was because it was such a small bunny and felt very tender. That said she has caught plenty of little ens before and never done that... Usually once she has made a kill she rapidly looses interest in the dead critter.

my saluki went through a stage of eating whole hares, the greedy twat, proper made ya sick watching him gulp em down quick as he could, frustrating but he grew out of it

Maybe a little jealousy, keeping it from the terrier?

Quite possibly, since I have had the terrier she has been more possessive of her kills. It hasn't affected her lamping so I'm not too bothered and I'm sure it was just a one off.

I know of a cocker that will bury just about every bird it gets hold of! Dead or alive makes no difference to this bitch, they are getting burried, usually somewhere f*****g horrible to have to get it back from. She's a beating dog that just has to be kept away from any picking up work as much as is possible.
